Live88 appoints Simon Field as Managing Director

Live88, an award-winning supplier of live casino content, has strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of Simon Field as Managing Director, a move that reinforces the company’s international expansion efforts.

Field joins Live88 after two years as Director of Live Casino Strategy and Development at Bally’s Interactive, where he spearheaded the launch of the operator’s live dealer studio in Rhode Island. With almost a decade of senior leadership experience across the live casino sector, he was formerly CCO at OnAir Entertainment, Head of Commercial and Business Control at NetEnt and Commercial/Business Controller at Evolution Gaming.

The appointment follows a strong period of growth for Live88 following its launch in 2024, with multiple global partnerships, the release of premium live casino titles and a ‘Rising Star’ award on its list of successes.

The addition of Field as Managing Director marks the third high-profile leadership hire for the Yolo Group this year, building further momentum after Lara Falzon joined as the CEO of the company’s B2B brands in July, followed by Will Fyler, who stepped into the role of Managing Director for Odds88, its sports aggregation platform.

Lara Falzon, CEO of Yolo’s B2B brands, said:

Welcoming Simon is a significant milestone for Live88 as we continue to reinvent the live casino space. His deep expertise in scaling global operations and his reputation for delivering record results make him the ideal leader to guide Live88 through its next phase. Live88 is all about elevating the live casino experience and with Simon at the helm, we will continue to push the boundaries and exceed the expectations of our partners and players. 

Simon Field, Managing Director at Live88, said:

Live casino is most successful when it is bold, entertaining and high quality. Live88 has quickly established itself as a disruptor, with a clear vision for redefining the vertical. I’m delighted to join such a hard-working and creative team as we work towards a shared goal of delivering a new standard in premium live casino entertainment.
