Gambling expert Keith Whyte is appointed as Strategic Advisor for Gaming Responsibility at FanDuel

FanDuel, a leading online gaming and betting company in North America, has expanded its executive team with the appointment of Keith Whyte as its new Responsible Gaming Strategic Advisor.

Whyte, an industry expert with over three decades of experience, has spent more than 25 years serving as the Executive Director of the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG). He is also the founder and president of Safer Gambling Strategies LLC, working with various corporate, government, and non-profit clients focused on responsible gambling and problem gambling prevention.

Recently, Whyte has served as a responsible gaming strategic advisor to FanDuel, and his new role will see him driving the company's Responsible Gaming strategy and programs.

FanDuel has consistently demonstrated an industry-leading commitment to Responsible Gaming. The company's dedication to this area will be further strengthened with Whyte's appointment.

In his new role, Whyte will identify new opportunities for raising awareness, including partnerships and collaborations. He will also contribute to ongoing responsible gaming initiatives by FanDuel, such as consulting on the company's Trusted Voices: Conversations About Betting program and other initiatives.

Whyte will play a major role in the development of events that promote a culture of Responsible Gaming. He will help create new content for FanDuel's existing Trusted Voices program and other initiatives.

Cory Fox, FanDuel's Senior Vice President, Public Policy and Sustainability, welcomed Whyte to the team. "We are honoured to have Keith join our team as a strategic advisor for our responsible gaming programming," Fox said. "Keith's extensive experience and industry knowledge will be invaluable as we continue to prioritise responsible gaming and promote safe and responsible play."

Whyte expressed his excitement about joining FanDuel. "I am thrilled to be joining FanDuel at such an exciting time," he said. "The company's commitment to Responsible Gaming is unparalleled, and I look forward to contributing to its efforts in this area."

The appointment comes during Responsible Gaming Education Month, a period recognised by the industry to raise awareness about the importance of responsible gaming. FanDuel has also recently launched a new peer-to-peer fantasy sports product called FanDuel Picks, available to customers in 17 states.

With Whyte's experience and expertise, FanDuel is poised to continue setting the industry standard for Responsible Gaming, further strengthening its leadership in this space.
