RPM Gaming has appointed former Betfred USA COO Bryan Bennett as its head of US.

Bennett joins the consultancy firm having departed Betfred in September 2023. He led the UK-based operator’s US efforts since October 2019 while based out of Las Vegas.

In the interim, Bennett has held consultancy and advisory roles at Kutt and ALT Sports Data and also serves as head of US compliance for peer-to-peer platform toast.

The exec is also a consultant and strategic adviser at NorthCo Strategy.

Bennett first moved into the gaming sector with Kabam in 2008, followed by RocketPlay in 2012, before moving over to American Gaming Systems in 2016.

In a statement, RPM said it planned to scale its operation and network significantly in the US market.

The consultancy firm has three arms: Retail, Casino and Data. The company provides its services in Asia, Latam, Africa and Europe as well as the US.

Richard Thorp, founder at RPM Gaming,said: “Bryan joins our team at an exciting time as we look to double down on our US ambitions, facilitating the next generation of sports betting, igaming and tech startups in the market.

“His deep network and local marketing, compliance and fundraising know-how will be a key part of this strategy as we ramp up in the States in 2026 and beyond.”

Bennett added: “RPM Gaming is synonymous with so many success stories in the retail and igaming sectors in recent years.

“As an organisation, it has a firm footing in the US, and now, working with their expert team, I’m very confident we can scale significantly in a short period of time.”
