Bragg Gaming Group announced its preliminary unaudited results for the year ended December 31, 2024 based on information currently available to management and certain strategic initiatives and issued financial guidance for 2025, highlighting anticipated double-digit growth in Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA driven by a strategic focus on proprietary and exclusive content.

Anticipated Full Year 2024 Results Highlights

The Company expects the financial results for full year 2024 to include the following highlights: Revenue not less than EUR 102 million, an increase of 9% from EUR 93.5 million for 2023, Adjusted EBITDA of not less than EUR 15.4 million, an increase of 1% from EUR 15.2 million for 2023.

Anticipated Financial Highlights for 2025

Revenue Guidance: Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, is expected to reach between EUR 117.5 million and EUR 123.0 million, representing double digit growth compared to the Company’s anticipated 2024 revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA Guidance: Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to range between EUR 19.0 million and EUR 21.5 million, supported by a shift toward higher-margin product offerings.

Strategic Business Drivers

The Company is expecting to realize its anticipated 2025 results in part, as a result of certain strategic initiatives, including:

• Shift in Revenue Concentration: The percentage of revenue from the Company’s proprietary and exclusive content business is expected to increase providing a more margin-accretive mix and improving profitability with reduced reliance on third party content revenue by year end.

• Growth in Key Markets: Content-focused products, including proprietary, exclusive and aggregated content are projected to drive significant revenue growth in North America and Brazil, which are expected to contribute up to 10% and 15% of revenue, respectively by year-end.

• Brazil’s Growth Potential: The Company believes that its proprietary and exclusive content and aggregation businesses are strategically positioned to capture a significant share of Brazil’s $1.5 billion iGaming market, projected to more than double to over $3.3 billion by 2029, according to H2 Gambling Capital.

• US Market Penetration: The Company believes that it is strategically positioned for significant growth in the US market by leveraging its proprietary and exclusive content portfolio. Through integration with top-tier operators such as DraftKings, FanDuel, Rush Street, Caesars and BetMGM, and licenses in all key iGaming states, the Company’s content is accessible to over 90% of the US iGaming market, valued at over $9.5 billion, according to H2 Gambling Capital. Under the leadership of Neill Whyte, Chief Commercial Officer, and Garrick Morris, SVP (Commercial, US & Canada), veterans of the iGaming industry with multi-decade successful market penetration experience under their belt, the Company has strong leadership to garner enhanced market share. It is expected that proprietary and exclusive content growth in the US will be further driven by the recently announced technology and content partnership with Caesars Entertainment Inc. This partnership, which leverages the Company’s cutting-edge technology and innovative development strengthens the Company’s profile in a competitive and dynamic market.

• Stronger Penetration in Major European Markets: Bragg aims to expand content distribution in key Western European markets, including Italy, UK, Spain, and Sweden, by leveraging existing integrations with top operators and implementing targeted sales strategies.

• Expand Exclusive Partnerships: The Company plans to increase its roster of partner studios to enhance the release cadence of titles in North America. Additionally, Bragg aims to grow exclusive content distribution in Central European markets, including the Czech Republic and Germany, through strategic partnerships with studios such as Gamomat and King Show Games.

• Stability in PAM Business: The Company’s PAM business is expected to remain flat year-over-year, an overall positive, despite the anticipated contraction of the Netherlands market in 2025 due to regulatory changes made in the fourth quarter of 2024.

• Enhanced Technology Profile: The Company continues to innovate with technologies such as FUZE, which provides bonuses, free rounds, tournaments, jackpots, recommendation engine and other engagement and promotional tools seamlessly across all iGaming, Sportbetting and iLottery products, requiring no additional integration. These advanced features enhance player experience and contribute to the growth of the Company’s product portfolio revenue.

• Data and AI Enhancements: By leveraging extensive gaming data, the Company generates actionable insights and employs AI-driven optimizations to elevate player experiences and enhance operator profitability, thereby accelerating profitable growth in proprietary and exclusive content verticals. Opportunities to leverage AI to reduce costs and enhance product margins are also being actively explored.

• Pipeline Opportunities: A robust pipeline of opportunities is under development, which, if realized, could further enhance 2025 performance but are not yet reflected in the current guidance.

• Stock Appreciation Rights Plan: Bragg has also introduced a new Stock Appreciation Rights (SAR) plan for its executive management team, further aligning management interests with those of shareholders. The SAR plan has been implemented under the Company’s Amended and Restated Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan and pays out only if the Company’s share price increases over a three-year period, with a full payout contingent on achieving a four-fold increase from a base price of $5 CAD. This structure ensures that executive compensation is firmly tied to delivering significant shareholder value. Additionally, the plan includes accelerated vesting provisions in the event of a change of control, preserving alignment with shareholder interests in all value-creation scenarios. SAR award payouts may be settled through the payment of cash, the issuance of shares, or through a combination of both, subject to the discretion of the Company’s Board and availability of shares under the Company’s equity incentive plan at the time.

“I am pleased with where we believe 2024 results will land and very excited about the strong growth trajectory outlined in our 2025 guidance. Our strategic investments in proprietary and exclusive content as well as various Data, Player journey and AI enhanced engagement features, are expected to drive our growth in 2025. By focusing on margin-accretive products, we are well-positioned to boost both revenue and profitability while pursuing opportunities in key markets such as Brazil and the United States. Our PAM product remains a top-tier performer, and while our 2025 growth will largely come from the content side of the business, we have exciting prospects to expand our PAM offering. Additionally, I’m particularly proud of the strong executive team that we have assembled at Bragg this past year. The recently announced Caesars deal highlights their impressive capabilities,” said Matevž Mazij, CEO of Bragg.

