Playson has officially appointed Cosmin Tanase as its Head of Compliance after his successful interim leadership in that capacity. His appointment comes at a pivotal moment for the company, which has recently secured approval to operate in the Philippines and is currently pursuing licensing in Alberta.
Bringing over 20 years of legal expertise, including nearly four years in the iGaming sector, Cosmin has significantly influenced the compliance frameworks of several prominent gaming providers. Since joining Playson in 2024, he has been instrumental in ensuring continuity across various regulated markets, managing essential compliance-related activities.
During his interim period, Tanase achieved numerous key objectives, overseeing crucial certifications, game approvals, and regulatory submissions, as well as facilitating Playson’s entry into new markets like Alberta and the Philippines. He has also implemented improved monitoring processes and enhancements throughout critical operational areas.
His elevation to the permanent Head of Compliance position underscores his strong leadership capabilities and ownership mentality. With Playon's ongoing expansion into regulated markets, maintaining rigorous compliance protocols is vital for sustainable growth, and Tanase's role will be fundamental in guiding the company safely forward.
Vsevolod Lapin, Deputy CEO of Playson, remarked on Tanase's contributions, stating, "Cosmin has proven himself as a strong leader, taking the reins shortly after Playson received PAGCOR approval and helping to shape our Alberta market entry strategy. His permanent position as Head of Compliance reflects our trust and confidence in him as we endeavor to achieve sustainable growth in regulated global markets."
On his new role, Cosmin Tanase expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "I am pleased to take on the role of Head of Compliance on a permanent basis. The interim period has been hugely rewarding, allowing me to collaborate closely with colleagues across the business and contribute to important regulatory priorities. I look forward to building on this progress as Playson continues to grow across regulated markets."
