GamblingIQ stated:
“Michael Tobin is one of gambling’s rare figures who combines respect with genuine popularity—a feat almost impossible in an industry as volatile and scrutinized as ours. His reputation isn’t built on flash or hype, but on steady, practical leadership, curiosity about technology, and an ability to make complex challenges seem manageable. Operators, regulators, suppliers, and colleagues value his clarity, his evidence-backed thinking, and his long-term approach to partnerships. After nearly 30 years, his standing signals more than success: it reflects consistency of character, reliability, and a human touch in a sector that often forgets both.”
