Playson has appointed Cosmin Tanase as its Head of Compliance after his successful interim role in the position. His leadership comes at a pivotal time for the company as it navigates its recent approval to operate in the Philippines and pursues licensing in Alberta. Tanase brings over 20 years of legal expertise, including nearly four years within the iGaming sector, where he has been instrumental in developing compliance strategies for major industry players.
Since joining Playson in 2024, Tanase has been a key figure in maintaining the company's operations across various regulated markets, overseeing essential compliance activities. He has achieved critical milestones, including managing certifications, game approvals, and various regulatory submissions, while also aiding Playson in its market expansions into Alberta and the Philippines. Furthermore, he has enhanced monitoring processes and driven operational improvements in several crucial areas.
His promotion to a permanent position underscores his effective leadership and ownership skills in compliance matters. As Playson aims to broaden its presence in regulated markets, robust compliance is vital for sustainable growth, and Tanase will be central in facilitating that progression.
Vsevolod Lapin, Deputy CEO at Playson, remarked, "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 appointment as Head of Compliance reflects our trust and confidence as we seek sustainable growth in global regulated markets."
Tanase expressed his enthusiasm for his new role: "I am pleased to take on the position of Head of Compliance on a permanent basis. The interim period has been hugely rewarding, allowing me to collaborate closely with colleagues and contribute to important regulatory priorities. I look forward to building on this progress as Playson continues to expand across regulated markets."
