SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
BetComply has hired former Entain Executive Jez White as the group’s very first Safer Gambling and Sustainability Specialist.
In joining the iGaming technical and regulatory compliance firm, White will design and implement safer gambling strategies, audit existing safer gambling models, as well as design CRM strategies for clients.
White said on his new role: “I’m incredibly proud of the advancements made in player protection during my eight years at Entain, and I’m now excited to join BetComply.
“They have very quickly emerged as the leading compliance firm in our industry, and I’ll be contributing to their vision of creating a safer and more sustainable gaming sector.”
Previously, the new hire had spent more than eight years at Entain as Director of Player Protection Systems and Analytics.
While at the company, he led the implementation of a safe gambling strategy that incorporated pattern recognition models and real-time interaction technology.
BetComply went on to applaud White’s expertise across responsible gaming, risk management and player protection technology which is said to have been instrumental in shaping industry standards.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Jez, who has been at the very cutting edge of regulated online gaming for many years now,” added Daniel Brookes, CEO of BetComply.
“Few, if any, can match his level of expertise, and this is a major coup for BetComply and our partners. His insights and experience will be invaluable as we continue to set new benchmarks in compliance and sustainability.”
In recent weeks, BetComply has been expanding its senior team even further after hiring Paola Menchem to lead legal and regulatory compliance services at the London-headquartered firm.
At the end of last year, the company also announced the appointment of iGaming entrepreneur and expert Warren Jacobs to its board as a Non-Executive Director (NED).
The news comes as BetComply continues to rapidly expand its range of products and services, supporting partners across more than 40 regulated jurisdictions globally.
