“I’ve seen firsthand how Sightline’s innovations have modernized payments within the gaming industry, and I’m thrilled to play an integral role in helping the company grow. I now enjoy a 360 degree view of risk and anti-money laundering in gaming, from the operator through the platform to the supplier,” Larry Whelan, Sightline’s new Director of Risk, said.
“As digital payment options become more prevalent in U.S. casinos, we must ensure regulators understand how payments fit within the broader gaming industry. I’m excited to join the Sightline team and their expanding team of experts from across the gaming and payments industries,” Shannon Nadeau, Sightline’s new Director of Regulatory and Licensing Compliance, said.
