A year after leaving Integrity Compliance 360 (IC360), Matt Holt is back in business as the chief executive of a gaming compliance firm.
Holt announced that he is the new CEO of Gaming Compliance International (GCI), a company that specializes in gaming compliance, advertising and media content monitoring, black market mitigation services and automated audit and revenue reporting.
Holt was previously CEO of IC360, formed in spring 2024 via a merger between U.S. Integrity and Odds On Compliance. Holt founded U.S. Integrity and served as its chief executive for more than five years before transitioning into the same role at the new company. SBC Americas learned in October 2024 that he had left the company a couple of months prior.
At IC360 and U.S. Integrity, he and other leaders at the pre-merge and post-merge companies worked together on the Prohibet tool that is used by a host of sports leagues, gaming operators and regulators to ensure that personnel are not violating policies or state betting regulations.
Since leaving that company, he took up a role on the board of nVenue, a company that provides an AI-powered micro-betting engine built for live sports, offering the firm his expertise in betting compliance.
Now, he has a new full-time position.
“I am so proud and excited to announce that I have accepted the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Gaming Compliance International (GCI),” Holt wrote on LinkedIn. “I am humbled and thankful for such an amazing opportunity. The technology has proven to be transformative in some of the premier online gaming markets in the world. I look forward to working side by side with the amazing team at GCI.
“I am honored to lead the team that will drive growth, global expansion, and technological problem-solving in regulated markets. Be on the lookout for lots of exciting announcements from GCI in the coming weeks!”
Holt’s other past roles included a spell as chief operating officer of Cantor Gaming, where he was instrumental in the company launching mobile sports betting. He served as Fantasy Sports and Gaming Association (FSGA) vice chair for four years.
