Fanatics Betting and Gaming has hired former Pointsbet executive Chris Bukowski as new Director of Customer Acquisition.

Posting on LinkedIn Chris said: I am thrilled to announce that I have joined Fanatics as Director of Customer Acquisition! After an incredible 3+ years at PointsBet, I’m embarking on a new chapter in my career journey.

This transition is particularly unique as PointsBet was recently acquired by Fanatics, making this move even more meaningful for me. I am eager to bring my expertise in gaming and acquisition to contribute to Fanatics’ continued success and growth in the industry.

I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to Johnny Aitken and Ron Shell for their unwavering support, mentorship, and guidance during my time at PointsBet. Your leadership has been invaluable, and I am truly grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to learn and grow under your guidance. You both have become part of my extended family and I am forever indebted to you for taking a chance on me. I’ll forever bleed PointsBet red and black.

I’m incredibly excited about this new opportunity and look forward to working with the talented team at Fanatics to drive continued growth and success.

Special thanks to Seth Young for making the initial introduction to the PointsBet family and helping me break into the gaming industry.
