Marcus Holt
Regulatory Advisor
Marcus has spent over 20 years navigating the legal side of online betting - from his early days consulting for offshore operators to helping licensed U.S. sportsbooks launch in regulated markets. He’s worked with compliance teams, reviewed licensing frameworks in 15+ states, and advised on some of the biggest regulatory shifts since PASPA was repealed.
At BettingScanner, Marcus serves as the voice of reason - translating legalese into plain English and helping bettors understand what’s legal, what’s risky, and where the gray areas live. If you’re ever unsure about the rules, Marcus is your man - as he probably helped write them.
