A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart has embarked on a significant career shift, stepping into the role of Head of Gambling at Conquer Technology. His extensive experience in the gambling sector, including his previous positions as an Executive Director at Tabcorp and Director of Innovation at William Hill, has prepared him well for this crucial position. Hart's journey to this role began when he connected with Conquer Technology CCO David Carter during an innovation competition at William Hill, marking the start of a promising collaboration.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology has built its reputation on a commitment to small-scale technical innovation. As a full-service development studio, the company specializes in assisting firms with navigating gambling regulations, adhering to KYC (Know Your Customer) protocols, and developing new betting products and bet types. Their mission is to enable operators to experiment and innovate without the financial and operational burdens that typically hinder such efforts.
Challenges and Opportunities in the Industry
Hart is well aware of the challenges the gambling industry faces, especially when it comes to experimentation and testing. Operators often find it difficult to maneuver through bureaucratic delays and inflated costs when managing projects in-house. This complexity is exacerbated by the increasing number of people involved in projects compared to two decades ago. By offering outsourcing alternatives, Conquer Technology aims to provide a faster and more cost-effective solution.
Regarding the industry's intricacies, Hart said, "Integration is typically the biggest issue for betting companies, and that will be our number one target." He emphasized the efficiency Conquer Technology can offer, adding, "It might be quicker and cheaper to do those with us than in-house."
A Vision for the Future
Hart's vision for the future extends beyond merely addressing the challenges of the Tote's product, which has been particularly difficult to innovate. His new role at Conquer Technology offers him a broader scope to implement his vision for the gambling industry. The launch of Conquer Technology's gambling division is not just a milestone for the company but also for the industry as a whole. Hart aims to enable firms to adapt to evolving regulatory landscapes and push the boundaries of innovation in gambling.
The future holds substantial promise under Hart's leadership as he and his team at Conquer Technology work to simplify the operational landscape for operators and foster an environment conducive to innovation. "There certainly seems to be a lot more people involved in projects now than there were 20 years ago. I'm hoping we can provide a unique outsourcing model," Hart expressed. His strategic vision and commitment to improving integration processes will be instrumental in the company's efforts to empower operators and redefine the gambling industry.
In reflecting on his aspirations for the industry, Hart stated, "There’s a lot more I want to do and change in gambling, and the Tote’s product was difficult to innovate." His role at Conquer Technology allows him the latitude to address these challenges head-on. All eyes will be on Hart and his team as they execute their ambitious plans, aiming to create a more dynamic and innovative gambling industry.
