Quantum Gaming welcomes Phillip Pistauer as COO

Quantum Gaming, a leading provider of innovative technology solutions for the iGaming industry, has announced the appointment of Phillip Pistauer as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO). Phillip joins the executive board, which includes CEO Oliver De Bono, and Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) Soteris Varnava. Together, this dynamic leadership team is poised to drive Quantum Gaming’s vision of redefining the iGaming landscape.

Phillip Pistauer’s journey in the iGaming industry began in 2013, with a trial-by-fire experience launching a brand on the EveryMatrix platform. This early challenge required him to learn the intricacies of the industry quickly and sparked his passion for the field. Recognising the immense opportunities in iGaming, Phillip strategically relocated to Malta where he joined NetEnt during its commercial expansion. Starting as an Account Manager, he was quickly promoted to Key Account Manager, solidifying his expertise in managing platform providers and building relationships with B2C operators.

Seeking to leverage his operational experience, Phillip transitioned to White Hat Gaming, where he served as Head of Account Management. He successfully established a highly professional B2B Account Management function, supporting multiple white-label brands across licenses from the UKGC, MGA, and Spelinspektionen.

In 2020, Phillip joined Singular, a Georgia-based company renowned for its advanced platform technology. Initially appointed as Head of Account Management, he later transitioned to Head of Platform following Singular’s acquisition by Flutter International. In this role, Phillip oversaw critical systems, including the Casino Aggregation platform, CORE System, PAM, Payments, and front-end solutions. During his tenure, Singular doubled in size and fully integrated into Flutter’s portfolio, which includes globally recognised brands such as PokerStars, PaddyPower, Betfair, FanDuel, and Sisal.

As part of Singular’s growth strategy, Phillip assumed the role of Head of Product in March 2024, further solidifying his reputation as a forward-thinking leader in iGaming. His extensive experience in platform innovation, product development, and global operations positions him as a valuable addition to the Quantum Gaming leadership team.

Quantum Gaming ready to redefine iGaming technology

Oliver De Bono, CEO of Quantum Gaming, shared his enthusiasm for Phillip joining the team,“Phillip has a rare mix of operational expertise and vision for innovation. He’s been through every level of this industry, and it shows in the way he approaches challenges. We’re thrilled to have him on board as we gear up for some big moves this year.”

Quantum Gaming continues to stand out in the iGaming sector by lowering barriers to entry and providing innovative solutions such as its multi-tenant instance, which enables operators to scale their brands seamlessly. The platform’s advanced bonus and loyalty engines empower operators to deliver highly personalised player experiences.

Among several exciting initiatives within the company, Quantum Gaming is also working on integrating AI-driven solutions to further enhance customer experience and operational efficiency. This AI project, along with others, reflects the company’s commitment to staying ahead of industry trends.

In addition to Phillip’s appointment, Quantum Gaming is expanding its leadership team further with the upcoming addition of a Head of Affiliation, Head of QA, Head of Finance, and Head of Sales. These new roles reflect the company’s commitment to strengthening its operations and building a robust foundation for future growth.

Soteris Varnava, CRO, added, “Having Phillip on the team gives us an incredible advantage. He brings a fresh perspective and a proven ability to get things done. With the new leadership hires we’re making, 2025 is shaping up to be a transformative year for Quantum Gaming.”

With its experienced leadership team, innovative platform, and a clear vision for the future, Quantum Gaming is ready to redefine iGaming technology and expand its global footprint in 2025 and beyond.
