Bragg Gaming CEO Mazij Moves to Advisory Role

Bragg Gaming Group chief executive Matevž Mazij has stepped down and immediately moved into a strategic advisory position. Operations director Morten Tonnesen has been appointed interim CEO effective 6 November 2026. The company did not disclose the reason for the departure.

Mazij will advise the board on strategic matters but will not be responsible for day-to-day management. He had been CEO since August 2023. Mazij founded Oryx Gaming, which Bragg acquired in 2018. He also served on the board from 2021 to 2026.

Tonnesen joined the company as operations director in March 2026. As interim CEO, he will manage day-to-day operations and report to the board. A co-founder of BetWarrior, Tonnesen spent six years at PokerStars. Board chair Matt Davey said the board trusts Tonnesen's operational experience.

The board's priorities are to strengthen the balance sheet and operating cash flow, and to develop technology, content and services. Tonnesen said he will focus on delivery to operator partners and run the business with a simpler structure.

Mazij was not re-elected to the board by shareholder vote earlier this year. The company reported second-quarter revenue of 22.9 million euros, down 12 percent year on year, and withdrew its full-year forecast. Two rounds of layoffs had also been announced as part of a restructuring.
