Phil Pearson has announced his resignation as the Chief Executive Officer of White Label Casinos, reflecting on his initial role, describing it as “way over my head.”
His departure marks the end of a notable tenure that began in 2017 when he joined the company, then operating as iGaming Group, as Head of Sales.
This spurred him to dedicate himself fully, stating he “spent the next year working every hour in the calendar to try and learn as much as possible. Then realized it wasn’t enough and noticed this industry changes faster than you learn it.”
In 2023, the company underwent a significant change, splitting into two entities, with Pearson selected to lead White Label Casinos as CEO.
During his time, he highlighted not only regulatory successes in Sweden and key financial achievements but also emphasized his dedication to fostering a positive work environment.
Phil Pearson stated he is most proud of “[trying] to promote the ethos of inclusion, internal promotion, knowledge sharing and growth, from the first day to my last.”
Pearson also shared several memorable personal anecdotes from his career, including
Vape sessions with people in the office, explaining why weed farms will not guarantee you make a fortune on the stock market with leverage to my HR team who had a ‘good idea’, breaking my toe in a raft, rescuing a member of staff from deportation by calling the head of immigration, and gambling on people in a gambling industry.
Regarding his future, Pearson plans to take a break from the industry for the next few months to enjoy cricket.
While nothing is set in stone, he expressed aspirations to establish an animal sanctuary or a sandwich shop, or possibly both, with “very defined food safety guidelines.”
This announcement follows recent news from The Star Entertainment, which also confirmed changes to its executive team as it works to improve governance and restore regulatory confidence.
