Las Vegas, Nevada, March 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- High Roller Technologies (“High Roller” and the “Company”) (NYSE: ROLR) today announced the appointment of Andrew Walter as Chief Legal and Compliance Officer, effective immediately, replacing Sarah Stienon.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Andrew to High Roller’s executive leadership team,” said Seth Young, Chief Executive Officer at High Roller. “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 joins High Roller with extensive experience in government and commercial gaming operations. For nearly eight years, he served as Counsel and Government Affairs for the Connecticut Lottery Corporation, where he provided comprehensive in-house legal services and led governmental affairs efforts. In that role, he developed legislative strategy, drafted testimony, and worked directly with legislators and stakeholders on key policy matters, including sports betting and internet lottery legislation.
Following the repeal of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), Walter joined PointsBet, a global sports betting and online casino operator, as Senior Director of Compliance & Regulatory Affairs. There, he built and led a robust compliance department to support the company’s rapid multi-state expansion, overseeing state-by-state regulatory compliance, anti-money laundering programs, and responsible gaming initiatives across both online and retail sports betting and online casino operations.
After the passage of gaming expansion legislation in Connecticut, Walter returned to the Connecticut Lottery Corporation as the first employee hired to launch and support online and retail sports betting operations. In that capacity, he held responsibility for profit and loss performance, retail operations, and compliance oversight.
Walter holds a Bachelor of Arts in International Management from Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, and a Juris Doctor from Roger Williams University School of Law in Bristol, Rhode Island. He is admitted to practice law in the State of Connecticut.
Commenting on his appointment, Walter said, “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. 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.”
