Based on the Isle of Man alongside, and reporting to, SBTech CEO Richard Carter, Kanter will be responsible for continuing to grow and maintain the high standards of compliance across SBTech’s global business including the wide range of new and existing markets in which it supplies its leading products and services.

As SBTech’s Chief Compliance Officer he will manage, enhance and implement new and existing tools, procedures and processes to ensure the sustainability of the business model across its entire product portfolio, engaging with international regulators to both strengthen and expand the company’s global regulated market presence.

Richard Carter, CEO, SBTech, said: “Jeremie is a fantastic addition to the senior team and I’m delighted to be able to bring hm on board. His experience in setting the highest standards possible, his meticulous approach to encouraging and implementing best practice and navigating some of the most complex issues in the industry will be vital as we continue to launch in newly regulated and regulating markets.”

Jeremie Kanter, Chief Compliance Officer, SBTech, said: “I’m thrilled to join SBTech and already know the team well following many years in the industry. SBTech already sets the benchmark when it comes to compliance and I’m looking forward to the challenge of raising those standards to an even higher level across the business’s leading technology, tools and processes.

“Compliance is an enabler to sustainably and significantly growing the business and achieving even more success, and I’m very excited with the plans the company has for the future.”

Recognising the most forward-thinking companies that are best prepared for the impact of new regulations, judges said the award was a credit to the work SBTech has carried out in implementing innovative processes to enhance compliance across regulated jurisdictions and its operator network.
