The Leaders Track at SBC Summit Barcelona<\/strong> featured a keynote presentation by DAZN<\/strong> Chief Executive Shay Segev<\/strong>, who will lead the industry’s next evolution in the convergence of gambling, sports and media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Segev, former CEO of FTSE 100-listed Entain Plc<\/strong>, made global headlines at the beginning of the year when he joined DAZN, Sir Leo Blavatnik’s<\/strong> OTT sports media<\/strong> group that was recapitalized with $4.3 billion after the COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he took the stage, Segev declared that DAZN is not a gambling company and that he has no intention of seeing it become another gambling operator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Segev said: \u00abI accepted this offer from SBC to speak on the convergence of gambling, that is happening. If anybody doubts this, I\u2019m living proof that it is happening right now\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Segev recalled that the merger of Playtech and Entertain and the expansion of the business changed his career for the past 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Segev, who pioneered the development of Playtech technology, successfully transformed Playtech from the only B2B casino provider to a complete online gambling platform and leading IMS provider, witnessing the first evolution of the online gambling sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on how Playtech has disrupted the online gambling value chain, the CEO of DAZN stressed that he recognizes the hidden importance of convergence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added: \u00abI have looked back at my career, and I believe that success has come from finding ways to improve customer experiences by removing friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAZN is another example of a company trying to do this. We want to make sports experiences seamless for the consumer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year and a half ago, I was approached by DAZN, a media company looking to disrupt sports. I was taken by the opportunity to bring a seamless and transformative experiences to a new generation of audiences\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, the DAZN OTT platform showed more than 27,000 live sports events, making it the leading sports broadcaster in the Italian, Spanish, German and Japanese markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the expansion of OTT, DAZN is now present in 250 countries and Segev will lead the next business evolution through multi-convergence of products and services using gamification, sports data and web 3.0 innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Segev concluded that sports betting is only one element of DAZN’s ambition to become the most innovative platform for sports.
