PointsBet Announces Second U.S.-Based Headquarters in Denver, Colorado

Technology-focused Denver hub to expand PointsBet presence in Western U.S. on heels of new President, Product and Technology announcement

PointsBet, a premier global sportsbook operator, announced a new U.S.-based headquarters in Colorado, set to extend the company’s footprint beginning October 2019. The downtown Denver hub will serve as PointsBet USA’s western base of operations, maintaining a focus on product innovation and technology recruitment moving forward.

The announcement is bolstered by the recent appointment of Manjit Gombra Singh as PointsBet President, Product and Technology. As an industry veteran and former Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of leading global gaming technologies provider Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX: ALL), Manjit brings a track record in delivering leading product and technology strategy for mobile, social and traditional casino gaming products. His arrival is strategically timed with PointsBet’s continued U.S. expansion to the prosperous tech market in Denver, where PointsBet will utilize the strong university network throughout Colorado to help install a foundation for prolonged success.

“The PointsBet team is excited to join the great state of Colorado in establishing a new, Denver headquarters,” noted Johnny Aitken, PointsBet USA’s Chief Executive Officer. “It’s a sports-loving, tech hub that is also in a great location for us strategically. We can’t wait to have a presence in the area and have access to some of the best and brightest minds as we continue to grow.”

The announcement is also welcomed by the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT), the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation (Metro Denver EDC) and the City of Denver as the Centennial State explores the potential to welcome sports betting.

“We are happy to welcome a strong global technology company that is fueling industry innovation,” said Michelle Hadwiger, Director of Global Business Development for the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade. “PointsBet’s arrival underscores a continued trend of Australian companies choosing Colorado for our strategic location and access to tech talent needed to expand their operations.”

“Metro Denver EDC is thrilled to welcome PointsBet to Colorado. The company’s commitment to technology development, innovation, and great-quality jobs make it a perfect fit for the Metro Denver region. We look forward to supporting PointsBet’s long-term growth in Colorado,” said Sam Bailey, Metro Denver EDC’s Vice President of Economic Development.
