BGC Expands its Careers Video Series with Employees from NOVOMATIC and DragonBet

The Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) launched on October 2, 2026, a new installment of its careers video series, featuring testimonials from employees of members NOVOMATIC and DragonBet. The publication expands the campaign initiated in early 2026 and highlights career paths ranging from meteorology to long-term creative careers.

The BGC series and its goal with the careers video series

The BGC careers video series showcases how the regulated betting and gaming sector in Great Britain recruits and develops talent with diverse profiles. The project aims to illustrate employment opportunities, training, and professional growth within licensed companies that are members of the association.

The videos presented in this release include individual profiles and job experiences that explain daily tasks and the skills applied in various roles. The material was produced by the BGC as a continuation of the first series published earlier in 2026.

Featured profiles in the new release

The new release includes professionals from NOVOMATIC and DragonBet, with the following positions and career paths cited by the BGC:

• Max (Novomatic Gaming UK): shares his transition from meteorology to the gaming sector and the new professional connections he has made.

• Chris Pratt (Games Design Lead): discusses a career of 35 years in the industry, his lifelong passion for games, and the creative aspect of bringing products to market.

• Reanna Celozzi (Finance Assistant, DragonBet): explains her entry into the sector and how DragonBet supports her professional aspirations in finance.

• Rob Rees (Graphic Designer, DragonBet): describes the growth of his creative confidence while developing projects at DragonBet.

• Seb Kennedy (Content and Sponsorships Manager, DragonBet): details the building of his career and why the dynamic nature of the sector keeps his role motivating.

Each profile offers a distinct perspective on professional mobility within regulated operations in the UK and what skills are transferable from other sectors.

Employment, training, and economic contribution in the UK

The BGC uses the series to underline the contribution of the regulated sector to the economy and local employment in Great Britain. The materials emphasize three key messages:

1. The existence of non-linear career paths that incorporate talent from technical and creative backgrounds.

2. The provision of skill development and progression opportunities within licensed operators.

3. The impact on local communities through jobs and training linked to sector companies.

The campaign targets audiences that may be considering a career change or seeking information about vacancies and career paths within the regulated sector.

What this means for operators, recruiters, and talent providers

For human resources departments and talent consultancies, the series acts as a positioning tool for the sector against candidates with non-traditional backgrounds. The videos also serve as support material in employer branding processes and in recruitment efforts where social proof (real testimonials) weighs in the candidate's decision.

Recruiters should notice the diversity of profiles shown: from technical specialists with prior training in scientific fields to designers with decades of experience. This adjusts expectations regarding search channels and recruitment messaging.

Regulatory and communication implications

The BGC articulates these types of campaigns alongside its advocacy and public relations work regarding regulation. The initiative links to public messages about employment and economic value, and can fuel debates in regulation and relationships with local communities.

For operators concerned about public perception and compliance, effectively communicating career and training paths can moderate public conversation and reinforce the narrative of the regulated sector against unlicensed alternatives.

What’s next and the BGC’s agenda

The BGC has not announced specific dates for new releases, but the organization presents this installment as part of a continuous series initiated in 2026. The continuity of the project will depend on the reception of these videos and the effectiveness of the piece as a communication tool regarding employment and skill development in the industry.

"The series offers a direct look at career paths and growth within the regulated sector," the BGC states in the announcement of the new release.

The material serves employers and talent managers to showcase concrete examples of job mobility and training within licensed operators in the UK.

Practical reading for sector professionals

• Talent departments can use the testimonials as case studies in selection processes.

• Corporate communication teams obtain audiovisual material that reinforces messages about employment and economic contribution.

• Training providers and universities can identify demanded skills that appear repeatedly in the profiles.

The BGC careers series continues to be a public resource that member companies can cite in presentations and recruitment programs.
