Playson names Cosmin Tanase Head of Compliance

Tanase moves from interim lead after supporting regulatory work tied to Alberta licensing and the Philippines approval.

Playson has appointed Cosmin Tanase as Head of Compliance, confirming him in the position after he led the function on an interim basis.

The supplier said Tanase took on the interim role following its Philippines market approval and during its ongoing licensing application in Alberta. According to the company, Tanase joined Playson in 2024 and has more than 20 years of legal experience, including almost four years in the iGaming industry.

Playson said Tanase oversaw certifications, game approvals and regulatory submissions, and supported new market entry work related to Alberta and the Philippines.

Vsevolod Lapin, Deputy CEO at Playson, said: “Cosmin has proven himself as a strong leader, taking the reins shortly after Playson received PAGCOR approval and helping to shape our Alberta market entry strategy. His permanent position in the role of Head of Compliance proves our trust and confidence in him as we continue to seek sustainable growth in regulated global markets.”

Cosmin Tanase, Head of Compliance at Playson, said: “I am pleased to take on the role of Head of Compliance on a permanent basis. The interim period has been hugely rewarding, giving me the opportunity to work closely with colleagues across the business and contribute to some important regulatory priorities. I look forward to building on this progress as Playson continues to grow across regulated markets.”
