Bruce has an impressive pedigree in the space and has already proven that he can deliver results. We look forward to feeling his impact on the development of our poker strategy."

The brand values that Betfair extols fit with my personal views on how an online gaming site should operate and I think that they put Betfair in a unique position to become a major player in the online poker sector."
