Strategic Appointment Supports Regional Expansion Efforts
QTech Games, a leading distributor of online casino games in emerging markets, has appointed Ekaterina Mayorova as its new Sales & Account Manager for Africa and Eastern Europe, reinforcing the company’s commitment to deepening its presence in high-potential, underserved iGaming markets.
With this move, QTech is aiming to strengthen relationships with operators and platforms across both regions, where mobile-first infrastructure and increasing internet penetration are fueling a new wave of iGaming growth. Mayorova brings a wealth of experience in fintech and esports verticals, having previously served in strategic roles at Trustly and PandaScore—where she focused on regional partnerships, digital payments, and client retention.
A Rising Talent to Drive Market Development
QTech Games CEO Philip Doftvik highlighted the significance of the hire:
“We’re delighted to now have Ekaterina at QTech Games where she has hit the ground running. Her extensive experience and network in our targeted territories is already serving us well, especially as we broaden our existing influence across Africa.”
Mayorova’s understanding of digital finance, coupled with esports ecosystem knowledge, is especially valuable as QTech seeks to localize its offerings and improve content relevance across diverse jurisdictions.
Africa and Eastern Europe: Growth Markets with Mobile-First Priorities
Africa, in particular, is central to QTech’s current roadmap. With countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and Tanzania witnessing rapid smartphone adoption and digital payment usage, the continent is fertile ground for mobile-optimized casino content.
QTech Games has actively pursued partnerships designed to fit the regional model, such as its January 2025 collaboration with Clawbuster, which introduced custom slot content tailored to mobile gameplay in low-bandwidth environments.
In Eastern Europe, regulation and licensing are becoming more defined, especially in nations like Romania and Ukraine, creating entry points for game aggregators with strong compliance infrastructure.
Looking Ahead: QTech Hybrid and SBWA+ 2025
The appointment comes ahead of QTech’s anticipated presence at SBWA+ 2025 (Sports Betting West Africa Plus) in Ghana this August, where the company will showcase QTech Hybrid—a new content aggregation platform aimed at enabling seamless integration for both local and international operators.
Mayorova noted her long-standing connection to African markets:
“Africa holds a special place in my career journey and I’m looking forward to deepening partnerships, driving growth and collaborating with forward-thinking operators and platforms in the region.”
QTech’s Vision: Localized Growth Through Aggregation and RNG
QTech’s strategy centers on leveraging its proprietary RNG platform, agile API integration, and curated partnerships to bring localized content to fast-growing regions. Alongside deals with Endorphina and Clawbuster, the company continues to scale its global distribution network with a particular emphasis on Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Africa.
With Mayorova on board, QTech is positioning itself as a top-tier aggregator for next-generation iGaming, prioritizing regional insight, scalable solutions, and culturally relevant content in underserved but high-opportunity markets.
