A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart has embarked on an exciting new chapter in his career, taking on the role of head of gambling at Conquer Technology. Jamie brings with him a wealth of experience, having previously served as an executive director at Tabcorp and a director of innovation at William Hill. His journey with Conquer Technology began after meeting the company's Chief Commercial Officer, David Carter, during an innovation competition at William Hill.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology has carved out a niche in the industry by focusing on small-scale technical innovation. As a full-service development studio, the company supports firms in navigating the complex landscape of gambling regulation, Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, and in developing new betting products and bet types. Their mission is to provide operators with the freedom to experiment and innovate, unencumbered by the financial and operational burdens that typically accompany such endeavors.
Challenges and Opportunities
Hart is acutely aware of the challenges that the industry faces. One of the primary issues is that operators often struggle to experiment and test new things due to the cumbersome nature of in-house operations. This can result in bureaucratic delays and increased costs. By outsourcing to Conquer Technology, operators can potentially reduce both time and expense.
Managing projects within gambling companies has become increasingly complex, involving far more stakeholders than it did two decades ago. Conquer Technology aims to simplify this operational landscape for operators, making it easier for them to manage projects and innovate.
A Vision for the Future
Hart's vision extends beyond the immediate challenges of the industry. While innovation in the Tote’s product has been particularly challenging, his new role at Conquer Technology offers a broader scope to implement his ambitious vision for the gambling industry. The company aims to help firms adapt to the ever-changing regulatory environment and push the boundaries of innovation in gambling.
The launch of the gambling division is a significant step not just for Conquer Technology but for the entire industry. All eyes will be on Hart and his team as they roll out their plans and demonstrate the unique value they can bring to the table.

Jamie Hart's transition to Conquer Technology marks a pivotal moment in his career and a promising development for the gambling industry.
