Mor Weizer

Mor Weizer is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Executive Director of Playtech PLC, a leading technology provider for the global gambling industry. Since becoming CEO in May 2007, Weizer has transformed Playtech from a software developer into a global B2B powerhouse known for its strategic acquisitions and market expansions. He led the company’s shift toward focusing primarily on its core technology business.

Bio

Born in 1975, Weizer has a strong background in finance and technology, starting his career as a qualified accountant at PricewaterhouseCoopers. His net worth is often estimated around $791,000 based on public stock ownership data as of late 2025.

However, this number likely understates his total wealth, given his significant executive compensation, which included an estimated €5.3 million in recent years.

Early Career in Finance and Tech

Weizer’s professional foundation combines rigorous financial discipline with high-tech product expertise, preparing him for leadership in the complex iGaming sector.

Education and Qualifications

Weizer is a qualified accountant. He began his career focused on gaining professional certifications rather than a single university degree. This background gave him the necessary skills for auditing and compliance in large, regulated industries. While specific university details are not public, his expertise is clear through his early career placements.

Roles at PwC and Oracle

Weizer built an international resume at two major firms before joining the gaming industry:

  • PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP: He started as an auditor and financial consultant in the UK, focusing on compliance and advisory services.
  • Oracle (U.K.) Ltd. (2000–2005): He transitioned to the technology sector, serving as a development consultant and product manager. He created new sales and consulting channels across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).

The Playtech Era: CEO and Strategic Growth

Weizer joined Playtech in 2005 and quickly rose to the top, overseeing a strategy centered on global expansion and M&A.

Promotion and Company Focus

In 2005, Weizer joined Playtech as CEO of its subsidiary, Techplay Marketing Ltd. This role involved managing licensee relationships and product development for new clients. In May 2007, he was promoted to Group CEO of Playtech PLC.

Under his direction, Playtech’s strategy focused on diversification and technology integration:

  • Key Acquisitions: He led deals to acquire gaming studios like Quickspin and Ash Gaming. This expanded Playtech’s portfolio beyond live casino to include online slots and other digital games.
  • Snaitech Management and Sale: Weizer spearheaded the €950 million acquisition of Snaitech in 2018. Snaitech was a leading Italian sports betting and retail gaming operator. In 2024, he oversaw the profitable €2.3 billion sale of Snaitech to Flutter Entertainment, which allowed Playtech to concentrate fully on its B2B software and technology business.

Achievements in the Industry

 

Weizer has positioned Playtech as a leader in both technology and responsible practices. Playtech reported revenues exceeding €1.8 billion in 2023. His achievements include:

  • Responsible Gaming: He championed initiatives like Playtech Protect, a comprehensive program focused on safer gambling tools and research.
  • Industry Recognition: He has been named one of the Top 100 Most Influential People in iGaming and led the company to the “Best Digital Industry Supplier” award in 2016.

Private Life and Future Outlook

Weizer maintains a very private personal life. He currently resides in Tel Aviv, Israel. Public sources confirm that he is married, and his wife once jokingly noted that his primary dedication is to Playtech, calling the company his “first home.” No other family or personal interest details are publicly known.

In 2025, Weizer focuses on further global market entries, especially in the US, and integrating AI and machine learning into Playtech’s offerings. While he continues to drive growth, he has also faced and addressed shareholder scrutiny over executive compensation in the wake of the Snaitech sale, emphasizing a commitment to balanced governance and ethical growth.
