PointsBet Canada Appoints Brett Jackman as Vice President of Strategy

PointsBet, a premier global online gaming operator, has appointed Brett Jackman as the new Vice President of Strategy for PointsBet Canada. Jackman will report to PointsBet Canada CEO Scott Vanderwel.
Jackman holds nearly 15 years of professional experience as a strategy and transformation leader, advising large North American companies on their growth strategy initiatives and top priorities, including new market and product launches, enterprise transformations, and M&A.
“The opening of the regulated iGaming market in Ontario represents one of the most exciting business opportunities within Canada in recent memory. As the industry collectively continues to build, we know this space will soon touch so many Canadians from coast to coast to coast. I look forward to playing a role in ensuring that PointsBet Canada capitalizes on this incredible opportunity and delivers a truly authentic and differentiated product experience for Canadian sports fans,” Jackman said.
Jackman joins PointsBet Canada from Rogers Communications (RCI), where he was Senior Director of Corporate Strategy, serving as a top strategic advisor and thought partner to senior leadership while helping drive long-term strategy across RCI’s core business units. Most recently, he played a key role in RCI’s efforts to bring high-speed connectivity to underserved rural and indigenous households across Ontario and Atlantic Canada. Jackman also was instrumental in RCI’s $26 billion deal to acquire Shaw Communications. Prior to his time at Rogers, Jackman was a senior consultant with Accenture Strategy, a global business strategy consultancy where he focused on clients in the technology, media, and telecommunications sectors.
“Brett’s expertise and vision will be absolutely crucial in helping shape PointsBet Canada’s priorities as we forge further ahead into the budding sports betting landscape. As our commitment so far has shown, PointsBet Canada has big ambitions, and I am thrilled to have Brett alongside us moving forward to help shape and drive our growth agenda, building upon the strong foundation we’ve assembled thus far,” said PointsBet Canada Chief Executive Officer Scott Vanderwel.

Prime Skill Games Inc. Official Response to AGCO Press Release

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.
Let me be perfectly clear
Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.
Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.
We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.
We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.
To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.
Sincerely
Matt ZamroĹşniak
Chief Executive Officer
