Joseph Lee has been designated Chief of Strategy and Operations at AK Bets, a fresh face in the Irish wagering landscape. Lee possesses a wealth of knowledge from his tenure at industry leader Paddy Power Betfair, where he occupied several high-level positions over six years. He is also familiar with the agility of smaller enterprises, having previously worked at Sportsbet, Matchbook Betting Exchange, and One-Zero.
Initially a conventional bookmaker focused on horse racing, AK Bets commenced operations in Killarney in 2021 and swiftly moved into the digital realm. Lee is eager to leverage his proficiency to steer AK Bets’ strategic course and foster expansion within this competitive sector. He perceives a genuine chance for ambitious contenders like AK Bets to leave their imprint, notwithstanding the consolidation occurring within the industry.
Anthony Kaminskas, the individual responsible for AK Bets, possesses significant expertise in the realm of wagering. He gained valuable experience at Paddy Power, where he held a prominent position (pun intended, he oversaw the greyhound racing operations!) in the field of equine racing risk assessment. Additionally, he collaborated with Lee in the past.
