High Roller Technologies has appointed Andrew Walter as the operator’s new Chief Legal and Compliance Officer, providing experience in the development of legislative strategy, compliance initiatives and responsible gaming activations. 

“We’re thrilled to welcome Andrew to High Roller’s executive leadership team,” High Roller CEO Seth Young said. 

“Andrew brings more than a decade of hands-on experience in gaming law, regulatory affairs and compliance across both the public and private sectors. His deep expertise in legislative strategy, regulatory compliance and operational oversight will be invaluable as we continue to expand responsibly across regulated markets.”

Walter’s appointment went into immediate effect on March 6, as the new High Roller Chief Legal and Compliance Officer officially replaced Sarah Stienon in the role. 

The compliance executive previously served as Counsel and Government Affairs for the Connecticut Lottery Corporation over an eight-year period, having provided in-house legal services and work on key policy matters. 

Walter also held the Senior Director of Compliance & Regulatory Affairs title for PointsBet following the repeal of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), supporting the operator’s “rapid” multi-state expansion. 

“I’m honored to join High Roller at such an exciting time in the company’s growth. High Roller has established itself as a premium online gaming operator with a strong commitment to innovation and player experience,” Walter said. 

“I look forward to strengthening our legal and compliance framework as we continue to grow in regulated markets and uphold the highest standards of integrity and responsible gaming.”

After Connecticut passed gaming expansion legislation, Walter re-joined the Lottery Corporation and represented its first-ever employee hired to support the launch of online and retail sports betting operations.
