iGaming and sportsbook platform supplier, Bet.Works, has appointed Jay Rood as the company’s new Chief Risk Officer.
With over 25 years’ experience in the Las Vegas sports betting industry, Rood has held a number of senior positions at companies such as Caesars, and MGM.
Rood joined MGM when it opened in December 1993 as a ticket writer and worked for the operator for over 25 years ultimately overseeing all of MGM’s sportsbooks including ten in Nevada, two in Mississippi and one in New Jersey as the expansion of sports betting has swept across the USA following the PASPA repeal in 2018, the company said in a press release.
“I had the privilege of working with Jay in the past and his 25 years of sportsbook operations will help take the company to the next level,” said Bet.Works’ Founder and CEO, David Wang. “There is no one more qualified to lead our organization as we deploy in more states in the coming months. Jay and our in-house Las Vegas-based trading and risk team will oversee all of the brands on the Bet.Works platform with a significant emphasis into advanced in-play wagering via our technology platform.”
