Huddle hires Dylan Mitchard as VP of Business Development to spearhead global growth
Huddle, the next generation iGaming technology provider, can today announce the appointment of Dylan Mitchard as its VP of Business Development.
Mitchard will be responsible for creating strategic business partnerships and driving new revenue streams globally, as Huddle continues its growth following investment from Las Vegas Sands and a merger with American odds specialist DeckPrism Sports.
He was hired in part thanks to his extensive experience in both the technology and iGaming industries, having started his career at GlobalData Plc as a Business Development Executive before being promoted to Global Business Development Manager less than a year after his appointment.
This role was followed by more than three years as Business Development Manager at Genius Sports and a year as Head of Business Development – Virtual Sports at leading game provider Inspired Entertainment.
Launched in 2020, Huddle builds products leveraging a microservices model – developing and deploying components, the first of which are trading, odds feeds and risk technology.
The company represents one of the most forward-thinking and progressive suppliers in the rapidly changing industry, building advanced, proprietary data-driven technology solutions designed to transform the user experience and unlock the true potential of iGaming operators.
Huddle’s software is powered by AI and machine learning tools to analyse behavioural data, helping operators increase efficiencies across multiple jurisdictions, manage and optimise risk and shape the sportsbook stars of the future.
Leo Gaspar, Chief Business Development Officer, Huddle, said: “We at Huddle are really excited about Dylan joining us as VP of Business Development. Dylan has extensive industry expertise and deep knowledge of the whole ecosystem and its complexity. More importantly, we see him as a great cultural fit. I am honoured that he will be working alongside me in building our business development vertical from the ground up. We wish Dylan all the best in his new role.”
Dylan Mitchard, VP of Business Development, Huddle, said: “I’m excited to join Huddle and I’m looking forward to my new role. With the recent merger with DeckPrism Sports and the financial backing of Las Vegas Sands, it is clear that Huddle has developed a market leading trading product, which is already being used by tier 1 operators. I am looking forward to implementing a strategy to help drive the business forward and further understand the demands of sportsbook operators worldwide, to help shape and build a world class trading and risk solution.”

Neosurf & Betting Hero to reveal results of their in-depth study into US online gambling and payment habits in exclusive two-part webinar series
Neosurf, the globally trusted provider of swift and secure cash-to-digital payment solutions, has announced it will be sharing the findings of a recent study into the online betting habits, preferences and frustrations of US players in an exclusive two-part webinar series beginning on January 14th.
Neosurf commissioned the research via Betting Hero – a leading US-based iGaming portal with expertise in casino, sports betting and DFS. The webinars will see Neosurf CEO Americas, Sue Page, Betting Hero’s Co-Founder and President, Jai Maw, and Senior Director of Product and Research, Ernie Ropas, dive into the report’s key findings and discuss what some of the more surprising results could mean for operators.
The survey, which featured respondents from New Jersey, Colorado and North Carolina, aimed to help operators and regulators within the gambling industry better understand the typical US bettor – how and why they bet, what tools they use to manage their budget and what Responsible Gaming means to them. The findings will be revealed in the webinars and used to identify areas where Neosurf’s products can help operators provide a better user experience.
The research highlighted several aspects of payments and responsible gaming that bettors felt could be improved. Problems with payments remain an issue – 52% of respondents said that they’d experienced payment issues in the past year, and with over 50% depositing and withdrawing multiple times each month, there is a significant cost impact to the operators.
Additionally, respondents indicated they’d be in favour of using a service that could share pre-verified ID information with operators, with ease of use for new payment methods and seamless integration across multiple platforms identified as important factors in their choosing and remaining loyal to a single sports betting platform.
Sue Page, Neosurf CEO Americas, said: “It was important to us to gain a more detailed insight into the US sports bettor. We wanted to talk to the players and ask questions that no one else is asking, and through our collaboration with Betting Hero I’m delighted that we now have a comprehensive piece of research.
“Offering valuable insights into player habits – how and why they bet, the ongoing pain points they’re experiencing with payments and their thoughts on Responsible Gaming—we’ll be taking a deep dive into the results of the survey in our two-part webinar series starting at 10:00 ET on January 14th, and we encourage all US-focused operators and regulators to join us.”
