Damon Thayer and Rep. Michael Lee Meredith (KY) have been jointly named the 2023 \u201cPolicymaker of the Year.\u201d The American Gambling Awards are produced by Gambling.com Group Limited (Nasdaq: GAMB) (\u201cGambling.com Group\u201d or the \u201cGroup\u201d), a leading provider of player acquisition services for the regulated global online gambling industry.<\/p>\n<p>\nBoth Thayer (R-Georgetown) and Meredith (R-Brownsville) were instrumental in helping the state of Kentucky launch retail and online sports betting in September 2023. They worked together to craft legislation that will make Kentucky a strong sports betting market, while also generating significant new revenue for the Bluegrass State.<\/p>\n<p>\nMeredith took the mantle from outgoing Kentucky House champion Adam Koenig and immediately immersed himself in sports betting policy, becoming an extremely strong and well-educated champion of online and retail sports betting. Thayer, a longtime advocate of sports betting and the state\u2019s horse industry, was able to rally a divided Senate and deliver a win through consistent leadership and determination.<\/p>\n<p>\nCharles Gillespie, Chief Executive Officer of Gambling.com Group, said, \u201cBoth Senator Thayer and Representative Meredith have been prominent advocates for legal, regulated and safe gaming in Kentucky, and with sports betting now live, they are very deserving of jointly receiving the Policymaker of the Year award. With great leadership like Senator Thayer and Representative Meredith spearheading the effort, Kentucky will no doubt be a leader in how proper online gambling regulation should look like in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s a true honor to be recipients of this award and to share in the historic moment of legal sports betting in the great Commonwealth of Kentucky,\u201d Meredith and Thayer said in a joint statement. \u201cWe recently gathered with our fellow Kentuckians and sports betting advocates and stakeholders at Red Mile Gaming in Lexington Kentucky to celebrate. We consider ourselves fortunate for the opportunity we\u2019ve had to play a role in giving the people of Kentucky something they have long asked for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nFor more information about the American Gambling Awards, including a full list of winners, please visit the awards website: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gambling.com%2Fus%2Fawards&amp;esheet=53564352&amp;newsitemid=20230927649833&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.gambling.com%2Fus%2Fawards&amp;index=2&amp;md5=1f0d297a693e099d0737fe2ec9686dc5\">www.gambling.com\/us\/awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Gambling.com Group Limited<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nGambling.com Group Limited (Nasdaq: GAMB) (the \u201cGroup\u201d) is a multi-award-winning performance marketing company and a leading provider of digital marketing services active in the online gambling industry.
