Introducing Nick Bowden, Director of eGaming Integrity, who brings a rich blend of expertise and enthusiasm to his role. Nick's journey in the gambling industry and his commitment to compliance make him an invaluable asset to our team.
Nick holds an ICA International Diploma in Anti-Money Laundering and a Specialist Certificate in Money Laundering Risk in Betting & Gaming, along with a BSc in Health & Sports Studies from the University of Huddersfield. His educational background complements his professional journey seamlessly.
Nick has spent his entire life on the Isle of Man, with the last ten years in the charming village of Laxey. He and his wife, Samantha, share a long history together, having been a couple since they were 17 and now parents to two beautiful daughters, Emira and Elsie.
Professionally, Nick began his career with a contracting company on the Isle of Man, where he advanced to New Business and Compliance Manager, overseeing a significant team. He later joined the Isle of Man Government's Income Tax Division before taking a pivotal turn towards the gambling sector as an Inspector for the Gambling Supervision Commission. This role paved the way for his position at leading egaming consultancy, SolutionsHub.
Nick's passion for the gambling sector blossomed through his interactions with diverse business models and operators. He has worked directly with clients, ensuring their compliance needs are met while fostering their business development, and his roles expanded to include board responsibilities and MLRO duties for licensed operators.
Nick's enthusiasm for his work at SolutionsHub was rooted in the company's strong team spirit and reputation with the Isle of Man regulator.
Joining forces with Emma Shilling to launch eGaming Integrity, Nick now looks to address a critical gap in the market by offering tailored compliance services for operators and CSPs and is proud to contribute to a team that prioritizes exceptional service and compliance.
Outside of work, Nick cherishes time with his family, enjoys golf, and is an active participant in local fell races, including the Manx Mountain Marathon. A film enthusiast and dedicated Liverpool fan, Nick balances his professional and personal life with a love for running and an upcoming marathon challenge in Chester.
Not widely known, he experienced a dramatic encounter with a jellyfish that led to a hospital stay and has a background in playing the piano.
Nick's blend of professional acumen, dedication to family, and personal interests make him a standout member of the eGaming Integrity team.
