Bragg Gaming CEO Matevž Mazij steps down as Morten Tonnesen takes charge

Bragg Gaming Group’s CEO, Matevž Mazij, has left his position effective immediately, as he transitions into a strategic advisory position instead. As of November 6, 2026, Morten Tonnesen has been appointed to the role of interim CEO.

As part of his new role, Mazij will give his input to the board regarding strategic work and support the management in keeping up with key partners. He won’t be responsible for managing daily operations. Bragg hasn’t made it clear why Mazij’s resignation occurred.

Mazij held the position of CEO starting in August 2023, after founding Oryx Gaming, which was bought by Bragg in 2018. He has been part of the company’s board in the years 2021-2026. In 2026, shareholders voted against Mazij’s re-election to the board.

Tonnesen joined Bragg as COO in March 2026, and will now direct the day-to-day operations at the company, while reporting to the board.

Among his previous career positions are being one of the founders of sportsbook service BetWarrior and spending six years at PokerStars, as well as holding various leadership positions at Shape Games and Xtremepush.

Matt Davey, chairman of Bragg said the board members are sure of Tonnesen’s successful experience and his ability to guide the company during the time of transitions.
