High Roller Technologies bolsters C-suite with new COO
Former Gamesys and Eastrock head Kristofer Muscat joins the operator’s top team as he is tasked with overseeing the company’s operational strategy
High Roller Technologies has announced the appointment of Kristofer Muscat as the company’s new COO to strengthen its C-suite following last year’s IPO.
In his new role, Muscat will be tasked with overseeing the operator’s operational strategy, driving company growth initiatives, and “enhancing High Roller’s commitment to delivering premium experiences in the online gambling and icasino gaming industry.”
Muscat, who officially joined on January 5, moves to High Roller having amassed significant experience within the gambling industry.
Most recently, he spent four years working at B2B service provider Eastrock Group from June 2020 to December 2024.
There, he served as group head of customer operations from June 2020 to September 2023, before moving up to become COO.
Prior to joining Eastrock Group, Muscat worked as a risk operations manager at Gamesys from September 2019 to June 2020.
He held the same title between June 2018 and September 2019 when the business was known as Jackpotjoy Group, after spending eight months at the company as a risk and fraud analyst.
Muscat also worked as a fraud analyst at Entain (then GVC) from April 2016 to October 2017.
Speaking about the appointment, High Roller CEO Ben Clemes said: “Kristofer’s operational expertise in the gambling industry and his proven track record of driving growth through innovation will be instrumental as we continue development of our technologies focused on machine learning to automate key functionality to enhance the player experience and reduce operational overhead.
“His leadership will play a vital role in optimizing our operations and enhancing our mission to provide engaging, seamless, and world-class experiences for our users.”
Muscat added: “I am so excited to be joining High Roller at such a pivotal time in the company’s evolution. The team’s vision for innovation and their unwavering focus on creating exceptional experiences for players perfectly align with my values and expertise.
“I am eager to leverage my background in operations and strategy to help drive growth, strengthen High Roller’s position as an industry leader, and elevate the brand’s appeal to high-stakes players around the globe.”
