New Leadership to Drive Product Strategy
EveryMatrix has named Kevin Furlong as its new Chief Product Officer, entrusting him with the task of overseeing product strategy across all divisions. Furlong will be responsible for leading the design, implementation, and development of the company’s product range, which includes modular solutions for casino, sports, platform, affiliate, and payment services.

Furlong outlined his goals for the role, stating: “My role is to bring all our products together to give our customers and their players the best possible experience. We already do this in so many ways, but we know we can do so much more with the proprietary technology, knowledge and expertise we have at our disposal within the Group.”
Recent Strategic Developments
EveryMatrix’s efforts to expand its content offering have been reinforced by recent moves, including the announcement of a public offer to acquire Swedish online casino developer Fantasma Games for SEK 209.8 million ($19.7 million). The acquisition reflects EveryMatrix’s broader strategy to enhance its portfolio, with a 21.4% premium on Fantasma’s share price.
In addition, EveryMatrix extended its partnership with game studio Peter & Sons, further bolstering its CasinoEngine platform with new, diverse content.
