Cachia joins after nearly two years as CCO at betting giant William Hill and previous roles at Mr Green, including Director of Commercial and Gaming and Head of Commercial. He assumes his duties immediately.

Ross Parkhill, Chief Executive Officer of Rhino Entertainment, said: “It’s fantastic to have someone of John’s ilk join our ambitious group. He has lots of very valuable experience, and I’m sure he will help drive further growth and develop all aspects of our commercial operations.”

The move is part of a restructuring at the company, which also sees Kristina Murgovska take on the role of Chief Product Officer.

Murgovska has climbed the ranks quickly at Rhino Entertainment, moving from Head of Product to Director of Product Development in three years. Before joining Rhino Entertainment, she spent three years at Gaming Innovation Group – first as Senior Front End Developer and then as Product Owner.

“Kristina is one of the sharpest product minds in the business and I am delighted to see her talent recognised,” Parkhill added.

Rhino Entertainment specialises in iGaming solutions, supporting leading brands like Casino Days and Buusti Kasino with best in class product development, UI and UX design, and marketing strategies.

Players that wear GGPoker patches and tag #LoveGGPoker will claim free tickets and Tournament Dollars and can also receive free tournament entries

GGPoker today launches the Patch Me Up live events campaign, which rewards players in selected poker tournaments held in the United Kingdom that wear GGPoker patches and engage with GGPoker on social media.

Players that fly the flag for the GGPoker community at live events, no matter if they qualify via satellites or buy in directly, will be eligible to receive prizes. Participants must wear GGPoker patches, share photos of themselves playing on social media, using the campaign hashtag #LoveGGPoker, and Content Challenges to grab some of the Patch Me Up loot.

These #LoveGGPoker Content Challenges include:

• Post the ‘Photo of the Day’

• Receive the most social media post likes or retweets in a day

• Have the biggest chip stack of any GGPoker community players

• Build the best card tower

• Perform the best chip trick

• Post a photo with the highest number of players sporting GGPoker patches

The prizes will include tickets to GGPoker’s biggest online tournaments and Tournament Dollars that can be used to enter whatever GGPoker events the player prefers.

What’s more, ten players in each selected event will be chosen as the first to represent GGPoker in the subsequent live tournament, and those players’ buy-in to the upcoming tournament will be covered 100% by GGPoker.

GGPoker patches will be made available to those interested in taking part, either in advance or from GGPoker players participating in the tournament.

“We’re excited to be able to offer UK players something new and rewarding at live events. The world of poker is a wonderful mix of players from all walks of life and levels of play. All too often it is the top players of the game that reap the rewards; GGPoker wants to create something that shows how much we value players of all levels with rewards, regardless of where they finish in a tournament,” said Angela Martin, UK & Ireland Head of Marketing for GGPoker. “We’re truly passionate about poker and want to see more players creating entertaining content that celebrates poker, their experience at live events and their love for GGPoker!”

New GGPoker players are eligible to claim the poker room’s Welcome Bonus, earn even more rewards with the Honeymoon for Newcomers promotion and automatically join GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program, with regular cash prizes on offer.
