Ghanavati will lead the technical compliance team at Odds On Compliance, joining from Fubo Gaming where he served as Head of Regulatory Technology overseeing jurisdictional product compliance. Boasting over 30 years of industry experience, he also spent 24 years with the NJDGE, where he later served as Chief Engineer. In 2008, he joined GLI, spending 13 years with the certification service working across its technical compliance, market research and business development departments. These appointments come at the end of a big year for Odds On Compliance, where it rolled out its Playbook product series, which acts as a digital directory for state-by-state gaming industry regulations and comes with AI capabilities. The firm also recently rolled out in Canada as it seeks to grow its North American market presence.
