maltatoday, SUNDAY, 29 MAY 2016 IV Gaming in Malta Why have you added Leo- Vegas Sport? The addition of LeoVegas Sport to our mobile gaming platform means that custom- ers are now also able to bet on their favourite sport, be it football, horse racing, golf, cricket, or basketball. The new vertical was rolled out across several markets. Furthermore, we also feel that LeoVegas Sport was the next logical step for us to cater better for our customers. We can now offer our new and existing customers the ability to use LeoVegas for all of their betting needs. You're a mobile-first com- pany. Have you adopted the same approach for LeoVe- gas Sport? Yes, we believe that mobiles are playing an ever growing role in the overall sport experi- ence. What we've decided to do is to truly offer a seam- less integration between our existing casino-based prod- ucts and the new sportsbook capability. Moreover, we are truly committed to provide the ultimate mobile gaming ex- perience and so we're taking mobile sports betting to the next level. What I really wish to high- light is that thanks to our mobile-first approach, our sportsbook beats any other competitor out there in terms of navigation and speed. A study conducted to test this found that LeoVegas Sport thumps the loading speed and transactional time of any other competitor by a significant advantage. We all know that speed is key in today's world, more so when it comes to the thrill of real-time sports betting as things unfold live during a match. Any special cam- paigns for the launch of LeoVegas Sport? Yes, we have a full array of campaigns that vary from market to market. In Malta, we will be celebrating the launch of LeoVegas Sport by hosting a LeoVegas Euro 2016 Village at Naar Resto- Bar at Balluta Bay in St. Julian's where we will show all the live games of the 2016 UEFA European Championship on a massive screen. What careers do you offer at LeoVe- gas? LeoVegas has a strong team of around 280 people at our offices in Malta and Sweden. The work- ing environment at LeoVegas reflects the fact that we are a young, entertainment com- pany - the average age is less than 30 years. Our office offers a professional work- ing environment where you are able to sense the fun and friendly culture that we adopt with one another and with our customers. To accomplish our vision of creating the greatest gaming experience and be the number one in mobile gaming, we re- quire a team of great people, all with their respective areas of expertise. At the moment we have more than 20 open vacancies in Malta alone. One of the positions that really stand out is the Head of Customer Support to lead our great team leaders, sup- port- and responsible gaming agents. This role requires someone who loves helping people and believes, like we do, that amazing customer service is the key to the suc- cess of our business. If, on the other hand, your dream is to play casino games during of- fice hours, then you should re- ally look at the Casino Games Specialist role. A few other positions that stand out are the affiliate manager, the CRM manager, the VIP manager and the sportsbook specialist for the UK market. Joining the winning team at LeoVegas is really a step forward in your career. An independent survey carried out recently found that 92% of those working at LeoVegas would willingly recommend a career at LeoVegas to their family and friends. One of the reasons for this stems from the fact that we offer a lot of training, development and ca- reer progression opportunities.
