Playtech Appoints Dr. Armin Sageder as CEO of Newly Formed Sports Division Playtech BGT Sports
Playtech has designated Dr. Armin Sageder as Chief Executive Officer of its recently established sports unit, Playtech BGT Sports. This influential division merges several of Playtech’s acquisitions, encompassing recognized brands such as BGT, Geneity, Mobenga, and Unilogic. Employing over 600 individuals across strategic hubs like Nicosia, Malmö, Vienna, London, Bremen, and Sofia, Playtech BGT Sports is poised to make a significant impact on the sector.
Dr. Sageder, reporting directly to Playtech’s Chief Executive, Mor Weizer, is a seasoned professional in the realm of gaming and technology.

Enthusiastic about this new venture, Dr. Sageder highlighted the exceptional prospect of blending BGT’s celebrated team synergy with the extensive knowledge base of Playtech’s talent pool. He envisions Playtech BGT Sports evolving into a leading force within the market, delivering advantages to both their clientele and end users.
His outlook encompasses ongoing investments in their platforms, offerings, and services, all aimed at enriching the wagering experience for consumers and optimizing value for their licensees.
Committed to equipping operators with the unparalleled knowledge and tools they anticipate from Playtech and BGT. Our aim is to empower them with the means to differentiate themselves and reach their objectives.”
Weizer continued, “Delighted that Armin has embraced this position. His guidance, combined with our exceptional team, assures me we will elevate our sports offerings.”
