Scientific Games Expands Global Sports Betting Leadership with Azerbaijan National Lottery Sports Kickoff
Scientific Games Corporation has launched large-scale retail and digital sports betting and lottery operations in Azerbaijan. The national lottery, Azerlotereya, launched sports betting in mid-January with Scientific Games’ technology as part of a 10-year agreement for the exclusive supply of retail and digital lottery instant games, draw games, sports and an omni-channel lottery gaming system.
The Azerbaijan sports launch expands Scientific Games’ global leadership in sports betting and its ongoing, successful partnership with Demirören, the operator of the national lottery, Azerloterya.
“In Azerbaijan, we sought a proven, scalable solution for both retail and online betting. Our partnership with Scientific Games has had great success in other large markets, and together we are offering a modern experience for bettors that will deliver strong results to the government of Azerbaijan,” Sinan Oktay, Board Member of Demirören Holding, said.
The national lottery was founded in 2001 under the Ministry of Economy of Azerbaijan. With a population of 10 million, the Eurasian nation has deep roots in sports, including a strong history of hosting important events such as the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Baku and four high-profile matches in the recent European Football Championship.
“Congratulations to all involved with the success of the national lottery in Azerbaijan and the new sports betting launch. We appreciate the vision and trust Demirören has in our lottery expertise, systems technologies and ability to serve a large, multi-channel lottery market. We believe that Scientific Games offers a powerful sports betting solution that is tailored for government lotteries requiring a large-scale retail and digital betting program,” Pat McHugh, Chief Executive Officer for Scientific Games Lottery, said.

Reading Time: 2 minutes
One of betting and gaming’s best-known customer acquisition and comparison businesses, Quantum, has announced the next steps in its ambitious growth plan by welcoming two new director-level appointees.
Joining the business are Dimitris Papamichael as commercial director and Luke Watkin as marketing director – both in newly created roles. They come in alongside a full C-suite and a full team of new tech hires that continues a recruitment drive which began in 2023 – and reflects Quantum’s rapid and consistent growth throughout the last five years.
Papamichael will be responsible for all revenue-generating activities across the business in a pivotal leadership role. He’ll shape Quantum’s commercial strategy as the company diversifies into new verticals while maintaining its strong position in the iGaming sector. He’ll also lead an expanding team of commercial and sales managers.
Watkin will lead the development and execution of the marketing strategy across all business verticals. As marketing director, he’ll be instrumental in shaping Quantum’s marketing vision, building scalable systems, and delivering commercial impact as it expands into new markets. Watkin will build and mentor a high-performing marketing team and is also tasked with driving further recruitment.
Speaking of the appointments and new strategic direction, CMO James McCarthy said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome Dimitris and Luke to Quantum during what is undoubtedly a really fascinating time in our growth. From cementing our relationship with some of iGaming’s biggest names to helping us expand into exciting new sectors, both of our new Directors will be integral to the continued success of the business.”
Papamichael said: “I’m thrilled to be joining Quantum at such an exciting stage of its incredible growth journey. The company has already achieved so much, and there’s huge potential ahead as we expand into new markets and sectors. I can’t wait to work with the exceptionally talented team here to seize the many opportunities ahead and drive the next phase of growth.”
Watkin said: “I am delighted to join a business with such a proven track record of excellence in its core markets, as well as highly ambitious plans for strategic expansion into new markets and territories. I am looking forward to contributing towards building on the exceptional progress the team has made to date, and accelerating that growth in the years ahead.”
