Xtremepush appoints Morten Tonnesen as Chief Growth Officer to accelerate expansion

Xtremepush, the leading provider of CRM and loyalty marketing powered by AI, has announced the appointment of Morten Tonnesen as Chief Growth Officer.
An accomplished executive with over a decade of experience driving success at major gambling and technology companies, Tonnesen will lead growth initiatives across the entire organisation as Xtremepush cements its market leadership as a provider of next-gen solutions for the betting and gaming industries.
As CGO, Tonnesen will own responsibility for Xtremepush’s continued push to establish relationships with tier-one operators, partnerships, and marketing. In addition, his role will extend beyond those areas as he leads from the front on sales, product, and overall corporate strategy, leveraging his industry expertise and proven track record in scaling businesses.
Tonnesen is a seasoned executive with a proven track record in the online gambling and technology sectors. With over a decade of industry expertise, he comes from his latest venture Shape Games where as CCO and a major shareholder, he was part of driving the company’s success and subsequent exit to Kambi in 2022. Prior to that he co-founded and successfully exited sports betting operator BetWarrior, now a major operator in LatAm.
His entry into online gambling was with PokerStars where he rose to head up global marketing as the company grew to take up 75% market share, launching sports and casino in the lead-up to its sale and listing. Tonnesen’s addition follows a period of significant momentum for Xtremepush, including the recent opening of a Brazil-based office and partnerships with major operators across Latin America. His appointment demonstrates Xtremepush’s focus on scaling its organisation with top-tier leadership as demand accelerates for its innovative AI-powered platform.
Tommy Kearns, CEO of Xtremepush, said: “Morten is a heavyweight addition to our leadership team who brings invaluable perspective from both the operator and supplier sides of the gaming industry.
“His entrepreneurial mindset, data-driven approach, and demonstrated success growing companies make him the ideal person to guide our expansion as we capitalise on increasing demand for our innovative AI-powered platform. He is a great addition to the ambitious culture we have created at Xtremepush.”
Morten Tonnesen, CGO of Xtremepush, said: “Xtremepush has developed the best solution I have seen on the market for giving operators a sustainable competitive advantage by combining real-time data, AI, gamification and best-in-class CRM functionality into one unified platform.
“I’m thrilled to join such a talented, driven team who are so intent on achieving the business objectives of customers. I look forward to employing my extensive industry background to propel Xtremepush’s growth across all facets of the business during this exciting period.”

FDJ UNITED Confirms Strong Half-Year Progress and Maintains 2025 Guidance

FDJ UNITED, a leader in lottery, betting and gaming in Europe, announced its results for the first half of 2025.
• First-half revenue of €1867m: up +31% compared with H1 2024 reported and down -2% on a restated basis
• Buoyant performance by the French lottery and retail sports betting BU with revenue of €1290m, up +4% on a restated basis
• Lottery revenue rose by +6% to €1065m. This performance can be attributed to the whole range of games and all distribution channels, particularly digital, which rose by +16% to €160m
• Point-of-sale sports betting revenue fell by -6% to €225m. This change reflects unfavourable sports results for the operator, despite stakes boosted by an attractive football offering (+4%)
• Online betting and gaming BU2 revenue of €466m, down -12% on a restated basis
• This change reflects a very unfavourable 2024 comparison base, due in particular to the Euro football tournament, as well as tax and regulatory impacts in 2025, particularly in the Netherlands and the UK. Excluding these two markets, revenue would be up 5% thanks to the performance of other countries, including France
• Second-quarter revenue came to €235m, up +2% compared with the first quarter of 2025
• Recurring EBITDA of €441m, representing a margin of 23.6%, or 24.4% excluding the cost of the employee share ownership plan (€14m)
• Adjusted net income of €222m
• This reflects the impact of the financing of the Kindred acquisition on the financial result and the one-off tax contribution on the profits of large French companies
• 2025 objectives reiterated: stable revenue versus 2024 pro forma, with a recurring EBITDA margin of over 24%
• Successful employee share ownership plan bringing the share of capital held by employees to 4.6%
• Taken up by more than half of employees and largely oversubscribed
“2025 stands as a transition year for FDJ UNITED, with the integration of Kindred well on track. In this context, our first-half performance is in line with the expected full-year trajectory. Besides, we are pleased by the success of the employee share ownership plan launched by the Group, reflecting our long tradition of sharing FDJ UNITED’s value creation with all stakeholders,” Stéphane Pallez, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of FDJ UNITED.
