Matt further strengthens Roar’s foundations and will help us compete for leadership over time as the US market evolves.”
While Prevost himself added:
“I am thrilled to join the team at Roar at this historic time for the US sports betting and gaming sector. The combination of brands, technology, and market access of the two parent companies will provide a significant opportunity to build a world class sports-betting operation in the US”.
