Jumbo Interactive Limited has announced that revenue for the first six months of the 2021-22 financial year was up 29% year-on-year to AU$52.8m (US$38.1m).

The Australian lottery business has seen healthy growth across most key performance metrics, including group total transaction value (TTV), which is up 41% year-on-year to nearly AU$328m.

Lottery retailing was the mainstay of Jumbo’s business for H1, delivering AU$46.7m in underlying revenue, though its emerging software-as-a-service (SaaS) and managed services business segments grew considerably.

Revenue from these areas amounted to AU$4m and AU$2.1m for roughly 145% and 41% growth respectively, while SaaS TTV more than doubled year-on-year.

Jumbo attributed its SaaS revenue growth to the scaling up of existing customers in Australia, as well as having a full six months of Lotterywest, with whom it signed a ten-year agreement in late 2020 for its online platform and related services.

Mike Veverka, Founder and CEO of Jumbo Interactive, said: “We are very pleased with the growth that we have achieved this half, across all our operating segments, and the positive momentum across the business.

“Lottery retailing continues to perform exceptionally well, underpinned by the improved jackpot cycle and our focus on player engagement and retention.

“Our SaaS and managed services segments continue to demonstrate good organic growth, with all our Australian SaaS clients contributing on a full run-rate basis.”

In May 2025, Slotsjudge signs a partnership with DreamPlay, a young studio working on slots and crash games. This collaboration will attract players’ attention to the brand’s new releases. At the same time, Slotsjudge readers will access reviews of even more thrilling games and mechanics, including the Coin Chase feature frequently applied by the team.

Partnership’s Potential & Advantages of DreamPlay

The DreamPlay’s library has different games, including classic slots like Fruit Fresh and innovative crash games like Olympus Power. Some games have simple settings, featuring a 3×3 layout, and others have advanced mechanics, such as pay-anywhere at Emojinator.

The studio is ambitious, which guarantees a player-focused approach and multi-device support. Plus, the developers are bound to add more perks and new technologies to upcoming games. All these advantages are certain to impress Slotsjudge readers and keep them well-entertained.

Alexandr Tkach, CEO of DreamPlay, commented on the occasion:

‘We appreciate it when a product is examined not superficially, but with an understanding of its essence.
Partnering with Slotsjudge means more than just product placement.
It’s collaborating with a team that understands the game’s mechanics, math, and feel’

Collaboration Perspective for Both Sides

The partnership is essential for both sides. This collaboration increases DreamPlay’s chances of strategic growth because more players will learn about its games and how their mechanics work.

For Slotsjudge, it’s an opportunity to upgrade the list of reviews with new titles and an unusual approach to familiar things. For example, most games from DreamPlay have a low 20x to 30x cost for Bonus Buy, and when it comes to free spins, games like Future Sevens Coin Chase offer up to 100 FS, which is more than many other slots have.

Jekaterina Dubnicka, Head of Marketing & Communications at Slotsjudge, added:

‘The market never stops evolving, so we appreciate when the products for our reviews are not just average games but titles with a twist. Such collaborations are excellent for both sides and players who will get more options for having fun.’
