GVC Holdings PLC, is pleased to announce the appointment of Sandeep Tiku as Chief Operating Officer (COO), effective immediately.

Sandeep joined GVC as IT Director in 2014 and became the Group’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO) in 2016. Prior to this, Sandeep spent fourteen years at Valtech, a global digital agency focused on business transformation, where he was a global SMAC (Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud) practice head working for large enterprises in e-commerce and the digital and mobile spaces.

Whilst at GVC, Sandeep has led a number of significant technology and platform transformation programs involving technological revolution, people re-skilling and innovation, culminating in the completion of GVC’s industry-leading proprietary gaming platform. Sandeep’s work has ably supported multiple acquisitions of global gambling companies and the successful integration of these businesses thereafter. Sandeep was pivotal in the technical migration of Ladbrokes Coral onto the Group’s proprietary technology platform. The Ladbrokes Coral migration was the largest that GVC has completed and represented one of the final parts of what was the most complex integration process in the gambling industry to-date.

A search is currently underway for Sandeep’s replacement as CTO.

GVC has also promoted Marc Lange to the position of Chief of Staff to the CEO. Marc has over twenty years’ experience in technology, strategy, management and consulting. He previously served as the Group’s integration director since February 2018 following the acquisition of Ladbrokes Coral.  Marc joined the Group in 2012.

Andy Hicks, GVC’s managing director of retail, has been promoted to the GVC senior leadership team and will also report directly to the CEO. Andy has over twenty years’ experience in retail, having held senior positions at Dixons and Woolworths before joining Coral in 2009.

Shay Segev, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “I am delighted to be promoting GVC talent. Sandeep brings unparalleled experience and insight to the role of COO. We are first and foremost a technology business and this is at the heart of what we do – supporting customer services, trading, product and our people.  It therefore makes sense for him to take on this broader role. His leadership of our technology strategy and teams, combined with his knowledge of our legacy stack and proven results through our integrations, means that he is the right person for the job. I’d also like to congratulate Marc and Andy who both are operational experts with proven track records of delivering large-scale change initiatives. Their progression to the senior leadership team is richly deserved.”

Thunderkick launches debut crash game Heads Will Roll

Studio combines arcade and dice mechanics in ominous release

 Independent slots studio Thunderkick has marked its first foray into a new product vertical with the release of Heads Will Roll.

The crash game, set in an eerie underground vault, tasks players with climbing a multiplier ladder by rolling a die with three possible outcomes: level-up, Fate Mode, or game over.

The level-up icon progresses the player to the next rung of the prize ladder, boosting the available cash out, Fate Mode replaces the standard die, increasing both the number of steps climbed and the chance of landing a game over symbol, which ends the betting round instantly.

Four difficulty variants each present a unique risk level, granting the user complete control over their experience. The likelihood of rolling a game over symbol increases with each difficulty level, as does the maximum multiplier, which ranges from 35x in Easy mode up to 2,400x in Brutal mode.

Once the player moves within one or two steps of the final multiplier, the All or Nothing round is triggered. Played on a red and gold die, the number of sides is determined by the active difficulty level, and there are just two possible outcomes: maximum win or game over.

Following a successful cashout, the multiplier which would have been reached if the player kept rolling is revealed, providing a unique opportunity for the development of game strategy.

Heads Will Roll is Thunderkick’s first venture outside of the slots vertical, demonstrating the studio’s commitment to diversifying its product portfolio in alignment with the latest industry trends.

Mike Collins, Game Product Owner at Thunderkick, said: “There has been a huge increase in the number of players opting for crash and arcade-style games in 2025, with the fast-paced betting rounds providing that instant gratification they are seeking.

“Heads Will Roll marks our first step outside of the world of slots, offering Thunderkick players a distinct, action-packed experience where the player has complete autonomy over how they play.

“While the gameplay moves away from our classic slots, visually, it feels reassuringly familiar, retaining the signature Thunderkick flair.”
