Matthew Anthony Pace, a long-standing employee in the local iGaming industry, has been appointed Chief Technology Officer at HappyHour.io’s Extended Gaming (XG).

XG is a new crypto and Web3 project that iGaming seed and early-stage accelerator HappyHour.io chose to invest in.
Before joining the company, Mr Pace worked in tech at Rootz Ltd for just under three years and as a Tech Lead at Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) for a similar time span.
Prior to that, he served as a Developer at NetRefer from October 2010 to May 2016.
Just last month, HappyHour.io recruited LeoVegas Commercial Strategy Director Lauren Farrell as Chief Marketing Officer. Ms Farrell will also be focusing on XG.
Founded in 2021 and led by former GiG CEO Robin Reed, HappyHour.io’s investment portfolio includes Betsala, High Roller and Livespins.
Chairman Alfred Pisani meanwhile said the group will increasingly focus on profitability with a focus on regular dividends.
'The country has the potential to carve out specialised niches in the growing global market.'
