Guy Harding departs oddschecker for Commercial Directorship at LC Interactive

Oddschecker’s Commercial Strategy and Safer Gambling Director, Guy Harding, has confirmed that he is vacating his role for a new position at LC Interactive Ltd.

Confirming the news on Linkedin, Harding revealed that his six-year tenure at oddschecker was coming to a close, having first joined the firm as Head of Commercial in February 2016 before assuming his now-outgoing position in July 2021. Guy Harding

LC Interactive is an online media business, which states that its corporate remit is to construct ‘cutting-edge’ products, using its specialist team and ‘the latest tech’.

“After nearly seven years at oddschecker, I am delighted to announce that I am joining LC Interactive Ltd as Commercial Director,” Harding stated on Linkedin.

“Huge thanks to all my OC colleagues especially Nick Barnett to whom I’ll always be so grateful for introducing me to this wild industry.”

During Harding’s tenure as commercial and safer gambling lead for oddschecker, the firm was acquired by Bruin Capital from Flutter Entertainment for $155m, becoming the group’s media arm.

His departure is the latest major development to impact oddschecker’s board, following the appointment of Stuart Simms as CEO last month.

Simms replaced Toby Bentall as CEO, who stepped down from the role in March, ending an eight-month search for a new leader.
