Betting technology and content provider OpenBet has appointed Nikos Konstakis as its new CEO, a position he will take on by the end of the year.

Konstakis replaces Jordan Levin, who will become chairman of the board of directors after more than five years as CEO. According to the company, Levin will continue to play an important role in defining the strategic direction of the business.

In his new role, Konstakis will be responsible for overseeing OpenBet’s vision, strategy, and day-to-day operations. Since joining the company in September 2021, he has held several key positions, including Chief Operating Officer and Chief Product Officer. Over the past nine months, he served as president.

Konstakis had previously worked at OpenBet before. Between November 2017 and March 2018, he was Vice President of Trading. He then spent three and a half years at SG Digital before rejoining OpenBet. 

Throughout his career, he also worked for Intralot. He served as Head of Betting and Head of Product and Trading.

“I am honored to take on this role and lead the business at such an exciting time,” said Konstakis.

“We have an exceptional customer base, a great team, and significant opportunities ahead,” he added.

Konstakis will seek to “leverage the strengths” of the business and bring “greater agility and focus” to strengthen the company’s position in the markets where it operates.

Levin’s support

Konstakis’s appointment comes at a time of strong momentum for OpenBet.

Last week, the company announced a deal to acquire OmniLogic, a technology provider for betting and lotteries. According to Konstakis, the deal complements the group’s current capabilities and provides “proven technology, specialized expertise, and established customer relationships.”

The company also performed strongly during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, processing more than 175 million bets and recording a volume of $3 billion. 

This growth comes after closing the sale of OpenBet to OB Global Holdings last year in a deal valued at $450 million. 

According to Levin, Konstakis has played a “fundamental” role in developing the business in recent times. He stated that he has “enormous confidence” in his leadership and management capabilities.

“He knows our business, our customers, and our technology inside and out, and has played a key role in defining our priorities,” said Levin.

“I’m excited to continue supporting Nikos and the entire team as we prepare for OpenBet’s next phase of growth,” he concluded.
