Pragmatic Play Appoints New VP of Strategy and Operations: Bhotesh Maheshwari
Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the gaming industry, has appointed former Rank Digital Head of Gaming Product, Bhotesh Maheshwari, as its new Vice President of Commercial Strategy and Operations as the company looks to further cement its position as a top tier supplier in regulated markets.
His core responsibilities will include overseeing commercial operations and building closer product partnerships with leading operators across Europe while expanding Pragmatic Play’s footprint in newly regulated territories across the globe.
The 39-year-old will also head Pragmatic Play’s Gibraltar office which serves UK, German, Spanish and Portuguese operators with a team of three executives working to achieve the supplier’s goals in the region.
Maheshwari has a long history in the gaming industry, working for both top tier operators and suppliers during his 15-year career. Since starting out as a retail manager for William Hill in 2006, he has worked closely with product teams to deliver gaming propositions customised for local player bases across UK, Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
Having spent eight years in a variety of commercial and product roles in the land-based gaming space for William Hill and Inspired Gaming, he moved to Betfair in an online gaming role supporting its arcade product and built an in-house gaming proposition and the innovative timed jackpot offering.
He eventually joined the Rank Group in Gibraltar in 2016 heading casino revenue and product development for online brands Grosvenorcasinos.com and Meccabingo.com.
Julian Jarvis, Chief Executive Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “We are thrilled to have Bhotesh join us, and look forward to his impressive industry experience benefiting our growing team.
“The projects he has previously been involved with and the impact they have had on development in his previous roles bode very well for his future with us.”
Bhotesh Maheshwari added: “I look forward to working closely with the founders and management team at Pragmatic Play which has established itself as a leading multi-product provider in our industry in a very short time.
“We have hugely exciting expansion plans within regulated regions and new product verticals and it’s fantastic to be embarking on this next phase of growth for the company.”
Pragmatic Play currently produces up to five new slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through one single API.

EvenBet Gaming Launches its Turnkey Casino Platform and Game Aggregator
EvenBet Gaming, a global card games and poker software provider, has expanded its product portfolio with the launch of its Turnkey Casino Platform and Game Aggregator, marking its formal expansion into the casino vertical.
With more than 20 years of experience in the poker industry, the move marks the next phase of growth for the company, bringing together its proven poker software and advanced casino solutions into a single framework.
At the core of this expansion is the Turnkey Casino Platform, designed to minimise launch friction and provide a structured and accessible entry into the market, supported by scalable infrastructure to facilitate long-term growth.
The ecosystem combines a ready-to-launch casino platform with EvenBet’s Game Aggregator, comprising over 15,000 titles from more than 230 providers. It also includes an advanced promotional and bonus toolkit, payment infrastructure, KYC tools, an internal revshare affiliate module and external CPA service integrations, enabling operators to launch and scale efficiently without needing extensive technical resources.
EvenBet’s strategy is designed to support a seamless product journey, accommodating both new market entrants seeking an efficient launch and established operators looking to expand their portfolio. Underpinned by a single player account and shared balance, the platform is built to drive cross-vertical engagement, enabling a natural transition between casino and poker.
Supporting this approach is its suite of purpose-built hybrid games tailored to casino players. One Click Poker removes the traditional poker lobby, eliminating a common barrier to entry, while Spins Poker blends player-versus-player gameplay with fast-paced, slot-style mechanics.
Additional casino side games and rewards within the poker lobby play a vital role in supporting the transition of poker players into casino, further optimising the two-way conversion pipeline.
With a track record of delivering first-class poker solutions to tier-one operators worldwide, the expansion positions EvenBet to unlock previously untapped revenue streams as it targets further global growth.
Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO at EvenBet Gaming, said: “The integration of our Turnkey Casino Platform and Game Aggregator into the EvenBet ecosystem represents a natural evolution of our offering.
“The modular platform has been engineered to remove the complexities typically associated with launching a casino, while also providing a clear pathway to a full-scale poker product.
“By leveraging two decades of industry experience and deep technical expertise, we are well equipped to support operators at every stage of their journey, from initial launch to global scale.”
