Sportingtech has confirmed the appointment of Paul Jerram to the position of Head of Compliance as it continues to target emerging and recently regulated markets. 

Jerram joins Sportingtech from Sporting Group, where he held the position of Head of Internal Audits and Standards.

Bobby Longhurst, Managing Director of Sportingtech, said: “As the opportunities in emerging and regulating markets continue to abound, it’s never been more important for operators to have a firm grasp on the nuances of compliance within these jurisdictions as they continue to evolve.

“With that in mind, we couldn’t be happier to welcome Paul Jerram to the team, whose background is exactly what we need to continue to navigate the choppy and changing waters of compliance along with our operating partners.”

Jerram also boasts experience in regulation within the financial services industry and has advised and supported a host of organizations during regulatory changes.

Sportingtech noted that it will seek to utilize Jerram’s experience as it continues to bring its online casino and sportsbook offerings to emerging and recently regulated markets as quickly as possible. 

Jerram commented on his appointment: “I’m delighted to be joining Sportingtech, particularly in the run-up to the World Cup. It’s all hands on deck and a deeply exciting time, and I can’t wait to help maximize the gains we secure from a compliance perspective as the company continues to expand at pace.

“Sportingtech has clearly built up a great deal of momentum in recent months, and I expect the next phase of the company’s development to be extremely busy and gratifying.
