Commenting on his promotion, MacDonald said: “I am delighted to be offered this great opportunity at BetMakers. Since joining the company in late 2020, I’ve seen it experience incredible growth and the future global opportunities couldn’t be more exciting.

“The BetMakers team and culture is second to none and I look forward to helping the company achieve its long term vision and goals.”
