Kindred, Gamesys and DraftKings execs appointed to CasinoCoin advisory board
Open source, peer-to-peer cryptocurrency is working with regulators and being developed specifically for egaming
Peer-to-peer cryptocurrency CasinoCoin has appointed a number of senior gambling industry professionals to its foundation’s newly-established advisory board.
CasinoCoin was acquired and re-launched by former PokerStars marketing director John Caldwell and Rational Group’s Duncan Cameron, and is being developed in partnership with a number of leading egaming jurisdictions including the Isle of Man and Malta.
It aims to become the cryptocurrency of choice for the egaming industry.
CEO of Gamesys Lee Fenton; Britt Boeskov, CPO of Kindred Group; and Sam Hobcraft, CEO of OPL Gaming Group, are among those appointed to the board.
The committee will also consist of DraftKings CIO Jeffrey Haas; WH Partners partner James Scicluna; iGaming Ideas founder David Sargeant; Morten Tonnesen, formerly of PokerStars; and ex- London Stock exchange regulator Luke Webster.
Director John Caldwell said: “We have assembled a team with unparalleled experience from across the global gaming sector and beyond.”
The board will assist the non-profit CasinoCoin foundation in promoting the adoption and best-use practices of CasinoCoin in regulated markets.
