Digitain Appoints Former Sportradar SVP Dario Jurcic as CCO for Europe and Africa

Digitain, the Armenia-headquartered sportsbook and iGaming technology provider, has appointed Dario Jurcic as Chief Commercial Officer for Europe and Africa. Jurcic joins from Sportradar, where he spent almost ten years in various leadership roles including most recently as Senior Vice President of iGaming and Platforms. He was also CEO of Nsoft, the iGaming division within the Sportradar ecosystem. The appointment was announced in conjunction with iGB L!VE 2026 and reflects Digitain's stated ambition to become the dominant technology partner across Europe's regulated markets while building a presence across key African jurisdictions.

Jurcic's Background and Mandate

Jurcic brings more than ten years of executive leadership experience in commercial strategy, platform development, market expansion and business transformation. Industry peers recognized him as one of Central and Eastern Europe's leading CEOs in 2025. Prior to Sportradar, he held senior finance roles at Addiko Bank and Mostar, part of Austria's Hypo Alpe-Adria banking group. At Digitain, his mandate covers leading the company's commercial strategy across Europe and Africa, strengthening existing operator partnerships and identifying new business in regulated markets. He will also oversee commercial operations at Digitain's European hubs in Malta, Romania and the UK, alongside a new Central European office currently in the planning phase.

"I have focused on building scalable platform businesses and helping operators succeed in highly competitive regulated markets. I see a strong opportunity to further strengthen Digitain's position across Europe while supporting its expansion throughout Africa." - Dario Jurcic, CCO Europe and Africa, Digitain

Digitain's Recent Regulatory Progress

The appointment builds on a significant run of regulatory milestones for Digitain in 2026. In February 2026, the company obtained a UKGC betting licence and secured sportsbook and platform certification, enabling it to compete directly in the UK regulated market. Earlier in the year, Digitain also secured iGaming approval in Denmark and received two licences in Bulgaria. The company describes its Centrivo iGaming Platform and Sportsbook as a one-stop-shop solution covering platform, payments, virtual sports and engagement tools, designed to help operators manage multiple verticals through a single technology stack.

Africa as a Strategic Priority

Alongside its European ambitions, Digitain is actively pursuing growth in African markets including Malawi, Zambia, Kenya and South Africa. Africa's iGaming sector has attracted growing operator and technology investment driven by rising internet penetration, expanding mobile connectivity and increasing adoption of digital payment systems. Jurcic is expected to lead the commercial identification of new partner relationships across these markets, adapting Digitain's platform solutions to local regulatory requirements and player preferences.
