William Hill Online chief operating officer, Peter Marcus, has announced an early exit from his position at the major UK online gambling site. In an interview with EGRmagazine, Marcus said that he expects his time there to be over “shortly, probably weeks rather than months.”

“This is purely about how we structure the business and how we can operate most efficiently” said William Hill Online CEO Henry Birch.

Marcus came on board the team at William Hill in January as part of their 5-year deal with Playtech. As part of the deal, online gambling software developer Playtech furnished William Hill Online with online poker and other casino software along with acquiring marketing companies Uniplay International and Six Digits Trading.
Marcus himself had this to say in a statement. “The reason for leaving is that we have just had a big restructure of the business and a number of the functions I manage have moved to TelAviv, and it was mutually agreed that I wasn’t interested in carrying on with fewer functions.”

Marcus caused a stir in the online gambling community last month when he railed against rakebacks, saying “networks and licensees have to find ways of rewarding loyalty which don’t encourage people to keep switching rooms or which involve stealing each other’s customers. It’s going to take time and be tough to get there, but the whole industry has to get together and be strict on this.”