Bragg Gaming Group has signed a comprehensive Player Account Management (PAM) platform and turnkey solution agreement with SuomiVeto, a market entrant led by the successful founders of BetCity.nl.

The long-term agreement will see Bragg provide SuomiVeto access to its proprietary PAM platform, a vast portfolio of exclusive and aggregated casino games, a fully managed sportsbook, award-winning Fuze Player Engagement tools and comprehensive managed marketing and operational services.

This partnership is strategically focused on positioning SuomiVeto as a leading operator, and Bragg as a leading supplier, in the newly regulated Finnish iGaming market when it launches. The market is scheduled to “go live” for private operators on July 1, 2027, following the opening of the license application window in March 2026.

In January 2026, Bragg announced an ambitious AI transformation plan, targeting it becoming an AI-First company by 2027. In line with the Company’s previously announced “AI-First” initiatives, Bragg is developing technology aimed at assisting operators in meeting expected regulatory requirements in Finland. Through the “Bragg AI Brain” and its technical partnership with Golden Whale, the Company provides predictive modeling designed to monitor player behaviour.

Matevž Mazij, Chief Executive Officer for Bragg Gaming Group, said: “Securing this PAM and full turnkey solution deal with SuomiVeto is a major strategic milestone for Bragg, establishing a strong position as an iGaming supplier in Finland well ahead of the market’s upcoming liberalization. We are focusing our efforts on supporting premier partners in high-growth regulated markets, and Finland represents the next major European opportunity. The fact that the SuomiVeto team is composed of the same successful founders behind BetCity.nl, a success story from the regulation of the Dutch iGaming market and a long-standing Bragg partner, underscores their vision and our platform’s proven ability to deliver market-leading results. This partnership is a testament to the power of our complete platform, content, and player engagement ecosystem, and we are confident in SuomiVeto’s ability to capture significant market share when the new licensing regime goes live.”

Melvin Bostelaar, Co-founder of Suomiveto, said: “After the successful journey with BetCity, we are once again partnering with Bragg, a platform provider operating at the very top of the industry. Their premium technology and scalable infrastructure give us the foundation to build another market leader. Finland is next.”

Joey Singels, Co-founder of Suomiveto, said: “Our successful collaboration with Bragg in the Dutch regulated market gives us strong confidence as we begin a new venture in Finland. Together, we believe we can build an exciting brand that will undoubtedly establish a strong market presence.”

The Bragg Gaming Group has announced a strategic partnership with Golden Whale Productions (Golden Whale), a recognized leader in iGaming data science.

This collaboration directly supports the Company’s current strategic objectives of utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to drive cost efficiencies and improve operational excellence and marks a major milestone in Bragg’s roadmap to becoming a fully AI-First company by 2027.

As part of the agreement, Bragg will leverage Golden Whale’s advanced machine learning and proprietary AI models, called Foundation, to enhance the predictive intelligence capabilities of the Bragg Player Account Management (PAM) platform.

As a direct benefit of this partnership and a crucial value differentiator in the market, all Bragg’s current and future platform customers will have the ability to see the benefits of AI-powered predictive intelligence first hand through a proof of concept – proof of value type engagement.

This will provide the clearest illustration to partners that the system is robust and can meet any demands made – representing a crucial operational advantage which can be leveraged by the Company in its 30+ regulated markets.

Building the Bragg AI Brain

“This partnership serves as a foundational step in the development of what we call the Bragg AI Brain, a data-driven artificial intelligence engine designed to power smarter decisions and intelligent products across the Bragg’s Ecosystem,” said Luka Pataky, Bragg’s Executive VP of AI and Innovation.

By integrating Golden Whale’s specialized modeling, Bragg aims to enrich its Predictive Intelligence Layer, enabling the automation of complex workflows, optimization of player incentives and the delivery of hyper-personalized player experiences.

“Partnering with Golden Whale is a major step forward in our strategy to maximize the value of our player base. As we move to reinforce Bragg’s roots and provide long-term business stability, this partnership allows us to further leverage technology efficiencies through the greater proliferation of artificial intelligence. By fuelling the exploitation of AI-led technologies, we are creating opportunities to reduce costs and foster greater improvements to our operational leverage, ensuring excellence across the business,” said Matevž Mazij, Chief Executive Officer at Bragg.

Data-Driven Operational Excellence

The initiative is designed to validate and deploy the most accurate predictive models in the market. Rigorous testing and data modelling approaches aim to achieve precise forecasting in key metrics, including predicting revenue potential at 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year intervals. Furthermore, the system will identify player departure probability windows at 3-day, 7-day, 14-day, and 30-day markers, allowing for proactive retention strategies. These insights will be integrated into Bragg’s operational platform, empowering marketing and operational teams with real-time, actionable data.

“This will allow for the deployment of automated, personalized and most relevant retention and reactivation campaigns and recommendations, directly addressing the Company’s objective to increase proprietary content revenue and expand revenue contribution through optimized partnerships,” added Mr. Mazij.

Golden Whale Productions utilizes AI and machine learning to drive significant growth uplifts based on proven, real-life results. Specifically, their approach has demonstrated a 140% accumulated growth acceleration, representing compound growth achieved within a 12-month period. On a campaign level, the platform delivers a 6% to 20% uplift while simultaneously achieving a 20% reduction in bonus costs. These improvements allow for an immediate return on investment without the need for new tools or workflows.

Eberhard Dürrschmid, CEO of Golden Whale Productions, said: “We are thrilled to work with Bragg on this ambitious project to set a new industry standard. Our AI-driven tools are designed to solve the most complex challenges in iGaming, and maximizing player retention is paramount for platform sustainability. Our joint commitment to enhance player value ensures we will deploy the most powerful, accurate, and cost-effective predictive models available, setting a new standard in how operators can understand and engage with their players.”
