Patrick Jonker has been announced as the new CEO of online casino Blixx Gaming, part of the HappyHour portfolio.
As the new CEO, Jonker will lead Blixx Gaming's expansion into new markets and enhance its customer experience and commercial success.
He has over nine years of experience in the iGaming industry; indeed, prior to joining Blixx Gaming, he served as CEO or Managing Director of several online companies including Betsson Group, Mr. Green and Hero Gaming.
Jonker said: "I'm thrilled to join Blixx Gaming and work alongside its talented team and I look forward to continuing the company's success and contributing my experience to lead it into the next phase of growth."
Robin Reed, Managing Partner of HappyHour.io and a shareholder in Blixx Gaming, said: "The brands that Blixx Gaming operates have seen continued profitable growth and the business is now poised for rapid development with an experienced CEO like Patrick at the helm. Patrick brings the drive and ability to deliver great things for Blixx.”
Meanwhile, last October, HappyHour announced an investment into an online sports betting brand in Chile, Betsala.com.
As an iGaming accelerator, HappyHour will be providing investment capital to Betsala and will also be bringing its operational, product and tech expertise to the operator to speed up its growth.
Reed said of that deal: “At Happyhour, we invest in people and businesses that will transform the industry. We are excited to be a part of this rapid growth in the market."
