Canada's Intertain Group To List In London

By Brian Cullingworth, Last updated Sep 9, 2016

Online gambling group plans to list as Jackpotjoy plc this October

The Toronto-listed online gambling group Intertain is reportedly gearing up for a London listing under the Jackpotjoy plc brand and is to hold a special shareholders meeting later this month to brief stakeholders and secure their approval.
The plan includes moving Intertain's head office infrastructure to the British capital, with the Jackpotjoy plc brand becoming the main corporate identity.
InfoPowa readers will recall that in June this year former Gala Coral chief executive Neil Goulden joined the group as chairman, together with former Sportingbet CEO Andy McIver, who is now the chief executive of Intertain and will head the new London-listed group.
Goulden said in a statement this week:
"We are excited to have reached these important milestones in implementing the UK Strategic Initiatives. We continue to believe that these initiatives will result in a fuller and more appropriate valuation of our business and that they position Intertain for long-term growth and success."
Four new non-executive directors have been appointed to the Intertain board as part of the UK strategic planning: Nigel Brewster, CFO Keith Laslop, Jörgen Nordlund and Colin Sturgeon.
Jackpot Joy founder Noel Hayden is standing down from the board but will be available as a special adviser.
Goulden explained that Hayden's decision removed "the procedural impediments that result from our close collaboration with Gamesys, which have restricted his involvement in certain aspects of the Board's deliberations over recent months."

Brian Cullingworth

Infopowa news was a staple of Casinomeister’s news from 2000 until 2019. Brian Cullingworth was the main writer, contributor, and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever known involved in the online casino industry.

We first met in January 2001 at the ICE in London where I observed him going booth to booth interviewing online casino, software, and licensing jurisdiction representatives. Brian was also heavily involved with our forum as “Jetset“, he was involved as an informal consultant to eCOGRA, the OPA, and was a player advocate who assisted countless aggrieved players with his connections to industry folks. He also published “Casino Cautions” via Infopowa news for quite a number of years. These can be found in our news archives.

His passing in February 2019 was a dark day for us. He will be forever missed.
