Real Luck Group names former Mr Green CEO Wänghammar to board

Wänghammar has held senior roles in the igaming industry throughout his career, including spells as managing director of casino at Pokerstars and CEO of Mr Green. He replaces Mike Stevens in the role.

Wänghammar joins fellow directors chairman Drew Green, CEO Thomas Rosander, Lloyd Melnick and Maruf Raza on the Real Luck Group Board, following Stevens’ resignation to focus on his family and charity work.

Rosander said: “I am thrilled a seasoned operator such as Bo will be joining our board. This is an exciting stage for the company as we look to scale our user acquisition efforts and revenues and I believe his experience and guidance will be invaluable to Real Luck’s growth strategy.

“His track record speaks for itself, as during his time as director of casino at PokerStars, he oversaw the doubling of revenues to more than $500m, growing the casino vertical to outperform the core poker offering.

“During Mr Wänghammar’s time at Mr Green, the business grew quickly and achieved strong profitability and we believe he was instrumental in refactoring the technical infrastructure to launch a portfolio of award-winning products.”

Real Luck also recently appointed Benn Timbury as the company’s new chief operating officer at the beginning of the month.
