Levy lead theScore Bet’s launch in Ontario in April 2022. He also lead the competition of theScore’s proprietary technology stack in July 2022.
Before that, Levy played an important role in building theScore’s television business. He also oversaw its sale to Rogers Media in 2012.
Levy exited the business, as well as three of his family members, in early 2024.
