The Isle of Man based online casino software developer, Microgaming, is pleased to announce their most recent high-profile appointment of technology venture capitalist and marketing executive Bruce Elliott. Having worked with Neteller for the last four years as Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Elliot will now serve as head of Business Development and Marketing for Microgaming.

Considering the gigantic legal mess that Neteller is in at the current moment, Elliot's decision to join Microgaming does not come as a surprise. Although Elliot's allegiance to the online ePayment processor was strong, the way that Neteller has been bowing down to bullying tactics from the U.S. Department of Justice and essentially leaving their customers out in the dark, has not done the company well. While business is still strong in other markets, Neteller has a long way to go to polish up their reputation. They could begin by finding a way to pay all of their customers.

Elliot, who helped Neteller grow from a small-but-impressive staff of seventy-five to a whopping international company of over eight-hundred employees, expressed his excitement to join Microgaming. Having worked many years in the online gambling industry, Elliot is no stranger to the enormous success of Microgaming online casinos.

Furthermore, since Neteller is also based in Isle of Man, Elliot was able to see firsthand the surging business and growth that Microgaming has been undertaking since day one. In the last twelve months alone, Microgaming has signed twenty new poker and online casino licensees, all the while making good on their "New Games Rollout" promise, which is one of the most aggressive game release campaigns in the online gaming industry.

Regarding Bruce Elliot's appointment, Microgaming CEO, Roger Raatgever, said the company is very pleased to be taking Bruce on board to help Microgaming grow and develop even more in the coming year. Considering the vast expansion of the online gaming industry into new markets, not to mention new and exciting technological innovations, Microgaming is already implementing plans to tap into a large range of new and diverse markets, which the new VP of Sales and Marketing - Mr. Bruce Elliot - will certainly have a large part in helping to achieve.
