Former GiG Senior Legal Counsel and Sportingtech Head of Legal joins as the group expands across regulated markets.

LCKY Group has appointed Neil Chetcuti as General Counsel, tasking him with leading the company’s legal function as it continues to grow across regulated iGaming markets in Europe and North America.

As a company that’s always on the lookout for new opportunities to expand in regulated markets, we need a legal function that’s capable of supporting these ambitions, and with Neil driving our strategy, I’m sure we’ll be in very good hands moving forward.”
