Aggregator and platform United Remote has appointed Jessica Walker to the senior management team to lead on sales and international business development, the latest significant addition to the United Remote management group under CEO and industry veteran Jeremy Fall. Jessica will be responsible for commercial development in present key markets as well as nurturing new territories.

Jessica brings with her extensive experience in igaming marketing and media, having been Head of Media at igaming event producer SiGMA, and prior to that she was Head of News at NEWSBTC and a Producer-Presenter at BloxLive TV, the world’s first DLT & FinTech news network.

Based in Malta, Ms. Walker is responsible for all global business development activities which includes delivery of United Remote’s sales, commercial and B2B customer strategy. She becomes a key member of United Remote’s Executive Management team, to provide strong commercial and sales leadership to the company, thus ensuring the delivery of near-term product needs as well as the longer term business and technology strategy of the company.

United Remote has successfully completed a period of intensive restructuring driven by the need to embrace game-changing innovation which has resulted in major technology and enterprise investments. The organisational culture has been significantly reshaped to provide added-value to operators, with the appointments of Volke Rohde to Chief Financial Officer, Dr. Serafino Vaccino as Head of Legal and DPO, Andreas Rauer Head of Information Security and Internal Audit, Kevin Norville for Human Resources, Joe Griffin as Head of Research & Development, and Daniel Cass at Account Manager, who are now all joined by Jessica Walker in the Sales and Business Development role.

In addition to technology investments and enhancements, United Remote has been adapting the agreements the company previously had put in place, de-risking the entire enterprise, and focusing very particularly on customer protection. Following this period of capacity building, Jessica will be focused on commercial matters that expand the brand franchise of United Remote and will work to maximise opportunities in the rapidly-growing global market.

United Remote has embraced substantial change to streamline new integrations and provide operators profitable real-time data. This is all part of upping United Remote’s service to the iGaming industry and ensuring that the B2B-channel is given priority with an easy-to-use back-end where operators can quickly set up the tools available on the platform. United Remote has carefully assembled a differentiated portfolio of over 2000 entertaining, innovative and unique games that complement their own in-house titles.

Jessica Walker, Sales and Business Development Manager, said: “I look forward to being part of this exciting company’s innovative approach and supporting United Remote’s rapid growth in the marketplace and our strategy is to support our business development going forward by identifying and getting ahead of customer needs and desires.”

Announcing the appointment, United Remote Group CEO Jeremy Fall said: “Jessica Walker is an outstanding appointment for United Remote as we extend the influence of our advanced technologies to operators and partners around the world. I am thrilled to welcome Jessica to United Remote’s senior management team, a highly skilled and experienced woman who will be a key team player in helping us to drive our future development and to achieve our ambitions. Her commitment to United Remote is another mark of confidence in our technology platform and our growth potential.”

Sportradar’s iGaming brand leads with bracket-style World Football x2026, plus updates to Virtual Football and Lucky 6.

Playradar, Sportradar’s iGaming brand, has released four football-themed titles ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which begins on June 11. The drop includes two original games and two updated versions of existing products.

The releases are World Football x2026, Virtual Football World Championship 2026, Football Plinko Pro, and Lucky 6: Football edition. Playradar said the games are designed to target different player segments and to connect sports bettors and casino players through content that links both verticals.

The headline launch, World Football x2026, is a bracket-based game using Mines-style mechanics. Players pick outcomes from the Round of 16 and progress through each round to the final; one incorrect prediction ends the game, while a cash-out option is available.

The other launches include Football Plinko Pro, which adapts the plinko format to a football theme; Virtual Football World Championship 2026, which Playradar said runs a 32-team, 64-match World Cup structure with pre-match and in-play markets such as over/under goals and goalscorer; and Lucky 6: Football Edition, a bingo-style title using balls with flags from participating nations.

Edo Haitin, EVP of iGaming said: “The scale of the 2026 World Cup is unprecedented, with the sheer volume of fans entering markets worldwide creating huge demand for football-themed content, and the operators best placed to succeed are those with games that meet every need. These four titles have each been designed with that in mind. The World Cup attracts a huge spectrum of customers, and when taken together, this product stack provides operators with the tools needed to keep them engaged throughout the tournament.”
