• Tamer Hassan has been made President at Sports.com Studios, which is Lottery.com’s new branch for content.
• Hassan, who has been a director at Lottery.com since 2023, is most recognised for his roles in Layer Cake and Game of Thrones.
• This new unit will focus on making sports documentaries and fresh programs that support the Sports.com brand.

Lottery.com just chose British actor and film producer Tamer Hassan to lead Sports.com Studios, a fresh group formed to make and share sports-centered movies, docuseries, and digital work. Since June 2023, Hassan has been on the firm’s board and brings long experience, over 25 years, in both film and television.

Matthew McGahan, acting as Chairman and CEO of Lottery.com, shared, “Tamer is a true powerhouse, his skills, his feel for telling stories, and his strong links to sports give him the best talent for Sports.com Studios.” He will take charge of creative planning, getting funds for projects, and coming up with ways to spread out the studio’s first group of content. Some first projects now in pre-production will include a docu-series covering how a British football club was bought and revived, as well as inside looks at top athletes.

A useful fact: On June 12th, Lottery.com made a deal to buy 90% of Nook Holdings, a Dubai sports incubator, paying $2.5 million. Hassan said, “I have always trusted the way sport and film can bring people together, motivate them, and show real stories about humans. Now, being President of Sports.com Studios, I feel thrilled to join these worlds and deliver new, true, and moving content for fans everywhere.”

At the start of this year, we learned Lottery.com plans to set up extra Sports.com sites in Al Quoz, Riyadh, Jeddah, Abu Dhabi, and Greater Miami, so the brand becomes a full sports platform with multiple directions. The Sports.com Studios team will run on its own as a special part inside Lottery.com, reporting only to McGahan. So far, the first production dates have not come out, but the business has confirmed that more project news will come soon.
