Martin Stalros, CEO at Relax Gaming, said: “We are delighted to welcome Angela to Relax Gaming. 

“She brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the executive team and I look forward to working with her as she reinforces Relax Gaming’s commitment to strong legal responsibility and compliance.”

Angela van den Berg, the newly-appointed General Counsel at Relax Gaming, added: "It is an honour to be joining Relax Gaming at this exciting part of the group’s journey. 

“I am looking forward to working with the incredible team at Relax and to support the business as it continues to grow as an acclaimed and esteemed player in the iGaming industry.

“I can’t wait to be surrounded by such a dedicated and exceptional team, support advancing the group’s goals and growth across markets, and to help reach new heights together!”

In the role - which will be based out of Relax Gaming’s head offices in the Isle of Man - Van den Berg will be responsible for leading the legal function and managing the group’s legal affairs. 

Her new responsibilities will also include the chance to work closely with the business to provide strategic advice on all facets of the business operations and to support advancing the company’s goals and its growth strategy across global markets.

van den Berg joins the company after leaving her role as Chief Legal Officer at Games Global. There she was instrumental in setting up the global corporate group and helping to establish the group’s legal function and global legal strategy.

This appointment comes just over a year after Martin Stalros was appointed CEO of Relax Gaming. Since then, the company has continued to take great strides with aims of propelling itself to being one of the market leading game providers. 

Speaking at the turn of the year, Stalros shared clues he wanted to put his own stamp on the exec team. 

“I’m incredibly lucky to have a talented team around me,” stated Stalros. “We’re re-modelling our executive team to bring great experience and a fresh perspective to the company. The Relax culture is strong and it’s only going to grow stronger!”
