Rational Group hire Director of Gaming

This week so far it is all about people in the industry and that continues with the news that Sam Hobcraft who was Director of Gaming for Betfair has moved on to become Director of Gaming for the Rational Group.

There has been much speculated that the Rational Group who own PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker (FTP) would launch an online casino offering on the Full Tilt Poker platform, to help increase revenue for FTP that has seen player numberS drop over recent months.

Sam Hobcraft will certainly oversee this move by the company into online casinos as his experience with Betfair covered areas such as Product Director of Gaming & Head of Casino games.
