Brear Moves to Gibraltar

The Gibraltar Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA) is gaining a new key executive this coming October as the Chief Executive has announced the appointment of the new head of the GRA. The position was recently vacated and Phill Brear will now oversee the online casino operations in Gibraltar rather than his current position in the UK. Online casinos regulations in the UK have changed and take effect on September 1, 2007; but the UK Gambling Commission will have to go on without Brear and his expertise as the Director of Operations as Brear prepares to make the move to Gibraltar.

The online casino industry is changing rapidly, and will only continue to do so in the coming years. Gibraltar is extremely well-known in the “e-gambling industry” as the “hub of a global industry that aspires to the highest standards in socially responsible and transparent services,” says Paul Canessa, a chief executive at the GRA. Canessa also notes Brear’s previous experience in the online casinos industry and comments, “Phill brings strength in depth from his role as one of the top team with the UK Gambling Commission."

Brear’s experience at the UK Gambling Commission allowed him to truly shape the UK’s policy, implementation, and standards regarding online casinos. He has extensive international business experience and the honed business sense of someone who has managed huge numbers of employees and billion dollar companies. He makes the move to Gibraltar with plans to further develop Gibraltar’s position in the online casinos industry. He comments, “Gibraltar has a first class reputation in these areas and as the industry comes under increasing demand and international scrutiny we must ensure that reputation goes from strength to strength. I am keen to build on the strong and productive relationships we have with all our operators, including our traditional gambling operators, and work with them to move our position forward."
