Elantil names Nadiya Attard as Chief Commercial Officer
Revolutionary new online casino platform solutions provider appoints Relax Gaming, NetEnt and Betfair commercial executive to strengthen its all-star C-level team
Elantil, the up-and-coming online casino platform solutions provider founded by iGaming veteran, Jonathan Gauci, has announced it has installed another cornerstone of its C-level line-up with the appointment of Nadiya Attard as the group’s new Chief Commercial Officer.
Having set out on a mission to leverage Gauci’s 22+ years of industry expertise, Elantil is committed to creating a new kind of platform that puts control back in the hands of the operator. The company has promised to pull out all the stops in assembling an all-star team of iGaming executives. The announcement of Nadiya Attard, a business leader and industry innovator of her caliber, is certainly a step in the right direction. With her proven track record of exceeding targets and driving revenue growth, she’s a great addition to the team.
With over 20 years of iGaming experience covering both B2C and B2B, Nadiya Attard’s glittering career has seen her hold key positions at some of the industry’s major players, including Betfair, Microgaming, NetEnt, and – most recently – Relax Gaming. Throughout her career, she has built successful, high-performing commercial teams and played a key role in scaling businesses. At NetEnt, she helped grow the company from 300 to 1,000 employees, while at Relax Gaming, she was instrumental in transforming a startup into a Tier 1 supplier. Her wealth of knowledge and proven ability to drive growth will be invaluable as Elantil establishes itself in the marketplace.
Nadiya Attard also has fantastic experience expanding the market presence of her previous companies, thanks to her deep knowledge of all major regulated markets, including the U.S. This makes her a key player in helping Elantil operators achieve seamless market entry, a cornerstone of the company’s innovative approach.
As someone who has also run the rule over countless iGaming companies in her capacity as a returning judge for the EGR Awards, Nadiya Attard definitely knows a thing or two about what goes into making a successful product – and it’s this type of industry-wide insight in addition to her considerable commercial and biz dev expertise that makes her such a perfect fit for the position.
Moving forward, Attard will be responsible for planning and implementing Elantil’s overall commercial and marketing strategy, building a great team of professionals, while also ensuring the business meets key performance objectives and hits customer satisfaction targets – and with the company having only officially launched earlier this month, it’s an incredibly exciting challenge that she’s clearly looking forward to getting started on.
Nadiya Attard, Chief Commercial Officer at Elantil, said: “Having worked in iGaming for over two decades and held positions at many of the industry’s major players, I find myself in the fortunate position of knowing exactly what goes into making an online casino platform successful. What excites me even more is the opportunity to work with companies that bring something truly innovative to the market. Elantil is doing just that, with a unique product that not only helps customers save costs but also drives high revenues. I’m thrilled to now have the chance to showcase this knowledge and passion in my new role as CCO at Elantil.
“Having spoken to Jonathan about his vision for the company and seen the product in action, I believe Elantil has the potential to offer something completely unique to operators and I’m very excited to be getting in on the ground floor as we continue to build what will be an all-star team!”
Jonathan Gauci, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Elantil, said: “One of the driving factors for me starting Elantil was wanting to create a brand that does things the right way in terms of both its product and its people – and a huge part of that is having the right C-level team in place.
“Given we’re building the company from the ground up, this puts us in a great position where we can hand-pick the people that really represent our brand and values; and Nadiya certainly does just that. I’m very happy to be working with her on what will be a really exciting venture and believe her skill-set and in-depth knowledge of the industry will prove invaluable to Elantil going forward.”

From Zero to Seven: ICONIC21’s Slot Portfolio Expands Rapidly
In-demand live casino and iGaming content provider quickly doubles its just-launched live slot offering with seven thrilling titles now available to operators and their players.
ICONIC21’s just launched live slot portfolio now stands at seven titles as the provider continues to enhance its market leading offering, laying the foundation for its place at the front of a vertical set for long-term growth and success.
The new releases — Dao Riches, Fiesta Wilds and Vitamin Joy 25 — all take the classic slot format, which is highly sought-after by players in both real money gaming and sweepstakes markets. All three titles feature high volatility and incorporate popular mechanics and features such as:
- Dao Riches: An Asian-themed slot where Scatters and Free Spins take centre stage.
- Fiesta Wilds: A lively Mexican fiesta-themed game featuring vertically Expanding Wilds and an entertaining Buy the Bonus feature.
- Vitamin Joy 25: A follow-up to Vitamin Joy, now offering 25 payout lines and Multipliers that can stack up to x81.
These games continue the trend of classic slot experiences designed to meet player demand across real money and sweepstakes, and across multiple global markets while also delivering consistent success for operators.
With timeless themes and easy-to-understand mechanics, the games are ideal for both acquisition and retention strategies. Their familiarity and strong performance ensure they remain sticky and engaging for players.
Edvardas Sadovskis, CPO of ICONIC21, said: “Kicking off our slot vertical with seven titles that share a classic repertoire, yet feature diversity, was the perfect move for our clients. We plan to launch two new slots every month moving forward with each title increasingly tailored to our clients’ needs.
“While we’ll continue to explore new themes and introduce more innovative features over time, these recent releases cement our slot portfolio as a strong, reliable offering. It’s exciting to see such a small collection of games take shape so quickly after the vertical’s launch, and we’re eager to add even more titles over the coming months.”
ICONIC21 is expanding its content portfolio beyond live casino, with slots, crash games, RNG games, promo tools and more all included in its 2025 roadmap.
Real money gaming and sweepstakes operators can learn more about ICONIC21’s flexible offerings at ICE Barcelona, stand #5B16, where the company will be exhibiting and showcasing its full suite of games during the expo.
