The people overseeing this new company are also important for its success.
The years of experience have provided their lessons and the results are clear. The new company will have a new Chief Executive Officer ā Scott Burton. Mr. Eghdami will continue his work in the structure of the new company in his role of President. As a result of the new arrangement, Askott Entertainment shareholders are going to 1.9193 shares of FansUnite for each share held at closing.
It could be recalled that earlier this summer, Askott Entertainmentās Chameleon Gaming platform oriented towards businesses m was shortlisted for the 2020 EGR B2B Awards for Esports Betting Supplier of the Year.
