WagerPhone Hires New Chief Information Officer

TORONTO - WagerPhone hired Dino Angaritis as its new chief information officer to aid and implement its lottery platform installations.

WP is focused on providing National and State Lotteries with a number of methods to purchase lottery tickets and scratch cards via the utilization of SMS, J2ME, Brew, WAP, interactive voice recognition (IVR), and online technologies.

After studying Engineering at the University of Western Ontario, Angaritis consulted privately for a number of hardware and software companies across Canada. He began working with WP last summer on the development and implementation of their mobile lottery solution, and is responsible for the technical direction that the company has taken since then. He has a network of contacts in the telecom and media sectors across South America.
