DeGaming, a provider of iGaming solutions in the Web3 space, has appointed Édi Varela as its new Commercial Director. This strategic move comes as the company focuses on expanding its commercial reach after a successful rebranding effort.
With over ten years of experience in iGaming, payments, and commercial account management, Varela has held significant positions at leading providers such as Kaizen Gaming, Gamingtec, and Sportingtech. Most recently, he served as the Head of Sales at OpenTag, a platform provider for iGaming and sports betting.
Varela's entry into DeGaming is pivotal as the company aims to leverage its innovative technology and new brand identity for broader market penetration. At the heart of DeGaming’s approach is the 'Truth Beats Trust' philosophy, which aims to replace the industry's conventional Black Box model with its proprietary 'Glass Vault'. This feature eliminates hidden mechanics and offers real-time proof of funds, enhancing visibility for platform users.
Additionally, DeGaming’s Bankroll-as-a-Service function addresses the capital barrier by providing operators with scalable liquidity and transparent payout options, visible on chain. Together, these solutions allow operators to create transparent and sustainable platforms.
With Varela on board, DeGaming is set to enhance its appeal to both Web3 operators and traditional Web2 brands seeking to transition into the evolving digital space.
Ulle Skottling, CEO of DeGaming, highlighted the significance of this hiring: "Édi joins us at an important turning point in DeGaming’s development. We have built the technology and established our clear position in the market. The next step is to accelerate adoption and bring our product to more operators. Édi’s experience across many areas of the industry gives him a uniquely broad perspective on what our customers need. He understands the commercial realities but also sees where the market is heading. He will play a crucial role in taking our ‘Truth Beats Trust’ philosophy from a brand statement into our commercial relationships."
In response, Édi Varela expressed enthusiasm for his new role, stating: "DeGaming is addressing a problem I have seen throughout my career in iGaming. There is a significant gap between what the industry asks people to trust and what they can actually see with their own eyes. I’m excited to lead a team of tenured professionals as we partner with new clients and ensure the post-sales journey fosters strong commercial results for them.
