Christian Bogstrand joins DraftKings
DraftKings has appointed experienced iGaming executive Christian Bogstrand as its new Executive Vice President and General Manager of iGaming.
Christian Bogstrand has been appointed by DraftKings as the US operator’s new Executive Vice President and General Manager of iGaming.
The new hire has over two decades within the iGaming industry and held a number of prestigious positions over 12 years at bet365, ending up eventually as the CEO and Head of Gaming.
After six and a half years in this role, he moved on to the same role at Lucky7 Ventures, a job he performed from London, where he will continue working from DraftKings’ UK base of operations.
He has expressed his enthusiasm for this next step on LinkedIn, where he posted: “From the fantastic teams to a strong in-house technology foundation and a company-wide focus on delivering best-in-class player experiences, this is a unique opportunity to contribute to a business that’s scaling with purpose. It’s also a place where I believe I can thrive and continue growing.”
DraftKings has been growing its iGaming sector, and it could be telling that Bogstrand has been given an executive role at the company on top of his management position within that particular arm of the business.
The company’s Q2 2025 revenue figures showed a 22.6% year-over-year growth in iGaming, bringing it up to $429.7m overall.
Bogstrand goes on in his social post to praise the hiring process, writing: “When I first connected with DraftKings, I met a group of founders and leaders who were welcoming, focused, and deeply motivated to keep raising the bar. That energy and sense of purpose made the decision to come on board easy.”
