You're making the biggest decisions of your career alone.
The higher you go, the fewer people you can actually talk to.
Your board needs you certain. Your team needs you certain. Half your network are competitors. And the people closest to you outside work don't understand what it's like.
So you carry the weight alone
That's not a networking problem. It's a leadership problem. Here's how we fix that.
Join The iGaming Leader Mastermind
We match you into an Inner Circle of five peers at your level of seniority, from different companies, with no conflicts of interest. Every member has 15+ years in iGaming leading teams of 20 or more. You meet one hour a week, and they act as your personal advisory board.
The weekly session
One hour a week with your Inner Circle.
Two minutes to present your biggest decision, challenge or opportunity.
Eight minutes of feedback from people who've made that decision before.
Then rotate, so everyone gets a hot seat, every week.
Most members say they get as much from the fifty minutes of listening and advising others as from the ten minutes on their own hot seat.
Matched based on your goals, challenges and personality
Every six weeks, you set a sprint goal for the cycle ahead. Then you're matched with peers focused on similar challenges: scaling, restructuring, exiting, a career step, an M&A decision. You're not just with people at your level. You're with people solving your problem.
Everything around the Inner Circle
The weekly session is the centrepiece. Around it sits everything that keeps you moving between sessions.
Private Inner Circle community
Daily accountability between sessions. Say you'll do it on Tuesday, and someone asks you about it on Thursday.
Monthly Roundtables
One member, one challenge, feedback from the entire mastermind. Fifty minutes of perspective on the thing keeping you up at night.
Closed-door expert sessions
Recent guests: Paris Smith, Andrew Bulloss, Savvas Fallas, and founders sharing stories they'd never put on a conference stage.
Quarterly 1:1 executive coaching
Four private sessions a year on where you're heading, not just what's on fire this week.
In-person meetups
Around ICE, SBC, iGB Live, G2E and SiGMA. No extra travel. You're going anyway.
Why not just...
A coach helps you think it through, but they haven't sat where you're sitting.
Your network gives you contacts, not confidants, and the ones who understand your situation are competing with you or selling to you.
Your board gives you oversight, and some things you can't rehearse in front of the people evaluating you.
Your team gives you execution, and they need you certain.
Your Inner Circle is the piece that's missing: five experienced peers whose only agenda is helping you make better decisions. No politics. No selling. No pretending you've got everything under control.
"It's the one hour a week where I can come up for air"
The one room where you don't have to perform.
There are things you can't say to your team. Things you can't say to your network. Things you won't even say to your spouse. This is where you say them.
Every member signs an NDA. Nothing leaves the room. And because everyone in your circle carries the same weight, nobody is impressed by the polished version. No makeup. No facade. Just battle scars we learn from.
Here's what our members have to say
"An hour a week. Ten hours back."
"I thought I'd exhausted all my options. I hadn't."
"That 'oh, I'm not the only one' realisation and being able to take the mask off and just be me is priceless."
"As a bootstrap founder with no shareholders or board to lean on, I don't have an equal counterpart. What I've found here is people who've been doing this as long as me, running bigger businesses than mine, opening up about the same things."
"Say you're doing a 40-hour week. It's one hour out of it. 2.5%. The ROI from that 2.5% is going to be better than the other 97.5% of your week."
"When you sit at the top of a company, there isn't anyone chasing you. It set me free."
Am I the right fit?
The Mastermind is a great fit if:
You're a VP, Director, C-suite executive or Founder
You have 15+ years in iGaming and lead a team of 20 or more, or carry real P&L
You're tired of shallow networking, inflated success stories and noisy communities
You want somewhere genuinely confidential to talk about the decisions you're facing
You're confident you'd pass our No Dickheads Allowed (NDA) policy
If that's not you yet, this isn't the right time. And that's fine.
Joining takes three steps
Apply for membership
Answer a few quick questions online so we know who you are and why you want to join. It takes less than five minutes.
