Anders Ström appointed as Chair of the Board of Kambi Group plc as Lars Stugemo stands down as Chair
Kambi Group plc’s (Kambi) long-serving Chair of the Board (Chair), Lars Stugemo has notified the Nomination Committee that he does not intend to seek re-election at the Kambi Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2024 and has therefore decided to step down. The Nomination Committee has decided to propose Kambi co-founder Anders Ström be appointed as Chair at the Kambi AGM 2024.
The Board of Directors of Kambi appointed Ström as Chair with immediate effect until the AGM 2024, as Stugemo informed the Board that he wished to step down.
Stugemo will leave the Board with immediate effect and continue to serve as a member of the Nomination Committee nominated by Kambi’s largest shareholder Veralda Investment Ltd.
Stugemo said: “After 14 years of an inspiring journey with Kambi, including almost a decade as Chair, I have decided, after careful consideration, not to stand for re-election next year. It became clear that I should, if possible, promptly pass the leadership to someone else. In this case, both I and Kambi are fortunate that Kambi’s co-founder Anders Ström is also a member of the Board and is ready to immediately take over as Chair.
“The Kambi journey has been remarkable, from early days serving a handful of partners to becoming a market leader with award-winning products and esteemed clients around the world. It has been an immense privilege and joy to work closely and intensively with Kambi, alongside an inspiring entrepreneur like Anders Ström.”
Ström brings vast industry experience to the role as Chair, having founded Kindred Group in 1997 and then later co-founding Kambi alongside CEO Kristian Nylén in 2010. Ström has also been a Kambi Board member since its formation.
Ström said: “Lars has made many important contributions to Kambi’s development to becoming the world’s leading sportsbook provider and, as both a founder and shareholder, I am very grateful for the journey we have undertaken together and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.”
“I am honoured to have been asked by Kambi’s Board to become its Chair and look forward to leading the Board of a company which is showing real commercial momentum through recent partner signings and redefining what is possible in sports betting through significant technological breakthroughs including AI-powered trading. These achievements not only strengthen our position but also boost morale and drive within the company, paving the way for future successes and growth,” Ström added.
As a current member of the Nomination Committee and the Board of Directors, Ström did not participate in the deliberations and subsequent decision regarding his nomination and appointment.

ICE Barcelona: Spintec makes waves with a lineup of fantastic new products
Spintec’s show at this year’s ICE was full of pleasant surprises and fun experiences. They showcased their latest achievements in cooperation with their strategic partner Merkur within a booth that was spreading across 2,500 m2 and was one of the largest at the show.
Their new oval and eye shaped variations of their flagship Charisma made the largest splash. These sleek designs are extremely attractive and offer an unobstructed view of the wheel to all ten or twelve players. They are also immersive and fun with two additional large monitors showing bets placed by all ten or twelve players in real time. Isn’t it fun to see what everyone is betting on and which numbers are most popular? The oval and eye shaped Charisma also feature a particularly impressive bespoke topper with real-time game statistics and promotion, inviting players to join the excitement from across the casino floor.
Visitors at Spintec’s booth also enjoyed the fun of the new, fully GLI certified flagship game called Galactic Spin. It is designed to enhance and deepen the engagement in the game and offers the possibility of large payouts on top of the normal roulette hold. And the best part? The game offers three additional draws with bet multipliers, three tiers of Jackpots, and super fun free spins. These take place after the bets are closed, making the tension-filled pause before the ball drops the most thrilling part of the game.
Spintec’s new Craps extension to the Charisma line was one of the greatest showstoppers at their booth this year. Apart from the proprietary solution that prevents dice from landing on top of each other, the game now also includes a fun new shoot button. This is a great game feature where the shooter is selected clockwise among play stations or following live game rules, continuing until a 7-out or point is hit. The players enjoy this feature immensely and their engagement with the game skyrockets when they are selected as the shooter. The solution comes complete with a vibrant animated topper and LED lighting and can be adapted to four, six or eight play stations.
Spintec also created an exciting casino atmosphere right at the show with a live tournament featuring several different games, including Galactic spin and live roulette. The Charisma line, arranged in an amphitheatre setup like that, can feature live, automated, and virtual games, accommodating over 200 players with a full selection of games and endless entertainment.
Spintec’s flagship Charisma solution with five playing stations is as adaptive as they come and can feature a host of different games. It was possible to experience a virtual Blackjack solution at the show, but also a fantastic new addition: the virtual Baccarat.
And finally, Spintec garnered a lot of interest with their latest set of Charisma stand-alone virtual machines for individual players. These can be used in a single or multigame setting, where the player can choose the game they want to participate in from a wide selection of virtual, automated or live games. This makes it one of Spintec’s most versatile products, which now comes in four different attractive formats. The games are played on the touch screen with an intuitive interface, while the player can immerse themselves in the games with the help of additional single 43” monitor, or a combination of one, two or even three 27” ones.
