The premier online gaming and betting company in North America, FanDuel, expanded its roster of experienced executives with the addition of a new Responsible Gaming Strategic Advisor.
The company has announced it selected the exec with decades of experience in responsible gambling and problem gambling prevention, Keith Whyte.

Designating Whyte as a Responsible Gaming Strategic Advisor comes during September, which is recognized as the Responsible Gaming Education Month.
Overall, Whyte has more than three decades of experience in the gambling sector with a particular focus on the prevention of harm and responsible gambling.
Throughout his extensive career, he served as the Executive Director of the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) for more than 25 years.
At that time, he oversaw key processes related to raising awareness of treatment and support services to people affected by gambling harm.
Moreover, Whyte is recognized for his extensive industry knowledge and solid business relationships on a state and national level.
This makes him the perfect choice to strengthen FanDuel's responsible gaming efforts.

"FanDuel has consistently demonstrated industry-leading commitment to Responsible Gaming, and I've long admired their proactive approach," he revealed.
Finally, Whyte pointed out: "I'm thrilled to join the team and contribute my experience to further advancing FanDuel's efforts in promoting safe and responsible play."
Late last month, FanDuel announced the launch of its new peer-to-peer fantasy sports product, FanDuel Picks.
Launching to customers in 17 states, the new product promises exceptional experiences to bettors and sports fans alike.

Joining FanDuel as Responsible Gaming Strategic Advisor, Whyte will help drive the company's Responsible Gaming strategy as well as programs.
In his role, he will identify new opportunities that can raise awareness, including partnerships and collaborations.
What's more, Whyte will play a major role in the development of events that promote a culture of Responsible Gaming.
