Gambling.com Group opens flagship US office in Charlotte, North Carolina
Affiliate commits to the Tar Heel State with new hub that will be home to around 30 staff and several key functions of the business
Gambling.com Group has opened a new flagship US office in Charlotte, North Carolina, to add to its growing global footprint.
The new 10,400 sq ft hub is located in the city’s Lower South End, or LoSo, and opened over the summer.
The space will be home to almost 30 Gambling.com Group staff as well as co-founder and COO Kevin McCrystle.
Several departments including portions of the commercial team, HR, and US-local site management will be housed in the Charlotte office.
The new hub features several amenities, including a private outdoor space, fitness areas, kitchens, and lounges.
The Charlotte office now sits alongside Gambling.com Group’s other hubs in Dublin, Malta, and the UK.
The business was previously based out of a co-working space in Charlotte but has elected to move given the pace at which it is growing, especially in the US.
Both McCrystle and his fellow co-founder and Gambling.com Group CEO Charles Gillespie are from Charlotte and are alumni of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The commitment to Charlotte also comes as the city is experiencing an influx of tech companies looking to set up shop in North Carolina. Microsoft, IBM, and Accenture all boast offices in the city.
Speaking to EGR North America, McCrystle said: “Our goal was to thoughtfully design a space that reflects what our employees want – a place they look forward to gathering in.
“Whether it’s for major events, holiday celebrations, or simply connecting face-to-face, we want the office in Charlotte to feel like a hub of creativity and community.
“As a company, we offer flexible options, from working remotely to hybrid work. We ensure that each person can choose what best suits their lifestyle while still feeling connected to the team.”
Last month, Gambling.com Group reported an 18% spike in Q2 revenue, with the affiliate also looking to make gains in Europe and Canada after acquiring several assets from XLMedia in a deal worth up to $42.5m.
