Gaming executive with more than 30 years of tribal, gaming and cybersecurity experience joins global infrastructure and cybersecurity business

Leading managed hosting, connectivity, cloud and cybersecurity provider to the gambling industry, Continent 8 Technologies, has welcomed Jerad Swimmer (pictured) to its global sales team as the business continues to expand at scale and pace.

Swimmer is a highly experienced business development executive with 33 years of experience in the global gaming industry. He has worked for seven tribes and held positions at Gaming Laboratories International, FABI Cash, Indigo Sky Casino and 13 other gaming facilities as well as serving under the Quapaw Tribal Gaming Agency and the Eastern Shawnee Tribal Gaming Commission. He joins Continent 8 Technologies from BIG Cyber where he was Director of Business Development for the past twelve months.

Based in Miami, Oklahoma, Swimmer will bring this vast tribal and cybersecurity experience to the role of Regional Sales Director at Continent 8 Technologies, where he will be responsible for supporting the company’s growth across North America. With his knowledge of the North American tribal landscape, he will be focused on empowering tribal and commercial gaming operators, ensuring these businesses have the very best infrastructure solutions and cybersecurity protections in place to succeed in the competitive landscape.

“I’d like to give a warm welcome to Jerad, who becomes the latest member of our global sales team,” the founder and Chief Executive Officer for Continent 8 Technologies, Michael Tobin, said. “Jerad is an industry veteran with a deep understanding of the United States market and the infrastructure and cybersecurity solutions businesses need to succeed in tightly regulated and highly competitive markets. With Jerad on board, we can continue to deliver a world-class experience to our existing customers while engaging those yet to work with us.”

“It’s an honour to join Continent 8 Technologies’ global sales team and to be able to support the business with its plans for the North American market, specifically focused on developing relationships with tribal businesses and tribal leaders,” Swimmer said. “As a proud member of the United Keetoowah Band and growing up in the gaming industry, I must do my absolute best to protect tribal country and tribal assets; the biggest asset being the youth, which is the future of our tribes.

“I look forward to working closely with tribal governments, operators, regulators and suppliers over the coming months and helping them to find the right cybersecurity solutions for their needs. After all, cyber risks are at an all-time high and all businesses must be prepared. This is an aspect of business that simply can’t be ignored and Continent 8 Technologies has the solutions and services needed to ensure resilience and protect sovereignty, assets, networks, systems and data.”

Swimmer will be attending RES 2024, presented by the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development, March 11 to 14, 2024, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

BMM Testlabs has been granted official approval to provide independent testing services for the Province of Santa Fe Province as that jurisdiction launches its regulated online gaming and sports betting program.

The authorization from provincial authorities means suppliers and operators can now work with an established lab to certify games, platforms and systems for the new market.

The approval comes after Santa Fe published its laboratory regulation (No. 523/25) in November 2025 and was issued by the provincial gaming authority, the Caja de Asistencia Social – Lotería de Santa Fe. BMM’s local and regional capabilities — including offices and labs across Latin America — position the company to support both early entrants and established suppliers as the market develops.

Marzia Turrini, President of iGaming & Cybersecurity at BMM, said the approval underscores the company’s commitment to helping regulators, operators and suppliers maintain high standards of fairness, security and compliance as Brazil and other Latin American markets expand. This Santa Fe authorization adds to BMM’s growing regional footprint and complements the group’s broader suite of services. Marzia Turrini

BMM Testlabs operates alongside sister businesses within the BMM Innovation Group, including cybersecurity services (BIG Cyber) and the RG24seven virtual training arm, creating an integrated offering of product testing, cyber protection and compliance education for regulated markets. This combined approach helps regulators enforce technical standards while giving operators a clear pathway to market entry. BIG Cyber RG24seven

As Argentina’s regulated gaming landscape continues to evolve, early approvals like this one are important signals for the industry — they enable faster certification, local technical support and clearer timelines for operators planning launches in the province and beyond. BMM’s expanded access across Latin America is part of a broader industry trend in which established test labs secure local authorizations to support jurisdiction-specific requirements.