Book a suitability call
We'll set up a call to work out together whether this is the right fit for you, and whether the current circles fit where you are. If it's not right, I'll tell you, and where I can, point you somewhere better.
Join your Inner Circle
You're matched with five peers at your level, and paired with a mentor whose job is to make sure the membership pays for itself in your first six weeks.
From the founder
Hey there,
I spent 17 years in iGaming, the last stretch as a Director at BetVictor. So I know what happens by the time you reach the top of your company: you no longer have anyone you can really talk to.
Not your peers, because half of them are your competitors. Not your team, because they need you to be certain. And not your spouse, because they don't get it.
So you're making the most important decisions of your career alone. With no one who truly gets it. No one to show you what you can't see.
And that's expensive. For you, and for your business.
It's why I built The iGaming Leader.
We curate and match you with a hand-picked group of five iGaming executives at your level, and put them in what we call your Inner Circle. You meet once a week, and they act as your own personal advisory board.
Inside your Inner Circle, everything is open for discussion: hiring, firing, M&A, career changes, even the personal stuff like your health and balancing work with family life.
You get perspective from people who've been there. Peers who know what it's like. Who will give you the accountability no one at your level has.
I personally vet every member. Everyone is under NDA. And every Inner Circle is carefully matched.
That's why it works, and why members stay.
Cheers,
Leo
Still need more information?
It's one hour a week. As one member puts it, that's 2.5% of a 40-hour week, and it's the hour that makes the other 97.5% work better. Decisions that used to circle in your head for weeks get resolved in one session.
That's common. After your suitability call, we'll give you a simple overview you can share internally, covering exactly what membership includes and what it costs.
Most members do too. Contacts aren't the gap. The people in your network who truly understand your situation are competing with you or selling to you, and the rest get the surface-level version. This is built for the conversations your network can't hold.
No. A coach gives you one perspective from outside your seat. Your Inner Circle gives you five peers who've sat in it. Quarterly 1:1 coaching sessions are included, but the core of the membership is peer advisory.
You're matched into an Inner Circle of five peers at your level. You meet one hour a week: Most of our members call this the most valuable hour of their week, and one where they win back time for the rest of their week.
You presents their biggest decision, challenge or opportunity for two minutes and then get eight minutes of feedback. Then we rotate. Around that sit monthly Roundtables with the full mastermind, quarterly 1:1 coaching, closed-door expert sessions, a private community for accountability between sessions, and in-person meetups at the major industry events.
Founders, C-suite executives, MDs and VPs from across iGaming: operators, suppliers, affiliates and consultancies. Every member has 15+ years in the industry and leads a team of 20 or more, or is responsible for a significant P&L. Circles are matched so there are no conflicts of interest.
Membership is a fixed annual fee, and we share it on the suitability call once we both know this is right for you. There are no tiers and no upsells. Everything described on this page is included.
Ed Birkin, MD at H2 Gambling Capital said: "That one hour a week is 2.5% of your week. It's more valuable than the other 97.5% of your week"
Sarah Mcclean, CCO at Pretty Technical said: "Every single one of us could do an ROI on this. And I'm sure it would be positive"
One hour a week with your Inner Circle. That's the commitment. Roundtables, expert sessions and meetups are there when you want them, not obligations. Most members say the hour gives them time back, because decisions that used to circle in their head for weeks get resolved in one session. We expect members to join at least 4 out of 6 of their inner circle sessions.
Yes. Every member signs an NDA before joining. Nothing leaves the room. Your circle contains no competitors and no one you report to, which is exactly why you can say things here you can't say anywhere else.
We match circles deliberately so no one in your Inner Circle competes with your business or sells to it. Ahead of rematching, we ask you who you do and who you do not want to be matched with so you have full control.
Yes. After your suitability call, we're happy to connect you with a current member in a similar role so you can hear what it's like from the inside.
