Dominic Mansour, Chief Executive Officer of Bragg Gaming expressed his content with the new additions to the company. They are projected to propel the development of leading brands to the likes of Oryx Gaming, GiveMeSport, and GiveMeBet. It could be recalled that December saw the official rebranding of Breaking Data Group to Bragg Gaming Group.
