US.- Score Media and Gaming has announced the appointment of Josh Sidsworth as General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer, with immediate effect. Sidsworth will be based at theScore’s head office in Toronto.
The new CCO will lead all legal, regulatory and compliance matters for the company. He will support the multi-state rollout of the company’s mobile sportsbook, theScore Bet. Sidsworth has extensive experience in the gaming space, most recently as EVP Corporate Development and General Counsel for the NRT Group of Companies.
John Levy, Founder and CEO of theScore, said: “We are very excited that Josh has joined theScore team. His extensive experience will be invaluable as we plan and execute the expansion of our gaming business – from our initial footprint in New Jersey to a multi-state presence across the United States.”
Sidsworth said: “I’ve always been a huge fan of theScore and their authentic way of connecting with sports fans. Building on this connection by offering users an integrated sports media and betting experience is truly unique, and I’m thrilled to be joining the team to help them deliver on this vision.”
theScore unveiled new integration
The company recently unveiled a new suite of innovative integrations that link the company’s media and sports betting platforms. FUSE creates improved navigation between theScore and its mobile sportsbook theScore Bet.
FUSE is available for iOS devices and allows users to create bets slips from within the sports app. It includes markets for moneylines, spreads, and totals. Score Media said that users can log in using Face ID®, which dramatically reduces the time to complete the wager.
To access the new integrations, theScore Bet users must have ‘Bet Mode’ activated on theScore media app on the same device. Currently, to place a wager on theScore Bet, users must be physically located in the state of New Jersey.
