Ainsworth Game Technology has officially named Ryan Comstock as chief executive officer. He had already been running the business in an interim capacity since October 2025. The Ainsworth CEO appointment comes after the board reviewed his performance during that period.

• Comstock first joined Ainsworth in 2018 as chief operating officer before stepping into the acting CEO role late last year. The company said he has worked across different parts of the business and already holds the gaming approvals needed for the position. Ainsworth said the move gives the company continuity after several months under interim leadership.
• As part of the deal, Comstock will receive an annual base salary of USD 625,000. He will also remain part of the company’s existing long-term incentive structure and is expected to join the 2026 short-term incentive plan once targets are finalised. The Ainsworth CEO appointment keeps the same employment terms that were outlined when he became acting CEO in October.
• The agreement has no fixed end date and can be terminated by either side with six months’ notice. Ainsworth also included standard post-employment restrictions covering competition and staff solicitation for up to six months. In the ASX filing, the board said Comstock had “the necessary attributes and experience gained across all operational areas of the Company to undertake the role of CEO.”
