Onionsack appoints Andrew Lee as Chairman; rebrands as Voxbet
Voxbet, the creator of innovative software that allows customers to speak or type their bets, is delighted to announce that it has appointed online gambling industry stalwart, Andrew Lee, to the position of Chairman, as it bids to expand its scope and global footprint across the industry. Lee officially commenced his new role on 22nd November 2021.
Formerly known as Onionsack, Voxbet is a technology company that enables sports bettors to speak or type what they want from a sportsbook, whether that’s a bet, a market or a tip. This journey is what punters are already used to everywhere else online. Accordingly, the simultaneous rebrand and key appointment underscores Voxbet’s mission to transform the user experience for sports bettors of every generation and territory.
Lee joins Voxbet after successful stints across an array of leadership roles, most notably as Managing Director of William Hill Online (WHO), President of WorldRemit and more recently as MD of International Sportsbook at The Stars Group.
Voxbet founder and CEO, Jonathan Power, said: “We’re delighted that Andy has agreed to come on board as Chairman, as we seek to rapidly expand and grow our global customer base. His focus as a leader is proven at Tier 1 operators – he led the Mobile First charge successfully at William Hill Online and sees the coming evolution to Voice First. Andy has a track record of succeeding by being ahead of the curve. We’re already enjoying the benefit of Andy’s analytical eye and strategic planning and when he speaks people listen. That’s priceless for us.”
Andrew Lee, Chairman of Voxbet, said: “I’m thrilled to join the talented Voxbet team at such an exciting time for the business. Its pioneering technology is already proven with leading international operators. I believe Voxbet has one of the most applicable ideas in the market, in that it solves a genuine problem for sportsbooks and its customers as well as creating new opportunities for customer reach. There is no more timely story in our sector than this one.”

Voxbet founder and CEO, Jonathan Power, added: “Genuine innovation comes so rarely to our sector. But when it does, it’s invariably salient and universally adopted. We’re confident customers will increasingly demand better navigation and greater personalization, particularly that which is accessible by voice. The prevalent usage of voice amongst the younger generation combined with the investment in voice-to-text by leading technology companies suggests the same. Our proven success in understanding text bets gives us a distinct head start in terms of voice interfaces in the sports betting space.”
“As such, the rebrand to Voxbet feels a judicious one, in that it immediately identifies our area of expertise in natural-language bet-processing, and points the way to how we envisage betting evolving in the future.”

ANJL challenges Rio Grande do Sul law banning lottery advertising in court
The National Association of Gaming and Lotteries (ANJL) is challenging, in court, Law No. 16.508/2026, enacted in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, which bans lottery advertising in the state.
The entity has filed a Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (ADI No. 7971) before the Federal Supreme Court (STF), arguing that the state law interferes with matters under federal jurisdiction, particularly by imposing restrictions with direct effects on broadcasting activities and on the placement of advertising in media outlets regulated at the federal level.
The central issue in the dispute goes beyond the lottery market.
The controversy primarily concerns the limits of state authority over advertising content broadcast on radio, television, and other media subject to nationwide federal regulation.
By establishing a broad advertising ban, the state law creates practical obstacles for broadcasters, media outlets, agencies, and operators acting in compliance with federal legislation, generating legal uncertainty about which messages can be transmitted, through which channels, and under what conditions.
According to the association, the state restriction also creates a significant regulatory issue: by preventing advertising from companies authorized and supervised at the federal level, the law reduces the communication capacity of the legal market without effectively addressing illegal platforms operating outside the regulatory framework and ignoring public authority restrictions.
In practice, the measure may shift the debate away from consumer protection toward a generalized restriction on communication, with direct impacts on broadcasting and on the freedom to advertise lawful products.
For ANJL, responsible advertising is an essential tool to differentiate licensed operators from illegal websites.
It is through advertising that consumers can identify regulated companies, protection mechanisms, official channels, and responsible gaming practices.
A broad ban, on the other hand, tends to create asymmetry: while legal companies lose the ability to communicate through formal and auditable channels, unlicensed operators continue using aggressive, unregulated strategies often aimed at vulnerable audiences, without any state control.
