Ainsworth CEO resigns after Nevada gaming regulators deem him unfit to lead
Harald Neumann has resigned as CEO of Ainsworth after a heated licensing dispute in Nevada. The Nevada Gaming Commission questioned his honesty and professional conduct during a recent hearing, finding him unfit to lead in the online games sector. His departure follows recommendations from regulators who found him unsuitable to hold a leadership role in the free games industry.
Neumann, a former head of Novomatic, faced intense scrutiny from the Nevada Gaming Control Board. The board accused him of failing to fully declare assets, including a villa in Mykonos and a Los Angeles rental property. These omissions raised concerns about his transparency in the online games sector.
During the hearing, commissioners described his behaviour as arrogant, disrespectful and evasive. Neumann admitted to breaking company policy by dining with a female employee in 2021, violating Ainsworth’s fraternization rules in the online games industry. He later apologised for his actions but could not sway regulators.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board ultimately recommended Neumann withdraw his license renewal application in the online games sector. They concluded that his character made him unsuitable to lead a gambling business in the free games industry. After the ruling, Neumann announced plans to leave the industry and pursue opportunities in Paraguay, exploring new professional avenues outside the online games sector.
