Company Description

We are a leading developer, distributor and marketer of innovative online, casino-style gaming (“iGaming”) content and integrated business-to-business (“B2B”) solutions to iGaming operators in regulated markets globally based on the size of our studio network. Based on our analysis of publicly available data, including the websites, public statements and accounts of our competitors, we believe that we have one of the largest networks of exclusive iGaming content studios, measured by the number of studios that develop our games. Our 40 in-house and partnered studios with whom we have exclusive rights have established operating histories predating the formation of our company. These studios have developed more than 1,300 proprietary games over the past 20 years (including predating the formation of our company), all of which are now part of our portfolio of games. We are a key content provider to iGaming operators, supporting the rapidly growing consumption of iGaming content through a diverse portfolio of what we believe to be market-leading offerings. While slot games (including progressive variants of slot games) have historically represented, and continue to represent, the vast majority of our revenue, our product portfolio also includes table games (including progressive variants of table games), video poker, video bingo, game show games, crash games and live casino games. We were incorporated in the Isle of Man on July 8, 2021, pursuant to a carve-out of the game development business of Fusion Holdings Limited, with the strategic vision of creating the largest and most innovative iGaming studio and distribution ecosystem in the world. To advance this vision, we strive to regularly develop and offer new branded game titles (each, a “game title”), creating multiple versions of each game title (each, a “game” or “game variant”) to enable each of our customers to select the game variant that best meets their commercial needs, including in relation to game mechanics (e.g., bet limits, volatility, multipliers), compliance with specific regulatory frameworks, return-to-player (“RTP”) percentages, application type (mobile or desktop) and other metrics that are important to iGaming operators. Each game variant we offer is individually certified and brought to market. Using our access to underlying operational data, we monitor and analyze the popularity of our games across the markets that our customers serve. Our technology allows us to identify the territory in which our games are being played and, as a result, we can track game play and our customers’ gross gaming revenue (“GGR”) arising from game play (which we refer to as our games’ “underlying GGR”) by territory. These data insights enable us to better understand our players and inform our market and product development strategies. We have established positions in our existing markets in Europe and North America, based on our games’ underlying GGR. In December 2023, we had more than 7.3 million unique active players who collectively made €6.7 billion in wagers on our games across 8 billion paid spins (each spin, a “game round”) (compared to 5.3 million unique active players who collectively made €5.6 billion in wagers on our games across 5.6 billion paid game rounds in December 2022). We released approximately 60 new game variants per month for game play in these jurisdictions during the nine months ended December 31, 2023 (compared to 33 new game variants per month during the nine months ended December 31, 2022) and offer some of the industry’s highest paying online progressive jackpots. In March 2024, following the expansion of our business into the United States, we had 8.8 million unique active players who collectively made €7.8 billion in wagers on our games across 9.1 billion paid game rounds. GGR earned by our customers is typically equal to the amount wagered by a player, less any payout made to the player, and GGR is an operating metric we use to track the growth of our business. However, we have not yet finalized our financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and, as a result, cannot assure you that any increase in unique active players as of March 2024 will equate to a proportional increase in our games’ underlying GGR or any increase in revenue that we will ultimately report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. While our distribution of games to customers in North America was previously limited to customers in the Canadian market, in connection with our acquisition of the B2B assets of Digital Gaming Corporation USA (“DGC” and the acquisition of DGC, the “DGC Acquisition”) in February 2024, we expanded our business into the United States, whose states in the aggregate represent the largest iGaming market globally according to H2 Gambling Capital (“H2GC”). Prior to this acquisition, we sold a selection of our games to DGC, which were made available in the United States by DGC under its U.S. regulatory licenses. The limited releases of our games by DGC preceding the DGC Acquisition attracted strong demand, as evidenced by these game titles representing four of the top 25 new iGaming titles in the Eilers & Krejcik Gaming (“Eilers & Krejcik”) February 2024 U.S. Online Game Performance Report (the “Eilers & Krejcik Report”), including the third top new game title in the overall U.S. market. We reacquired the games previously sold to DGC as part of the DGC Acquisition. We are currently licensed or certified to sell our games into 20 jurisdictions, and we supply our games to over 350 iGaming operators, consisting of business-to-consumer (“B2C”) iGaming operators to whom we directly supply our games (our “Direct Customers”) and B2B resellers who further sell, market and deploy our games to a variety of B2C iGaming operators (our “Indirect Customers”), which in each case make our games available to individual players. Our mission is to become the industry’s standard for exceptional, entertaining and high performing iGaming content and solutions. This mission is underpinned by the following key strategic pillars: • cultivate meaningful customer relationships and develop differentiated, bespoke customer solutions to grow iGaming operator share of wallet; • expand to offer our games beyond our existing geographic markets within Europe and North America as new markets adopt regulations and increase penetration into the high growth U.S. markets, which is projected to have a total addressable market of approximately $28 billion by 2028 for online slot and table games (“online casino”), iLottery, online poker and online video bingo, according to H2GC; • focus on innovation through our Center of Excellence utilizing shared tools, infrastructure and best practices across all studios to expand into additional iGaming product adjacencies, such as lottery games and omnichannel (i.e., land- and iGaming-based) offerings, and drive customer engagement; and • leverage our global studio model to continue generating a robust pipeline of new games across genres and categories, thereby increasing the probability of creating franchise brands. We have expanded rapidly since our inception through a combination of strategic acquisitions and organic growth. With what we believe to be our highly competitive structural framework, we expect to continue to grow as we enter into new markets and expand our customer share of wallet in our current markets, both as a result of continued organic growth and opportunistic strategic acquisitions. --- We were incorporated in the Isle of Man on July 8, 2021 under the Isle of Man Companies Act 2006 (the “Isle of Man Companies Act”).
