About Leon Hughes
A highly accomplished entrepreneur with a legacy spanning two decades in international iGaming and sports publishing, Leon has consistently turned premium digital real estate into market leading data portals. His industry footprint includes serving as the former Managing Director of Freebets.co.uk, where he built one of the UK's most successful player acquisition frameworks.
Leon's history in mainstream British football sponsorship includes orchestrating a historic, multi year official shirt sponsorship deal with Rochdale AFC, as well as a high profile stadium footprint as the Official Main Club Sponsor for EFL League Two side Newport County AFC through his premium brand, interbet.com.
Following a highly strategic operational pause, Leon is spearheading the official global relaunch of interbet.com early next year, positioning it to rejoin his network as a primary sports wagering asset.
Leon at CasinoSites
At CasinoSites, Leon directs the core enterprise strategy, international market expansions and technical database development pipelines.
By establishing non-commercial, zero affiliate regulatory clearinghouses like the International Register of Licensed Gambling (irlg.org), his vision has shifted the entire portfolio away from traditional directory models into an institutional grade consumer utility platform, backed by real world regulatory compliance and an elite advisory board of world champions and Olympic legends.
