Splash Tech appoints Jumpman Gaming founder as chairman
Ben Starr joins the tech firm and will also become an investor at the firm alongside Steve Schrier, Daniel Burns and Sandford Loudon
Splash Tech has announced that Jumpman Gaming founder Ben Starr will join the company as chairman.
Starr joins the company after the successful sale of Jumpman to Super Group, the parent company of Betway and multi-brand online casino Spin, in September 2022.
In addition to his new role at Splash Tech, Starr will also become an investor alongside other industry veterans Steve Schrier, Daniel Burns and Sandford Loudon.
Jumpman Gaming was the second igaming business Starr founded after establishing online bingo comparison site OhMyBingo in December 2009. He sold the business to First Leads in January 2018.
Starr is also CEO of 15 Marketing. He joined the firm in December 2009 as managing director before becoming CEO in May 2020.
Adam Wilson, CEO of Splash Tech, said: “Ben brings an unmatched level of experience in building, growing and successfully exiting an online gaming platform. We count ourselves lucky to have his experience and knowledge feeding into the business as we go through an unprecedented level of growth.”
On his new role, Starr added: “I invest in companies that build teams and products I believe in. Splash Tech has shown in a very short period of time that they have what it takes to compete at a high level in the space, and I look forward to working closely with the team as they build on their recent success.”
