The appointment will strengthen EvenBet’s presence in the Latin American market.

EvenBet Gaming has announced the appointment of Manuel Jimenez as its representative for Colombia, and the provider hopes it will solidify its position in the Latin American region.

Jimenez comes to the role with years of igaming experience, having held senior roles at a variety of different organisations including Join Games, Spinola Gaming and Apuesta Rápida Perú.

He has also worked as a business consultant for 25 years and was also the director of the magazines Apuesta Colombia and Sector de Juego Panamá.

In his new role, Jimenez will work closely with EvenBet’s new and existing partners in Colombia, which is one of the biggest regulated markets in Latin America.

EvenBet says that Jimenez’s appointment complements the company’s Spanish-speaking support team in Costa Rica, which is led by Danny Ortiz.

The company adds that it demonstrates its strong ambitions to increase its foothold in one of the fastest growing regions in the industry.

CEO EvenBet Gaming Dmitry Starostenkov said: “We’re thrilled Manuel is joining the EvenBet team. His experience and contacts in Colombia and Latin America are exceptional. We’re sure he’ll be a true asset to both EvenBet and all our clients, as we bid to broaden our global footprint.”

Jimenez added: “My family’s business was lottery distribution when I was growing up, so I’ve always been close to the industry, but poker is definitely one of my passions. As a result, working with EvenBet will be very exciting. Having the certification of the online poker platform for Colombia facilitates decision-making by our clients throughout the Latin American region, where we have solid relationships achieved by years of successful commercial development in the igaming space.”
