Acroud returns to the live events scene with the launch of the first edition of The Festival Series. By doing so, Acroud is strengthening its position as the bridge between land-based gaming and affiliation to create opportunities to connect operators with the player communities while also producing high-quality content to grow its digital flagship products, such as Pokerlistings.com and CasinoTop10.net.

The inaugural week-long event is a first of its kind mixed games format, incorporating Roulette, Blackjack and competitive Sportsbetting tournaments into a complete Poker tournament schedule. During the event, Acroud will host The Gambling Cabin’s Sportsbook and Matching Vision’s Slots tournaments. Whereas the (€550 buy-in) Main Event comes with a guaranteed prize pool of 300.000 Euros.

“We want the first event to be explosive! The Festival Series is something that the gaming world has never seen before on such a scale, featuring not only nonstop poker action but also boasting innovative casino and sports wagering events,” says Martin von Zweigbergk, Director of Live Events at Acroud.

To elevate players’ experience, Acroud has launched The Festival Series App, which enables networking, provides content, and keeps attendees updated before, during, and after the event. In addition, Acroud has introduced its Play Money pool betting solution on play.thefestival.com.

“Besides bringing innovation to gaming festivals and facilitating more inclusion among those who are more apt to play games outside of poker, The Festival Series intends to create a complete experience both on and off the felt,” says Robert Andersson, CEO and President, Acroud.

The venue, Banco Casino, is positioned right in the centre of Slovakia’s capital, nearby all the city’s major attractions, restaurants and nightlife.

The Festival Series will take place from Monday, September 20 until Sunday, September 26 2021, at Banco Casino in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Further information about The Festival Series and the event schedule is also available on the website www.thefestival.com. The Festival Series App is available to download on AppStore and Google Play.

Chief Business Officer promoted to top job while current CEO Toni Halonen starts new role as Chief Product Officer

Bojoko, the award-winning online casino affiliate site, has appointed Joonas Karhu as Chief Executive Officer amid a management reshuffle.

Joonas moves into the top job from the role of Chief Business Officer, with current CEO and Bojoko Co-founder, Toni Halonen, moving to the newly created role of Chief Product Officer.

The reshuffle will see Joonas take over the day to day running of the business and take on the task of ensuring Bojoko becomes the first globally recognised online gambling affiliate brand.

He will also be responsible for strategy development and execution, driving growth, overseeing resources and development and inspiring and motivating the wider team.

In his role as Chief Business Officer, Joonas has developed strong relationships with a wide range of industry stakeholders which he will continue to work with as CEO.

As Chief Product Officer, Toni will focus on taking the Bojoko product and user experience to levels the industry has never seen before and further establishing the company as a leader in the sector.

This comes after several major product upgrades, including the launch of two in-house developed game training apps that can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play store.

Joonas Karhu, Bojoko Chief Executive Officer, said: “I am honoured to have been named CEO of Bojoko, a business that I have been proud to be a part of since the very beginning.

“Over the past four years, I have watched it grow into an award-winning, market-leading online gambling affiliate organisation with a presence in markets around the world.

“I have always worked closely with Toni in my role as Chief Business Officer and believe I am in a strong position to take over the reins and continue to drive the business forward and on to greater success.

“I’d like to thank Toni and the other co-founders for putting their trust in me and promise to do all I can to achieve the goal of Bojoko becoming the first globally recognised affiliate brand.”

Toni Halonen, Chief Product Officer at Bojoko, said: “In Joonas we have the perfect candidate for the CEO role; he knows the business and also has unrivalled knowledge of, and experience in, the market.

“This reshuffle allows me to refocus on my passions – technology and SEO – and to ensure that Bojoko continues to push the boundaries in the areas of technology and user experience.

“This really is an exciting chapter for the business, and I look forward to seeing the incredible things we can achieve under Joonas’ leadership.”
