QTech Games appoints Crystal Nadal to the role of Sales Director
Top distributor for emerging markets secures well-known and respected sales leader to continue expansion of its global footprint
QTech Games, the leading distributor for all emerging markets, has appointed Crystal Nadal to the position of Sales Director.
Crystal is a well-known and respected operator in the industry, armed with a wealth of international expertise within business development and sales that is uniquely fine-tuned for Asia’s patchwork make-up of territories.
Crystal arrives at QTech Games after successful recent stints at Tom Horn Gaming, where she acted as Head of Business Development for Asia; Aura Gaming, where she was COO; and Solid Gaming where she held a range of senior marketing roles across an array of varied content – including live-dealer and assorted igaming solutions for the fragmented Asian market. In each case, she diligently built the brand’s reputation in gaming markets from India to the Far East, demonstrating a keen eye for strategy and new sales across both digital and land-based sectors.
Now Crystal brings those skills to bear at the industry’s leading platform and distributor for growth territories. She will be responsible for managing QTech Games’ existing partners throughout the world’s largest continent, and spearheading the expansion of QTech Games’ burgeoning influence into other untapped “margin” markets.
Crystal Nadal said: “I’ve always based my business relationships on the ability to add value. Working with QTech Games, I’ve not only found the premier distributor for delivering localised games in Asia, but also a strong, experienced team that are client-focused and share an ongoing commitment to tailor their offering to make it work for the customer.
“My new colleagues at QTech Games have excellent relationships across the sector, and their proprietary platform has quickly become the trailblazer in our home territory of Asia. They’re trusted, supportive, collaborative and well-regarded. I can’t get behind a better story than that.”
Philip Doftvik, CEO of QTech Games, commented: “We’re thrilled that Crystal has joined the QTech Games team and she’s hit the ground running. With her winning mindset and attitude, she is also a perfect fit in our company culture. Her experience and contacts in sales and business development are second to none in the Asia landscape, so she’ll be a real asset to both the company and all our clients.
“Securing the best executive talent has always been a main driver of our ability to scale. Therefore, we’re naturally delighted that Crystal is now taking the wheel for further business development and sales in our core continent.”

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has given gaming affiliates, developers and support service providers until early 2026 to comply with its newly implemented B2B Accreditation Framework, a regulatory system that formalises participation in the iGaming supply chain.
Companies that submit applications by December 31, 2025, will qualify for a three-year initial accreditation, while unaccredited foreign content providers face removal from licensed platforms after March 31, 2026.
The framework, which took effect on October 2, sets mandatory accreditation requirements for all third-party entities providing gaming content, systems or technical support to PAGCOR-licensed operators.
Accreditation covers several categories, including gaming affiliates, game content providers (GCPs) and support service providers (SSPs). Gaming affiliates may act as aggregators that distribute multiple game titles to operators, while GCPs are developers or studios supplying electronic game software or live-streamed content.
Accreditation is valid for two years from the date of PAGCOR Board approval, an increase from the previous one-year term.
Foreign data or content streaming providers that fail to secure accreditation by the March 2026 deadline will have their content deemed “non-compliant and unauthorized.” They may appoint a Philippine-registered company or a PAGCOR-accredited Gaming System Administrator as their exclusive distributor instead of setting up a local office.
PAGCOR has warned that licensed operators using unaccredited service providers may face sanctions.
