Videoslots appoints Marco Trucco as Chief Marketing Officer
Casino operator Videoslots has named Marco Trucco as its new Chief Marketing Officer.
Trucco, who has 16 years’ experience within the iGaming industry, bolsters the brand with his in-depth knowledge of the sector.
In his last role, Trucco worked as Managing Director of GGPoker, where he established the European hub in Malta and led the expansion of the poker operator to several EU markets.
Previously, he held the position of Associate Director of International Marketing at The Stars Group, where he managed the acquisition efforts for PokerStars and PokerStars Casino, after his experience as Italy Country Manager.
He began his gaming career in 2007, with different management positions in Italy, including Gaming Director at Eurobet.
With prior knowledge of the working environment in Malta, Trucco will be seen as a vital cog within the business as Videoslots begins to strengthen its operations in Spain, Italy and LatAm as well as expanding into new markets such as Ontario, following the news of the operator going live in the region at the end of June.
Ulle Skottling, Deputy CEO at Videoslots, said: “The role of CMO is a vital part of any business, especially for us at Videoslots, and we believe we are in good hands with Marco at the helm.
“Marco has nearly two decades worth of experience, working in various parts of Europe and his understanding of the sector fits in perfectly with our ambitions.”
Marco Trucco, CMO at Videoslots, said: “It is an honour to be appointed CMO at one of the industry’s best operators. My role is to raise Videoslots’ exposure to the growing number of online casino players who demand a superior product and great customer service.
“I’ll make the best use of my experience and creativity, with the intention of bolstering Videoslots across many markets globally.”
DATA.BET, a trusted sportsbook solution supplier, has published its annual Sportsbook Report, an in-depth look at its performance in 2025, and the key trends shaping the European iGaming industry heading into 2026. The reports reflect the company’s commitment to transparency and giving operators a clear view of what’s working and how to capitalize on it.
The 2025 Sportsbook Report goes beyond the numbers as it unpacks the thinking behind DATA.BET’s performance to date. The company saw an average of 23% increase in their clients’ turnover, demonstrating a clear picture of what’s working in the iGaming space today. The report covers:
- Industry trends that defined iGaming in 2025 and continue to influence the market in 2026
- Rising tax & regulation across European markets, pushing operators to reassess where and how they run their business
- The demand of low-tier esports tournaments and high-engagement disciplines such as Valorant semi-pro matches has proven growth.
- Key metrics and business results across the company’s three verticals: esports, sports, and virtuals.
- A practical guide for casino brands planning to add a sportsbook to their projects in 2026, backed by proof of existing client base.
“We believe that transparency builds trust and moves the whole industry forward. At DATA.BET sits at the core of everything we do, and this report reflects that. With the addition of sports betting last year, we want to show how our product continues to evolve and improve, and how we help operators grow their revenue through betting that works,” commented Yurii Berest, CEO of DATA.BET.
