Sportingtech appoints Tommy Molloy as Chief Sportsbook Officer
Supplier bolsters team with addition of experienced sportsbook specialist
Sportingtech, the multi-award-winning, full-service betting and gaming platform provider, has made another top-tier addition to its executive team with the appointment of Tommy Molloy as Chief Sportsbook Officer.
Molloy joins Sportingtech after three successful years as Sportsbook & Trading Director at Pronet Gaming. Prior to that, he was Head of Sports Trading at Tabcorp UK.
In his new role, Molloy will oversee and elevate the company’s already-impressive sports betting offering, accelerating the evolution of Sportingtech’s flagship Quantum platform.
The sportsbook is set to drive significant engagement for operators during the 2022 World Cup, with Sportingtech’s Popular Bets and Events widgets well-placed to attract and retain customers during this year’s tournament.
Molloy’s expertise will prove vital in the company’s efforts to further enhance its product offering and performance across a number of global territories, particularly Latin America, where the Quantum platform is already thriving.
The appointment of Tommy Molloy as Chief Sportsbook Officer follows a string of senior hires at Sportingtech. Bobby Longhurst was recently named as the company’s new Managing Director, along with Colin McDonagh as Chief Sales Officer, Daniel Stone as Head of Marketing and Anthony Murphy as Head of Commercial Account Management.
Bobby Longhurst, Managing Director at Sportingtech, said: “Sportingtech’s strategy for growth has product innovation at its heart, and Tommy represents another vital piece of that puzzle.
“His experience and superior knowledge of the sports betting space is hugely valuable to us, and I am confident he will achieve great things as part of the team.”
Tommy Molloy, Chief Sportsbook Officer at Sportingtech, said: “I am thrilled to be joining the talented Sportingtech team at such an important step in the company’s evolution.
“With the proven quality of our widgets and Quantum platform, the Sportingtech product portfolio is second to none, and the upcoming World Cup will be the perfect stage for us to show that. The strength of this offering means we can consistently offer operators the means to excel, and I look forward to helping showcase that in the weeks and months to come.”

PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has served up a classic slot with its Diner Frenzy Spins. This is a 5-reel, 4-rows video slot featuring connecting ways and sticky symbol respins.
Diner Frenzy Spins is set within a vibrant, retro-futuristic diner with a buzzy atmosphere thanks to a playful soundtrack. During any spin, the Mystery Respin may be randomly triggered while the reels are spinning.
At the start of the Mystery Respin, a set of low-paying symbols and high-paying symbols, including ice creams, sodas, fries and chicken wings, will be randomly chosen. The reels will consist only of the selected symbols, with all other symbols becoming inactive.
Once the reels stop, if one or more additional symbols hit, any low-paying symbols transform into high-paying symbols. The reels will respin again with the previously appeared symbols remaining in place. As players collect more symbols, the reel height expands—reaching five rows at 10 symbols, six rows at 20, and a maximum of seven rows at 30 symbols—unlocking even greater win potential.
Three diner girl Scatter symbols launch the Bonus Feature and these can only appear on reels one, three and five. Before beginning, a set of low-paying symbols and high-paying symbols are randomly chosen. Now the reels will include only the selected set of low-paying symbols and high-paying symbols, with all other symbols inactive.
Players start with three bonus spins and every additional symbol will reset the bonus spin counter back to the full starting total. After all reels stop spinning, if one or more additional symbols appear on the reels, all the low-paying symbols will be transformed into the high-paying symbols. As more symbols are served up, the reel height expands again to 5 rows at 10 symbols, 6 rows at 20, and a maximum of 7 rows at 30 symbols.
PG Soft’s spokesperson commented: “Diner Frenzy serves up a game that’s bursting with flavour, fun, and features. Every spin delivers a taste of nostalgia and the potential for mouth-watering wins that’ll keep players coming back for seconds!”

Esportes da Sorte hosted its Match-Fixing Prevention Forum last week at Ceará and Náutico as main sponsor of both clubs. Held in partnership with Sportradar, the initiative is part of a series of in-person workshops, with upcoming sessions planned for Corinthians and Ferroviária.
The project aims to combat illegal practices and reinforce a strong commitment to integrity in sport. Activities were tailored for athletes and members of the technical staff from the men’s and women’s professional teams, as well as the under-20 squads. During the sessions, topics such as the definition of match-fixing, types of fraud, fraudsters’ modus operandi, legal risks, and reputational impacts were covered. Participants were offered practical guidance on how to respond to suspicious approaches.
“This training programme reinforces our commitment to sports integrity and responsible gaming, pillars that guide our actions. We believe education is the best form of prevention, and we want to stand alongside clubs in this joint effort for transparency and the protection of sport,” said Ana Carolina Luna Maçães, Compliance Manager at Esportes Gaming Brasil, the group behind the Esportes da Sorte brand.
“Ceará takes this topic very seriously. The club is an important player in the fight against match-fixing. We act preventively with regular meetings and have a handbook that addresses the topic with our squad. It is our duty to provide these moments of learning for athletes and technical staff. We live in a time when the integrity of sport is being questioned. In this scenario, actions like this are extremely important,” commented Lucas Drubscky, Football Executive at Ceará.
The sessions were led by Felippe Marchetti, Integrity Partnerships Manager at Sportradar, a global sports technology company and recognized authority in sports integrity. In Brazil, Sportradar partners with the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and 17 state federations, monitoring more than 10,000 matches per season. The company recently signed a Technical Cooperation Agreement (TCA) with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Sports.
“Raising awareness among athletes and teams is one of the most effective ways to protect competitions from manipulation. These workshops are designed to equip participants with the knowledge and tools to recognize threats and act responsibly. We are proud to support initiatives like this that strengthen the integrity of Brazilian sports,” said Felippe Marchetti.
