Boston, MA — April 2025 — Rithmm, the MIT-originated predictive analytics sports betting platform, announced today that World Series of Poker Champion Jamie Gold has joined the company as a Brand Ambassador and Strategic Advisor.

In this newly created role, Gold will represent Rithmm across public platforms, support strategic growth initiatives, and engage directly with the sports betting audience. He will help drive awareness of the brand through his expansive social media presence—including over 400,000 Instagram followers—while also helping to educate and empower bettors through smarter betting strategies built with AI Sports Betting tools.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jamie as a brand ambassador to Rithmm,” said CEO and Co-Founder Megan Lanham. “Jamie’s unparalleled expertise in the sports betting and i-gaming industry will be invaluable as we continue to innovate and grow.

We look forward to his contributions in shaping the future of Rithmm and delivering even greater value to our users.”

Best known for his historic win at the 2006 World Series of Poker—the largest event in poker history at the time—Jamie Gold has spent the past two decades as a public force for good in the poker and betting community. He is widely respected as a passionate advocate for data-driven critical thinking in both poker and sports gambling.

Outside of gaming, Gold is a dedicated philanthropist, having helped raise and donate more than $500 million to charitable causes including the ALS Association, Variety Children's Charity, MDA, and JDRF.

“What Rithmm has been building is unlike anything else in the market,” said Gold. “I was drawn to the unique value proposition of empowering users with their own betting models and data. I’m excited to lend my expertise, experience, and network to their team as they continue to grow. We share the same commitment to having the most positive impact on the community.”

The Boston-based company is a majority female-founded startup backed by a syndicate of investors that includes three of the original DraftKings seed investors — Boston Seed Capital, Accomplice, and Counterview Capital — as well as Permit Ventures.
