FSB, the market-leading sports betting & iGaming technology provider, has appointed US retail and online gambling veteran Bob Akeret as Vice President of Operations, North America, as the company gets ready to launch into the North American market.

Based in New Jersey, he will be responsible for fine-tuning the provider’s cutting-edge product and service offering for the market, including assisting FSB’s business development team in localising its retail and online sportsbook technologies.

He will also build relationships with third parties such as payment providers and data suppliers required to succeed in the US, as well as identify new business opportunities for FSB in the US market. Akeret will report directly to FSB  COO Glenn Elliott.

Akeret joins FSB from Resorts Digital Gaming where he was Director of Operations and Customer Experience. During his time at Resorts Digital, he launched the operator’s first retail and online sportsbook in New Jersey, ResportsCasino.com, as well as its FSB-powered DFS site, FastPick.com.

His experience covers product launch, project management, acquisition and retention marketing, user experience, user journeys, team building, risk management and regulatory compliance.

Dave McDowell, CEO of FSB, said: “Bob is one of the most experienced retail and online gambling executives in North America and I am delighted to welcome him to the team. Securing Bob is a real coup for FSB as we prepare to enter the North American market with our leading technology.

“We see huge potential for our products and services as the US market continues to roll out and with Bob on board, we will be able to make sure our technologies meet the exact needs of operators and players across North America.”

Bob Akeret, Vice President of Operations, North America, at FSB, said: “I am extremely excited by the opportunity to join FSB and showcase my gaming experience in the US market where there are tremendous opportunities for the business.

“FSB has seen incredible growth over the past few years and I believe the most recent commitment from Clairvest solidifies this. As we fine tune our product for the market and continue to build out our US team, I really do believe we are in a great position to succeed.”

Omnichannel sports betting and iGaming platform provider FSB has reached an agreement with United Tote to showcase their new state-of-the art retail product at the prestigious hardware suppliers booth during next month’s Global Gaming Expo (G2E).

Fresh from a recently announced sports wagering agreement in South Dakota, FSB will see their next generation retail offering elevated into prominence at the popular United Tote booth during the first week of October. In return, FSB will continue to deploy United Tote’s leading self-service sports betting kiosks at their own G2E booth space, cementing the partnership further.

Powered by a single-view cross-vertical platform, the FSB retail solution gives operators full visibility on real-time liabilities, remote terminal balance management and cutting-edge customisable front-end displays. These features are further supported by a comprehensive suite of real-time reports that empower FSB’s customers to optimize their offering at rapid pace.

Bob Akeret, Vice President of Operations, North America, at FSB, said:

“It’s a tremendous honor for us to partner with United Tote and have our retail front ends showcased at their booth at G2E. We’ve worked closely with them this summer at NIGA, OIGA and WIGA and have benefitted from their world class maintenance and support services. Their hardware will once again be proudly showcased at our booth at G2E.

“United Tote lead the way when it comes to self-service betting kiosks and to have our solution exhibited at their booth during this major event is a huge vote of confidence in the quality of our offering.”

G2E will take place at Venetian Expo at Las Vegas between October 4-7.

FSB will be exhibiting at Booth 1216

United Tote will be exhibiting at Booth 3809
