Today, we are interviewing Lars Wahlstrom – the founder of ARGO Gaming Group. Lars discusses how his experience in the casino industry has helped him to start his own business.
How would you describe NJCasinoo.com to someone who does not know what you are doing?
– NJcasinoo.com connects players and online casino operators in New Jersey. If you think of Hotels.com, connecting supply and demand, that’s what we do but for online casinos in New Jersey.
How did you end up in the casino industry?
– The founders of ARGO Gaming Group, who operates NJcasinoo.com, have over 30 years of combined experience in the online gambling industry, so starting ARGO in early 2020 came naturally to us.
What made you want to start NJCasinoo?
– A passion for the industry and growth!
What personality traits make you a skilled founder? What have been your biggest challenges?
– Easy. Stubbornness! My biggest challenge is probably to not get the family too engaged in the business, which is kind of hard when you want to share stuff I find really really exciting but hey, I can understand my 7 year old might rather talk about his latest progress in Fortnite…
How have you changed as a person from running NJCasinoo?
– Good question. My first instinct is to answer “no” but that is probably not true. I think your professional personality sort of merges with your “you” after a while so I will have to change my answer to a “yes”!
What are you most proud of?
– Exceeding all expectations for our first year in business, 2020, by far felt good. Now it’s just a matter of keeping the momentum!
Where do you want to be in 5 years?
– Top of the world, mom!
Personal and professional where can people find you online?
– If anyone likes to reach me the best way to get in contact with me is via Linkedin.
