A New Role for Jamie Hart at Conquer Technology
Jamie Hart Takes the Helm
Jamie Hart, a seasoned veteran in the betting industry, is now the head of gambling at Conquer Technology. Hart brings a wealth of experience to the table, having previously served as an executive director at Tabcorp and as a director of innovation at William Hill. His journey to Conquer Technology began after meeting the company's Chief Commercial Officer, David Carter, during an innovation competition at William Hill.
Fostering Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology is a firm dedicated to small-scale technical innovation in the gambling sector. As a full-service development studio, it provides operators with the tools and expertise required to navigate complex gambling regulations and KYC (Know Your Customer) protocols. The company also assists in the development of new betting products and bet types.
The goal is to grant operators the freedom to experiment and innovate without bearing the financial and operational burdens that often accompany in-house development. This focus on innovation allows Conquer Technology to stand out in an industry where many companies struggle to balance creativity with regulatory compliance.
Addressing Industry Challenges
Jamie Hart is acutely aware of the numerous challenges facing the gambling industry. Operators often find it difficult to experiment and test new ideas due to bureaucratic delays and escalating costs. Managing projects within gambling companies has become increasingly complex, involving more people now than it did 20 years ago.
Conquer Technology offers a viable alternative by streamlining the process through outsourcing. Hart believes that outsourcing efforts to Conquer Technology can be both quicker and cheaper compared to handling everything in-house. By simplifying the operational landscape for operators, the company aims to make innovation more accessible and less burdensome.
A Vision for the Future
In his new role, Hart is eager to tackle broader challenges beyond just the innovation of the Tote’s product. The Tote, traditionally known for parimutuel betting, has long struggled with innovation. However, Hart sees his position at Conquer Technology as an opportunity to implement his vision for the wider gambling industry. The launch of the gambling division at Conquer Technology is a significant step for both the company and the industry at large.
Conquer Technology's mission is to empower operators to adapt to changing regulatory landscapes while pushing the boundaries of innovation in gambling. All eyes will be on Hart and his team as they execute their ambitious plans to reshape the industry.
