Phil Pearson steps down as CEO of White Label Casinos
As the company expands its offerings and pivots to a new direction, the current CEO has confirmed he will be exiting the company.
Key points:
– Pearson departs after almost nine years to focus on new ambitions
– He first joined iGaming Group in 2017 before leading White Label Casinos in 2023
– He will spend the next few months resting at home and ‘watching cricket’
Phil Pearson has announced he will be stepping down from his position as CEO of White Label Casinos.
Pearson originally joined the company in 2017 when it still operated under iGaming Group, as Head of Sales.
He describes this initial appointment as being “way over my head,” which meant he “spent the next year working every hour in the calendar to try and learn as much as possible. Then realised it wasn’t enough and noticed this industry changes faster than you learn it.”
In 2023, the company split and Pearson was chosen to lead White Label Casinos as CEO.
While he does note securing victories against Swedish regulators and financial milestones as some of his career highlights, Pearson also explains that he is most proud of “[trying] to promote the ethos of inclusion, internal promotion, knowledge sharing and growth, from the first day to my last.”
Other notable moments from Pearson include: “Vape sessions with people in the office, explaining why weed farms will not guarantee you make a fortune on the stock market with leverage to my HR team who had a ‘good idea’, breaking my toe in a raft, rescuing a member of staff from deportation by calling the head of immigration, and gambling on people in a gambling industry.”

As for his future plans, Pearson notes that he will spend the next few months watching cricket and taking time away from the industry.
While there is nothing concrete yet, he hopes to establish an animal sanctuary in the future or a sandwich shop, “or both, just with very defined food safety guidelines.”
Earlier today, The Star Entertainment also confirmed that it was shuffling its executive team as it works to stabilise governance and rebuild regulatory trust.
