Betfair names CEO for U.S. business interests

Betfair Group has appointed Kip Levin as chief executive officer of its U.S. interests comprising TVG, America’s Horseracing Network (AHN) and New Jersey online operation Betfair Casino.

Levin will lead and manage all aspects of the U.S. business operations, including the development and execution of regional strategies while ensuring alignment with other Betfair Group geographic regions and global business functions.

A former senior executive at Live Nation and Ticketmaster over the past twelve years, Levin most recently served as Executive Vice President of Ticketmaster’s multi-billion dollar e-commerce business.

Levin will report to Breon Corcoran, chief executive officer of the Betfair Group, who said:  “We are pleased that Kip has joined Betfair to lead our U.S. operations. His expertise in e-commerce, multi-product strategy, mobile and large scale business operations are a great fit to Betfair’s U.S. and global business strategy.”

“I am thrilled to be joining Betfair at such an exciting time for the iGaming industry in the U.S. and across the globe,” added Levin. I am passionate about building great products that fundamentally enhance consumer experiences. With the launch of BetfairCasino.com in New Jersey, the new HD upgrades at TVG, and a record-breaking day during the Kentucky Derby, Betfair US has great momentum, and is well positioned to be a market leader. Together with the Betfair team, I’m looking forward to delivering the future of online gaming.”
