Marc Burroughes has been announced as the new Chief Commercial Officer of EveryMatrix’s Casino division. The segment is driven by EveryMatrix’s CasinoEngine product.
Burroughes began his career in 1998, with his first gaming industry role coming a decade later, when he was brought on as a Sales Account Manager at OpenBet. Over the course of almost 10 years, Burroughes developed his position within the company, becoming the Commercial Director, Gaming in 2011 and finally Client Director, Enterprise Accounts in 2015 – a role he held for just shy of three years.
Following this, Burroughes spent close to two years with Light & Wonder as its Commercial Director. He then spent a year in a similar role with Genesis, before taking on his first C-Level role, acting as Chief Commercial Officer at GameScorekeeper. After a short period with FSB, Burroughes joined IGT PlayDigital as its Senior Commerical Director, Aggregation, staying for two years before taking on this latest role.
As Chief Commercial Officer of the Casino division, Burroughes will report directly to Casino CEO Stian Enger. His role will include creating CasinoEngine’s commercial strategy, delivering to new and existing clients and working with other divisions within the EveryMatrix group.

On his appointment, EveryMatrix Group CEO and Co-Founder Ebbe Groes said: “Marc has a strong track record working in senior positions for some of the industry’s major providers and delivering premium casino solutions for tier-1 brands.
“As we continue to grow at pace, and as our casino business unit goes from strength-tostrength, we’re looking to accelerate this even further in the months and years ahead under Marc’s commercial leadership.”
Burroughes added: “When the opportunity came to join EveryMatrix on their journey to rapid growth there was only one answer I could give.
“The group’s casino division is among the best I’ve seen in my 17 years in the industry and it still has room to significantly grow. I want to maximise all the opportunities we’ve identified and I’m confident we can achieve some big targets.”
