“Evolution Gaming operates a very tight ship, and the cooperation of chief operating officer Svante Liljevall and the technical and operational staff in Riga was outstanding,” Muirhead wrote in his report to the Independent Directors controlling the issue of eCOGRA seals.
Andrew Beveridge, CEO of eCOGRA, said: “eCOGRA has reached a stage now that we can offer top professional people like Louise an exciting opportunity to advance themselves both professionally and personally.”
Beveridge said that an added advantage for the compliance team was working closely with eCOGRA’s Independent Directors, who are respected senior executives with wide gaming industry and business experience.
