15/01/2019

Bet.Works has named former Scientific Games exec Quinton Singleton as its new chief operating officer.

Singleton was vice president of corporate strategy and government affairs at NYX from June 2016 until its takeover by Scientific Games, and then held the same role at SG until leaving in July last year.

He will be responsible for the operations of Bet.Works with a focus on “go-to-market strategy and operations”, and delivering the firm’s omni-channel sports betting and gaming platform into US markets.

Bet.Works has partnered with Canadian media brand TheScore to launch a betting and gaming product in New Jersey in 2019.

The partners will use Monmouth Park Racetrack as their licensing partner.

Bet.Works’ founder and CEO David Wang said: “Bet.Works is very pleased to have Quinton join our management team. He has been at the forefront of the US gaming industry for many years and significantly involved, specifically, in the legalization and expansion of sports betting in the U.S.

“Quinton’s experience will be tremendously valuable in accelerating the growth of Bet.Works into multiple existing and emerging regulated states.”

Bet.Works also recently appointed former deputy president for Sportradar US, Dr. Laila Mintas, as chairwoman of its Advisory Board.

Singleton added: “Bet.Works is building an industry leading team to complement its market-leading technology and targeted rapid U.S. expansion. Obtaining the first dual certification of GLI 19 and 33 standards was a key step to establishing our readiness for the U.S. market and we are looking forward to going live with theScore in New Jersey in 2019.”
