"I believe that Betsafe's business will increase extensively in the coming years and I hope I can contribute with my knowledge and network to help them make this trip as smooth as possible," Kinnander remarked.

Henrik Persson Ekdahl, Betsafe's CEO, said: "We are very satisfied with the recruitment of a board member with such a long and thorough experience of [the] Internet business. Johan's background contributes exactly the right competence that we need to be able to successfully grow our already strong Nordic market. We intend to strengthen the board with at least 2 more significant members during 2008. Johan will be a board member in the Norwegian company Artic Invest A/S, the investment company that owns www.betsafe.com."
