Playson invests in talented workforce with trio of promotions
Michael Tadross, Christos Zoulianitis and Martyna Scieszka set to lead respective units for award-winning provider
Playson, the fast-growing digital entertainment supplier, has revamped its corporate strategy with three internal promotions that align with the company’s ambitious business plans.
Michael Tadross, who has been with Playson for over six years, has been promoted to Director of Account Management. His new role will see him take even greater strategic leadership of the Account Management department and influence its further advancement.
Christos Zoulianitis has been promoted to Director of Market Strategy. His responsibilities now include developing and executing the company’s overall business strategy, introducing a new commercial approach that will secure market growth and brand exposure to all key focus markets.
Having started as an Account Manager in 2018, this is Zoulianitis’ third internal promotion at Playson, previously working under Head of Partnerships, showcasing his ability to communicate the organisation’s strategic vision and objectives by coordinating and evaluating strategic plans and initiatives.
Martyna Scieszka is now Head of Compliance following a strong performance since joining Playson just 14 months ago, providing the confidence for the studio she is ready to embrace additional responsibilities in a more senior role. Scieszka will spearhead Playson’s Compliance unit, fostering a culture of excellence as the company looks to extend its reach across regulated markets worldwide.
The latest promotions demonstrate the superior talent of Playson’s wider team and the company’s ongoing commitment to delivering career progression for its people, following the announcement of Vsevolod Lapin’s move to Deputy CEO last month.
Michael Tadross, Director of Account Management at Playson, said: “I am really excited to get started in my new role here at Playson.
“We have a unified team of experienced Account Managers and, as we continue to pursue our goal of expansion within regulated markets, I’m thrilled to further lead the team in facilitating Playson’s continued growth through striving to provide a first-class experience to our valued business partners.”
Christos Zoulianitis Director of Market Strategy at Playson, said: “For one of the long-serving members of the Playson team, I am delighted to be recognised with my promotion to Director of Market Strategy.
“Throughout my tenure we have experienced some good times and other more challenging ones, but with a clear vision in place coinciding with our ambitious growth plans, I am confident we can reach our goals.”
Martyna Scieszka, Head of Compliance at Playson, said: “Having worked in the iGaming industry for over a decade now, it’s great to now use my experience to enhance the compliance team at Playson.
“Our enhanced growth strategy is rapidly taking shape and I hope we can continue to secure some exciting licences.”
Alex Ivshin, CEO at Playson, said: “It brings us great pleasure make promotions from within the company. Michael, Christos and Martyna thoroughly deserve their new positions within Playson’s senior team.
“All three have demonstrated all the characteristics that we look for in our senior team as we continue to build and reach our goals. It’s great to know we have their experience and leadership.”
Award-winning sportsbook provider strengthens LATAM presence by integrating with leading iGaming platform ecosystem ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup
2, June 2026: Altenar, a leading sportsbook provider, has partnered with Atlaslive to integrate its fully managed sportsbook into the company’s iGaming platform ecosystem, expanding access to its award-winning sports betting technology for operators across Latin America.
Through the integration, Atlaslive-powered operators will gain access to Altenar’s complete sportsbook solution alongside the platform’s existing infrastructure, enabling operators to choose the sportsbook configuration that best aligns with their market strategy, regulatory requirements, and player acquisition goals.
The partnership further strengthens Altenar’s presence across LATAM and supports its strategy of making flexible, high-performance sportsbook technology available through leading platform providers. By combining Altenar’s sportsbook capabilities with Atlaslive’s scalable platform environment, operators benefit from greater deployment flexibility without compromising on performance, trading depth, or operational efficiency.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, demand for scalable and reliable sportsbook technology is expected to increase significantly. The integration positions operators to capitalise on one of the highest-volume periods in the sports betting calendar with reduced implementation timelines and a proven sportsbook solution designed to perform under peak demand.
Altenar currently operates across more than 50 regulated jurisdictions and holds licences from major regulatory authorities including the UKGC, MGA and AGCO. Most recently, the company was recognised as Best Online Sportsbook Provider at the SiGMA South America Awards 2026, following its Sportsbook Supplier of the Year win at the SBC Awards Latinoamérica 2024.
Frederico Caputi, Senior Sales Manager at Altenar, said:
“We are pleased to partner with Atlaslive and bring our sportsbook technology to their growing operator network. This integration expands the reach of our fully managed sportsbook solution while giving operators more flexibility in how they build and scale their sports betting offering.
“Through this collaboration, operators gain access to a proven sportsbook product that combines live betting capabilities, advanced risk management, and extensive sports content with the speed and scalability required to succeed in competitive markets.”
Volodymyr Taftai, Country Director for Brazil at Atlaslive, added:
“Giving operators real choice in how they build their sportsbook is a competitive advantage – for them and for us. Altenar’s track record across regulated markets and their depth in risk management and trading make them the right partner to start with. We’re expanding our platform into a multi-sportsbook ecosystem because that’s what operators in today’s market need: flexibility without compromise on quality.”
The agreement reinforces Altenar’s commitment to building an open and adaptable sportsbook ecosystem that enables operators and platform providers to deliver differentiated sports betting experiences across regulated markets worldwide.
