Daniel Maloney Begins Tenure as New Hampshire Lottery’s First Director of Sports Betting

With opportunities for sports betting expanding across New Hampshire, the New Hampshire Lottery recently hired Daniel Maloney to be its first Director of Sports Betting. In this role, Maloney will lead sports betting sales strategies and executions, and will identify potential partners. Originally from New York, Maloney has extensive experience with gaming regulation and compliance, most recently working as an intern at the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Maloney began his tenure with the New Hampshire Lottery in August 2020.
“We are pleased to welcome Daniel Maloney to our team in this critical new strategic role to help us continue to implement and expand upon our already successful sports betting infrastructure,” said Charlie McIntyre, Executive Director, New Hampshire Lottery. “We are proud of our initial success with sports betting and we have every expectation that we will continue to build momentum. Danny will play a major role in our efforts to maximize this channel in support of education in New Hampshire. The future is bright for sports betting in New Hampshire.”
The Director of Sports Betting position was created as part of the 2019 legislation establishing a system for sports betting in New Hampshire. The position oversees all aspects of sports betting in the Granite State and coordinates directly with partners, including DraftKings and physical sportsbook locations, to support sports betting opportunities and to ensure compliance with state regulations.
The New Hampshire Lottery launched mobile sports betting with DraftKings in December 2019 and since that time, more than 40,000 sports fans have registered to place wagers in New Hampshire. Players have made more than 4.7 million bets totaling more than $140 million. The New Hampshire Lottery and DraftKings have opened two physical sportsbooks over the past two months: DraftKings Sportsbook at Manchester housed at Filotimo Casino & Bar in Manchester and DraftKings Sportsbook at The Brook in Seabrook.
“I am extremely excited to be able to step into this new position with the New Hampshire Lottery,” Maloney said. “I could not imagine a better role for myself and I look forward to working collaboratively with the New Hampshire Lottery team and its partners to continue to build on the Granite State’s reputation as the go-to destination for sports betting in the northeast. With DraftKings’s easy-to-use app providing countless opportunities for sports wagering in an engaging platform, coupled with world-class physical destinations, New Hampshire features an unparalleled sports betting experience.”
Maloney, who now resides in Manchester, has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Queens College in New York, a Doctor of Law degree from Seton Hall University of Law, and a Master’s of Law degree in gaming and regulation from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, William S. Boyd School of Law, as well as 12 years of experience in contract and compliance law.

Major Casino Operators Ready to Invest if Georgia Lifts Casino Ban

As discussions about legalizing gambling in Georgia gain momentum, major casino operators like Wynn Resorts and Boyd Gaming are poised to lead the charge if the state changes its restrictive laws.
During a recent Georgia House study committee meeting, Christopher Gordon, president of Wynn Resorts’ development arm, expressed keen interest in building a multibillion-dollar casino should legal barriers be removed. Similarly, Boyd Gaming’s government affairs vice president Ryan Soultz highlighted Georgia’s market attractiveness.
Wynn’s model would be similar to its $2.6 billion Encore Boston Harbor, suggesting that a new Georgia casino could employ up to 4000 workers and contribute substantial gaming tax revenue.
Although specific locations have not been chosen, both companies have indicated they would need constitutional changes to move forward. Their willingness to invest heavily in the Peach State demonstrates a strong belief in the untapped potential of the state’s gambling market.
Such developments offer a compelling argument for lawmakers to consider gambling expansion, marking a shift toward economic incentives as a primary motivator for legislative change.
Should Georgia proceed with legalizing casino gambling, the legislative language will be crucial in shaping the industry’s landscape. Key proposals may include requiring casino companies to invest at least $1.2 billion per resort and generate a minimum number of jobs, often set at around 10,000 per license. This ensures that any developments bring tangible benefits to the local economy.
Additional legislative demands include rigorous background checks for key personnel, proven industry experience, and adherence to strict technical and financial standards. Only companies with substantial capital and robust infrastructure, like Wynn Resorts and Boyd Gaming, are likely to meet these stringent requirements.
