Tom Waterhouse, Australian online betting’s formerly inescapable face, has launched a new tip-selling service for Aussie race bettors, particularly those with money to burn.
Last week, Australian media reported that Tom Waterhouse had stepped down from his role as CEO of William Hill Australia, which was recently acquired by rival online betting operator CrownBet, which was itself recently acquired by Canadian gaming giant The Stars Group.
Waterhouse formerly ran his own eponymous online betting outfit, until he sold out to William Hill in 2013. Waterhouse was subsequently named CEO of Hills’ expanded Australian operations, but the latest round of acquisition-a-go-go reportedly tagged him as yesterday’s man, so out he goes.
Waterhouse reportedly signed a two-year non-compete clause before collecting his severance, but the deal apparently doesn’t preclude Waterhouse selling his alleged betting expertise to the great unwashed masses of Australian bettors.
