SharpLink Gaming Announces 1-for-12 Reverse Stock Split

SharpLink Gaming, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBET) (âSharpLinkâ or the âCompanyâ), an online performance-based marketing company serving the U.S. sports betting and global iGaming industries, today announced that it will effect a 1-for-12 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. The reverse stock split will be effective for trading purposes as of the commencement of trading on May 6, 2025.
The reverse stock split is intended to increase the per share trading price of SharpLinkâs common stock to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (Rule 550(a)(1)). SharpLinkâs common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol âSBETâ and under a new CUSIP number, 820014405. As a result of the reverse stock split, every twelve pre-split shares of common stock outstanding will become one share of common stock. The reverse split will also apply to common stock issuable upon the exercise of SharpLinkâs outstanding warrants and stock options. The reverse stock split will not proportionately reduce the number of shares of authorized common stock, as permitted under Delaware law.
SharpLinkâs transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, which is also acting as the exchange agent for the reverse split, will provide instructions to stockholders regarding the process for exchanging share certificates. Any fractional shares of common stock resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded to the nearest whole post-split share (half shares will be rounded down) and no stockholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. For assistance from Equiniti, please call 877-248-6417 or 718-921-8317.

SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator Reports Q1 Growth and Enhancements

Â
SOFTSWISS, a leading iGaming software provider, announces the Q1 2025 performance results of its flagship product, the Game Aggregator. The focus for this period was on enhancing the Tournament Tool while reinforcing the Game Aggregatorâs position as a leading iGaming content hub, now offering over 30,000 actively played games in its portfolio.
The number of brands using the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator continues to grow steadily. In Q1 2025, the client base increased by 25% year-over-year, reaching a total of 1,311 iGaming brands â a testament to the platformâs expanding influence and trusted technology.
According to the SOFTSWISS iGaming Trends 2025 Report, success in iGaming is no longer defined solely by how many players a casino attracts â it increasingly depends on how effectively those players are engaged, retained, and activated. This insight has driven a strategic focus on improving engagement tools, particularly the Tournament Tool within the Game Aggregator, with the goal of automating key features to simplify and accelerate operations for online casino teams.
The Tournament Tool now features the Recurrence Option, making it quicker and easier to set up repeating tournaments. Operators can now schedule them by defining either the number of repetitions or an end date â reducing manual setup and ensuring steady player engagement over time.
Prize distribution is now easier and faster. With the latest update, operators using API v2 can automatically pay out all prize types, including cash, free spins, bonuses, or any combination of these. This streamlines the reward process and ensures players receive their winnings without delay.
Custom tags make tournament segmentation more effective. Operators can now include or exclude specific player groups based on tailored criteria, enabling more targeted, personalised campaigns that drive deeper player engagement.
Tatiana Kaminskaya, Head of SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator noted: âThe recent updates significantly streamline tournament management while optimising operator resources. As a result, the Tournament Tool has become even more powerful and efficient for driving player engagement.âÂ
Further supporting its global expansion, the Game Aggregator recently received certification in Peru and Brazil, as well as in South Africa. These approvals enable operators in these fast-growing markets to seamlessly integrate the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, ensuring regulatory compliance and quicker time to market.
