RPM GAMING STRENGTHENS LEADERSHIP TEAM WITH APPOINTMENT OF BRYAN BENNETT AS HEAD OF U.S.

FORMER BETFRED USA COO BRINGS DEEP OPERATIONAL, REGULATORY, AND COMMERCIAL EXPERIENCE TO SUPPORT RPM’S FAST-GROWING U.S. FOOTPRINT

RPM Gaming, specialists in retail and online betting and gaming, has bolstered its leadership team and North American presence with the appointment of industry veteran Bryan Bennett as its Head of U.S.

Bennett joins the RPM Gaming team having spent much of the last decade dedicated to consultancy and advisory roles across the iGaming ecosystem, developing a wealth of experience with startups and established companies in the sports betting, social gaming, and sports tech spaces.

Rising through tech roles at Verizon and AOL, Bennett moved into the gaming sector with Kabam, then RocketPlay, before taking up the position of SVP at American Gaming Systems, and then COO at Betfred USA. Since 2023, he has been involved in senior advisory positions with the likes of Tangelo Games, ALT Sports Data, and Toast as part of his independent NorthCo Strategy enterprise.

Bennett’s broad experience across multiple verticals and specific expertise within the U.S. market allows RPM Gaming to cement its focus in the region, where it has plans to scale its operation and network significantly in the coming months, ensuring its partners have more seamless access to growth opportunities in the world’s most exciting sports betting and gaming marketplace.

Richard Thorp, Founder at RPM Gaming, said: “Bryan joins our team at an exciting time as we look to double down on our U.S. ambitions, facilitating the next generation of sports betting, iGaming, and tech start-ups in the market. His deep network and local marketing, compliance, and fundraising know-how will be a key part of this strategy as we ramp up in the States in 2026 and beyond.”

Bryan Bennett, RPM Gaming’s Head of U.S., added: “RPM Gaming is synonymous with so many success stories in the retail and iGaming sectors in recent years. As an organization, it has a firm footing in the U.S., and now, working with their expert team, I’m very confident that we can scale significantly in a short period of time.

“Working in senior marketing, regulatory, and operational positions across various verticals in the U.S. betting industry means I know where the opportunities and challenges lie for its new entrants. As a collective, we’re very well-positioned to drive brand growth as the U.S. matures at pace from both a consumer and operator perspective.”
