Rush Street Interactive has announced the appointment of Thomas Winter to its Board of Directors, bringing almost two decades of gambling industry experience to the operator.
Winter’s career history includes founding Golden Nugget Online Gaming in 2013 and serving as its President, before the operator was sold to DraftKings, where he led and developed their multi-brand online casino strategy until September 2023.
Prior to Golden Nugget Online Gaming and DraftKings, Winter was the CEO and Director of Betclic and Expekt, a brand within the Betclic Group. He was also COO at both businesses before being appointed CEO.
With Winter’s appointment, Rush Street Interactive’s Board of Directors now stands at nine members.
“We are thrilled to welcome Thomas to our board”, commented Richard Schwartz, CEO of Rush Street Interactive.
“His proven track record in the online gaming industry and his strategic vision will be invaluable as we continue to expand our footprint and enhance our offerings. We look forward to his contributions and are confident that his expertise will help drive our future success.”
In November, Rush Street Interactive’s proprietary online poker platform, BetRivers Poker, was launched in partnership with professional poker player Phil Galfond.
Initially going live in the US state of Pennsylvania, Rush Street Interactive has plans to expand the BetRivers Poker platform into additional jurisdictions.
