Robert Penfold, Head of Internal Audit

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Robert Penfold as our new Head of Internal Audit, strengthening our ability to support Isle of Man licence holders in responding to increasing regulatory scrutiny and upholding the island’s reputation for integrity.

Robert brings over 20 years of experience in governance, risk, audit, and compliance across global gaming and financial services organisations. Most notably, he spent more than eight years as Director of Internal Audit & Risk at Playtech plc, where he oversaw global audit programmes and supported complex regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions. He has also held senior roles at bwin.party digital entertainment plc and, more recently, served as Governance, Risk & Compliance Manager at the Isle of Man Government’s Attorney General Chambers.

“This is a landmark appointment for us,” said Emma Shilling, Director at eGaming Integrity. “Robert’s depth of experience, particularly his years at the helm of audit and risk at Playtech, represents a real step change for eGaming Integrity and our clients. His appointment evidences our commitment to providing heavyweight, board-level expertise to Isle of Man licence holders at a time when regulatory scrutiny has never been higher.”

Robert commented:

“I’m thrilled to be joining eGaming Integrity at such a pivotal time for the sector. I’ve spent much of my career working to ensure organisations not only meet regulatory requirements but build strong, resilient frameworks that protect their businesses and customers. I look forward to working with Emma and the team to help our clients strengthen their compliance and governance cultures.”

With Robert’s appointment, our team of industry experts and former regulators grows even stronger, reinforcing eGaming Integrity’s position as the Isle of Man’s leading provider of mock audits, remediation, and internal audit services for eGaming licence holders.
