Online slot game provider, Videoslots, has named seasoned iGaming professional, Anna Komemi, as their Chief Operating Officer.
Komemi joins Videoslots with almost twenty years of experience in the online gaming sector, having held senior positions at well-known organizations such as Ladbrokes, Playtech, and Aspire Global. Her professional path, beginning in 2007, has taken her internationally, with periods in Israel, Bulgaria, and the Philippines. She most recently served as CEO and Managing Director at Marketplay, where she was instrumental in establishing the white-label casino company in Malta and steering its overall triumph and expansion.
“We are delighted to have Anna join Videoslots,” shared Ulle Skottling, Deputy CEO at Videoslots. “Her enthusiasm for and commitment to the industry is genuinely remarkable. She has made a substantial contribution over the past two decades, and we have no doubt that she will be an invaluable resource to our team as we plan for 2024 and the future.”
Komemi remarked, “I am eager to join the Videoslots team and contribute to the company reaching its maximum potential. The company possesses a talented group of industry specialists with a wealth of knowledge and expertise, and I am certain that we will accomplish our goals as we enter the new year.”
This key appointment comes on the heels of the Swedish Gambling Authority’s recent decision to award Videoslots a five-year license renewal, permitting the operator to maintain its operations in the regulated Swedish market until the end of 2028.
Online gaming platform Videoslots, headquartered in Sweden and in operation since 2019, has encountered some legal hurdles. Known for their primary brand and the more recent addition, Mr. Vegas, the company was slapped with a significant penalty of approximately $810,000 by Swedish regulators. The issue stemmed from insufficient rigor in adhering to anti-money laundering regulations, essentially failing to adequately monitor customer activities and triggering alarms. This wasn’t an isolated incident for the company. Previously in 2023, they faced a settlement of about $2.5 million with the UK Gambling Commission for shortcomings related to social responsibility and, unsurprisingly, anti-money laundering practices.
