“Mary-Beth will manage the global PointsBet infrastructure and lead a very talented team who follows industry best practices in operating our systems efficiently with high reliability and security,” he added.

Hosking commented on her new position, saying: “As an IT leader, motivated by innovation and building high performing teams, I am excited to be joining the team at PointsBet.

“Working with a global organisation with an impressive growth strategy, leading-edge technology and a team of outstanding IT professionals is a dream come true.”

This is not the only announcement made from PointsBet this month. Due to an exclusive partnership agreement with Colonia Downs Group, PointsBet was awarded a temporary supplier licence to offer sports wagering in Virginia. 

Another agreement from the online bookmaker (and exclusive partner of NBC Sports) was a signed multi-year sports betting partnership with Sportstradar, aiming to incorporate Sportradar’s pre-match live betting services. These services include pre-match odds suggestions, live data and trading tools including content solutions, live scores and live match trackers.
