Coward, a Chartered Accountant who trained with PricewaterhouseCoopers, has been working in the online gaming sector for over six years. This included a three-year stint at the world’s largest poker site, Pokerstars.com, where he was swiftly promoted to the role of Forecasting, Planning and Analysis Director.

Moving to Biggerbet in May 2011, Coward was appointed as Finance Director. His role has now expanded as FREEBETS.com has grown to become one of the largest and influential affiliate sites online.

Biggerbet was founded by David Archer, himself a highly successful entrepreneur and business professional, in 2009. Archer had been managing director and joint-owner of Reuben Page and, after building up the business from six shops to 59, Archer sold the majority to Gala Coral in 2007.

Archer said: “I’m delighted to have installed Iain as Managing Director here at Biggerbet. Iain shares my vision to make betting more accessible for punters and possesses years of valuable experience in the online gaming arena. I’m confident with him at the helm we can continue our rapid progression in a very competitive market.”
