Rebekah’s experience in complex regulatory matters, and her distinguished career in Australian and international legal circles makes her appointment an excellent addition to BetMakers at an important time in the company’s global growth strategy. Rebekah brings a vast set of complementary skills to the Board as well as having valuable experience in the racing and wagering landscape.”

The company has achieved significant growth in recent years to become a leading player in the B2B wagering technology sector across the world and I have been impressed by the management’s vision and strategy. The company is ambitious and clearly well-positioned to execute on the next phases of growth.” 

Giles will be paid as an Australian-based Non-Executive Director with an annual salary of AU$100,000 (US$71,800).

For her first three years, Giles' annual director’s fee will include AU$75,000 per annum. She has also been issued 112,612 rights under the company’s incentive plan, which can be converted into shares on a 1:1 basis upon satisfaction of service rights milestones.
