Bloomfield is currently general manager of technology, wagering and media at Australian staking giant Tabcorp, having worked at the firm since October 2016.
Bloomfield will take over from Pettett in January, as the Punters founder looks to spend more time with his family and “pursue new goals”.

News Corp Australia executive chairman Michael Miller told bandt.com: “I congratulate Luc on building a business like Punters and thank him for making sure it is positioned for continued expansion as he departs.
“His efforts to ensure the incoming CEO Ben Bloomfield matched Punters’ aspirations have been excellent.”
