Gaming Realms Plc Pre-Close Trading Update and Board Changes
Gaming Realms, the developer and licensor of mobile-focused gaming content, has announced a pre-close trading update for the full year to 31 December 2022 (FY22).
The company confirms that it expects to report FY22 revenue of £18.7 million and adjusted EBITDA of £7.7 million, up 27% and 36% respectively year-on-year. This strong performance was driven by the continued growth of the Group’s licensing business that, during FY22, launched in two new North American regulated iGaming markets, Connecticut and Ontario, and with 58 new partners internationally.
The Group’s expansion into further new markets during Q4 FY22 has continued into Q1 FY23.
The company expects to report its FY22 Preliminary Results during the week commencing 3 April 2023.
Q4 2022 Update
The company had a strong Q4, launching in multiple markets and with new partners. In October 2022, Gaming Realms launched in its 5th North American market in Connecticut, with DraftKings.
Also in Q4 2022, Gaming Realms launched games with 11 operators across its 5 markets in North America, including Caesars Sportsbook and 888 in New Jersey, Kindred in Pennsylvania, Four Winds in Michigan, and Ballys and Pointsbet in Ontario.
Increasing its European presence, Gaming Realms went live with 11 operators in Europe, including tier 1 operators Napoleon in Belgium, Snai in Italy, and Pokerstars in the UK.
Gaming Realms also repaid its outstanding loan to JPJ Group Holdings Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Bally’s Corporation), leaving the company debt free.
Board Changes
In light of the continued development and growth of the company, Gaming Realms has appointed Mark Segal as CEO, and Geoffrey (Geoff) Robert Green, aged 34, as CFO and a director of the company, both with immediate effect.
Previously Mark Segal was CFO and acting COO, and Geoff Green was finance director in support of the CFO, and they have been successfully working together for more than three years. Michael Buckley remains as Executive Chairman.
Michael Buckley, Executive Chairman of Gaming Realms, said: “The Company has delivered another strong, full-year performance with growth coming from both existing and new markets. This growth has been supported by the new partnerships signed with igaming operators as well as the extension of our Slingo catalogue, with the release of new Slingo formats during the period, which have proven to be very popular. We are seeing good momentum, and backed by an exciting commercial pipeline and new games, we are confident that we will achieve further progress in 2023.
“As stated above, the Company has repaid the outstanding loan from JPJ Group Holdings Limited. This was repaid from internal cash resources, which demonstrates the highly cash generative qualities of Gaming Realms, and leaves the company debt free.
“We are also delighted to announce that Mark and Geoff have been appointed CEO and CFO respectively. They have developed a strong working partnership in recent years whilst the business has achieved excellent growth. The Board is excited to be working with them in their new roles and supporting the Company’s ongoing commercial objectives.”

ThrillTech secures AGCO supplier licence for Ontario launch
ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.
The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.
Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”
The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.
ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

ThrillTech said it has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to offer its side-bet jackpot technology to regulated online casino, sports betting, and lottery operators in Ontario.
Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets.

We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”
The company said its ThrillPots product lets operators add player-funded, opt-in side-bet jackpots on top of existing games, without changing gameplay or the underlying return-to-player (RTP) calculations. ThrillTech positions the mechanic as a way to drive incremental engagement and revenue.
ThrillTech said the Ontario licence enables existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to roll out ThrillTech-powered jackpots locally, and added it is in discussions with potential new operator partners. The company listed other regulated jurisdictions it serves as the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil, and Peru.

St8 Secures Alberta Licence, Strengthening North American Expansion
Casino games aggregator and full-service technology provider St8 has secured its registration to operate in Alberta as an iGaming Services Supplier, marking another significant milestone in the company’s strategy to expand across North America’s regulated iGaming markets.
St8 was among the first suppliers to secure a conditional approval granted by the AGLC, underlining the company’s readiness to support operators as the province prepares to open its regulated iGaming market.
Alberta represents a key market in St8’s North American growth strategy and follows the company’s expansion into Ontario earlier this year. With its latest approval, St8 is now regulated in some of the industry’s most sought-after jurisdictions, including Sweden, the UK, Romania, and Ontario, among others.
The Alberta approval enables St8 to provide its next-generation game aggregation services to licensed operators in Alberta, giving partners access to more than 200 premium game providers through a single API integration, alongside bonus and promotional tools, advanced reporting, compliance capabilities, and a suite of operational features designed to simplify casino management.
Purpose-built with modern infrastructure and regulatory flexibility at its core, the St8 software enables operators to launch premium casino content quickly, while also reducing the operational complexity typically associated with multi-provider integrations and expansion into new markets.
This registration builds on St8’s growing presence in regulated jurisdictions and reinforces the company’s commitment to supporting operators with scalable, compliant technology as new opportunities emerge across North America and beyond.
With compliance, speed and operational efficiency at the heart of its product, St8 remains focused on helping operators enter new markets with confidence while delivering seamless access to premium casino content through a single integration.
Eva Alšauskaite, Head of Legal at St8, said: “Securing our Alberta supplier registration represents another important step in St8’s international growth strategy and reflects our continued investment in regulated markets.
“As jurisdictions continue to evolve, operators need technology partners that combine innovation with a deep understanding of regulatory requirements. Obtaining this registration demonstrates our commitment to meeting those standards while providing operators with a solution that makes expansion into regulated markets as simple and efficient as possible.”
