Bragg Gaming has appointed experienced iGaming executive Thomas Winter to its Board of Directors.
Winter succeeds Kent Young, who has retired after nearly three years on the company’s Board.
Recognised as a two-time Gaming Intelligence Hot 50 winner in 2017 and 2019, Winter founded Golden Nugget Online Gaming in 2013 and the company went public before being acquired by DraftKings for $1.5 billion in May 2022.
At DraftKings, he helped develop the company’s multi-brand online casino strategy and led their online casino business until September 2023.
Winter currently serves as a Board Member of New York-listed Rush Street Interactive, which operates the BetRivers, PlaySugarHouse and RushBet brands.
“I would like to thank Kent for his many contributions to the company,” said Bragg chair Holly Gagnon. “I am also very pleased to welcome Thomas to our team. Moving forward, the Board and management team will be steadfast in our aim to close the clear and persistent gap between the company’s public market valuation and our assessment of its intrinsic value.
“To that end, as Thomas is a gaming industry luminary who has earned my deep personal admiration and great professional respect, I am confident that he will be a tremendous asset to our Board and to our shareholders.”
Young had joined Bragg’s Board in 2023, having founded games developer Spin Games, which was acquired by Bragg in 2022.
Shares in Bragg Gaming Group Inc (TOR:BRAG) closed at CA$2.35 per share in Toronto Wednesday, having lost more than 62.5 per cent of their value in the past year.
