The nomination committee of Better Collective proposes that the 2021 Annual General Meeting elect Therese Hillman, former CEO of NetEnt, as new board member.
The nomination committee of Better Collective proposes that Therese Hillman is elected as new board member and also proposes the re-election of the following board members to the 2021 Annual General Meeting: Jens Bager (also to be re-elected as chairman of the board), Todd Dunlap, Klaus Holse, Leif Nørgaard and Petra von Rohr. Søren Jørgensen has decided not to seek re-election.
To complement the board, the nomination committee has actively sought a new member who has experience from the iGaming industry. The proposed new member has such a background, providing premium gaming solutions to online casino operators world wide. The committee finds that Therese Hillman is highly suited to the board of Better Collective.
Jens Bager, Chairman of the board, says: “I am very pleased that Therese Hillman has decided to seek election to Better Collective’s board of directors. Therese’s experience from the iGaming market is highly relevant for Better Collective. Therese will, among other, support the company in its ambitious strategy to continue consolidating the market and growing in new markets such as the fast growing US sports betting market. I would also like to thank Søren Jørgsensen for his outstanding efforts on the board since 2014. Søren has been instrumental in shaping the M&A strategy and building the inhouse knowledge that has led to 20 acquisitions so far. I am happy to note that Søren will take on a consultancy role to our two founders and major shareholders, CEO Jesper Søgaard and COO Christian Kirk Rasmussen, in their respective holding companies.”
Therese Hillman, a Swedish national born in 1980, was until recently Group CEO of NetEnt, a premium game supplier to online casino operators and listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. In this role, Therese has steered the company during a turnaround phase, in a time of changing regulation and market conditions, US market expansion, and a large acquisition of the fast growing competitor Red Tiger. Prior to joining NetEnt in 2017, Therese worked at Gymgrossisten.com for 10 years, where she was the CEO for 6 years and prior to that in the roles of COO and CFO. Gymgrossisten.com is a leading e-commerce sports nutrition company in the Nordics. Therese is a board member of Actic since 2018 and previously a board member of Unibet. Therese holds an M.Sc. in Accounting and Finance from Stockholm School of Economics with exchange terms at University of Virginia and University of North Georgia. Therese is considered independent in relation to Better Collective and its shareholders. Therese holds no Better Collective shares.
The Annual General Meeting will be held on April 26, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. CET. Further information can be found in the Notice of the AGM and the full proposal from the Nomination Committee which will be published before the end of March 2021.

Fortune Wheel Drops
Just Slots and Hype.Bet Celebrate Year One of Multiplayer Gaming Together
The slot developer Just Slots, based in Malta, participates in Hype.Bet’s anniversary festivities as a highlighted provider partner, offering exclusive contests, Fortune Wheel Drops, and community incentives to players during March.
Just Slots, an iGaming developer recognized for its striking and premium slot games, has revealed a collaboration with Hype.Bet to commemorate the platform’s inaugural anniversary. Taking place in March 2026, the partnership includes Just Slots as a highlighted provider for the significant event, offering unique contests, community-focused rewards, and prominent lobby positioning to users on one of iGaming’s most creative platforms.
Hype.Bet has transformed social casino gaming into the exclusive multiplayer community casino platform where players can join streamers and friends in real-time spins. Since its debut in March 2025, the platform has created a dedicated community centered on its hallmark Multiplayer Rooms feature, where hundreds of players can enter a communal room, observe a host oversee the gameplay, and track their balances fluctuating together, all in real-time.
In March, three Just Slots games—Rain and Ruin, Dynamo’s Show, and Vegan Nightmare—will be highlighted in Hype.Bet’s main lobby section, each adorned with unique halo icons to signify their participation in the anniversary promotion. Gamers can easily identify the highlighted games and dive right into the contest. The month-long competition, taking place from March 1 to 29, encourages participants to compete across the full Just Slots collection on Hype.Bet, offering rewards for individual players and streamers alike. The individual player champion receives a unique, limited-edition Hype.Bet anniversary merchandise pack, a Just Slots merchandise pack, and $500 in cash, whereas the leading streamer is awarded their own exclusive merchandise and a bonus incentive.
Enhancing the thrill, Hype.Bet’s exclusive Fortune Wheel Drops will take place every Monday and Wednesday during the campaign. Participants in Multiplayer Rooms during streamer events can seize $2,500 Fortune Wheel Drops, broadcast live to the community in a distinctly Hype.Bet style. The drops occur twice a day on those days, upholding the platform’s central belief that achieving success is more enjoyable when it is shared.
Nick Formosa, Head of Client Strategy at Just Slots, commented, “Hype.Bet has built something genuinely different in this space with a platform where the community is as much a part of the experience as the games themselves. That’s a philosophy that resonates with us at Just Slots, and this partnership felt like a natural fit from the start. Seeing our titles at the centre of their anniversary celebrations, with players competing and winning together throughout the month, really captures what ‘Play Together, Win Together’ is all about.”
Iana, Head of Marketing at Hype.Bet, added, “Celebrating our first anniversary with partners like Just Slots is a great way to highlight the community experience that defines Hype.Bet. Their games fit perfectly into our Multiplayer Rooms format, where players can watch, compete, and win together. This collaboration brings exciting competitions and rewards to our players while showcasing what social casino gaming can look like when the community comes first.”
After the launch of their inaugural game in 2024, Just Slots has introduced ten titles and established a variety of strategic alliances within the industry, emerging as a significant player in next-generation slot development. Participants can access complete information about the anniversary promotion, including contest rules and the Fortune Wheel Drop timetable, at hype.bet/promotions.
