Co-founder and CEO of LeoVegas Group, Gustaf Hagman, is celebrating 10 years since the company’s launch, and shared a series of images from its “nerve-wracking” launch night which depict the stress and excitement of the bold first step.

He says the photos are a “fair depiction of life as a budding entrepreneur: painkillers, long hours, and soft drinks alternated with champagne.”

Mr Hagman continues by sharing the story behind LeoVegas’ origins, saying that it started from a “simple idea” shared at a barbeque parti with Robin Ramm Ericson one summer evening.

From there, it progressed to a “fledgling start-up”, and now, “an international group with over 850+ employees and 24+ million signups worldwide since the inception”.

Mr Hagman shares that the Group successfully identified an untapped niche: the mobile casino, “and mobile first has been part of the Group’s DNA ever since.”

“I'm incredibly proud of everyone at LeoVegas Group - both veterans and newcomers - and all that we’ve achieved. Looking forward to many more years of being at the forefront of our industry and delivering the greatest gaming experience to our customers!”

The company is headquartered in Sweden, but also has a strong presence and staff complement in Malta.
