Degree 53 founder launches new gambling technology business

Degree 53 founder Andrew Daniels has launched a new gambling technology business, Sharp Gaming, following an investment of more than £25m by betting group founder Fred Done.

Sharp Gaming is an advanced platform which provides a full suite of operational services for sports betting and gaming businesses worldwide.

Andrew Daniels will take the role as chief executive at Sharp Gaming, stepping away from the day-to-day running of Manchester-based website designer Degree 53.

Richard Wagstaff is the new managing director at Degree 53.

Sharp Gaming stems from Degree 53, capitalising on the company’s knowledge of creating digital products for the online gambling industry.

In 2017, Degree 53 created a gaming division, which began the process of building the basis and recruiting specialists for Sharp Gaming.

Andrew Daniels said: “Despite the current situation, I’m very excited to be launching Sharp Gaming and developing it into an industry-leading platform.”
