Tonnesen joined Bragg in March 2026, after working as chief growth officer at marketing software provider Xtremepush, and brings more than 17 years of experience in B2C and B2B iGaming, sports betting, and technology. He previously spent around 3 years as chief commercial officer at Shape Games, which was later sold to Kambi, co-founded and ran sports betting operator BetWarrior before exiting the business, and spent 6 years at PokerStars, where he rose to director of group marketing.
Morten Tonnesen, Interim CEO of Bragg Gaming Group, commented:
“The quality of what is already here is what makes this a fantastic opportunity. Strong technology, growing proprietary content, and a licensed footprint across more than 30 regulated markets. My focus is execution, delivering for our operator partners and running a simpler and more focused business.”
Matt Davey, Chair of Bragg Gaming Group, added:
“The board’s focus for the next phase is on disciplined execution, improving balance sheet strength, operating cash flow, and development and deployment of market-leading technology, content and services. Morten has the operational experience to deliver against those tests, and the Board has full confidence in him.”
He takes over as Matevž Mazij stepped down as Bragg Gaming CEO after serving in the role since August 2023 and has moved into a strategic advisor role with no day-to-day management responsibilities, ahead of the company’s third-quarter results on November 13.
