Lottery games provider Lottery.com has boosted its sports infotainment division with British actor Tamer Hassan.
Hassan, who is the company’s Director, will now take on the role of President of Sports.com Studios – a creative media project that is targeting the production and distribution of sports-focused movies, docuseries and digital content.
“I’ve always believed in the power of sport and film to unite, inspire and tell real human stories,” Hassan commented. “As President of Sports.com Studios, I’m excited to bring those worlds together and produce original, emotional, and authentic content for fans across the globe. We’re just getting started.”
Sports.com Studios is already in the pre-preduction stage on a number of titles, such as a documentary shining light on the acquisition and the subsequent revival of a British football club, and content that provides behind-the-scenes access to elite athletes.
Hassan will contribute to this all by leveraging his 25 years of international film and television experience, having been part of major productions like Game of Thrones, Layer Cake, The Business, The Football Factory, and Eastern Promises.
Matthew McGahan, Chairman and CEO of Lottery.com, added: “Tamer is a force of nature — his experience, storytelling instincts, and deep connection to the world of sport make him uniquely suited to lead Sports.com Studios.
“We’re proud to have him at the helm as we build a slate of powerful content that inspires audiences and builds our global brand.”
Besides sports infotainment and lottery ticket sales, Lottery.com has its hands in a number of other pots. Most recently, the company entered a majority stake acquisition deal with Nook Holdings – a Dubai health and wellness incubator.
