He has considerable experience within Playtech's business and has been integral to all of the group's successful acquisitions over the last few years and worked closely with David Mathewson.

"On behalf of the board, I would like to thank David for his important contribution to Playtech, in helping the company through to raising capital and the move to the main market, and we wish him well in his future."
