Oddschecker Global Media has announced the appointment of Stuart Simms as new CEO, effective 1 November. The announcement sees Oddschecker complete its eight-month search to find a new leader to replace Toby Bentall, who stood down as CEO in March.

Simms is the former Chief Executive of rival online gambling publisher XLMedia Plc (2019-2022), who departed the London AIM business last April.

Recognised as the leading sportsbook affiliate for the UK and Australian markets, Oddschecker has transformed into a new media asset of Bruin Capital.

An investment fund for sports and entertainment, Bruin Capital acquired Oddschecker from Flutter Entertainment this summer for £155m.
