ATG to Appoint New Board as Government Hands Over Control

The Riksdag recently decided on changes to the gambling legislation, which, among other things, means that the state will hand over control of the gambling company ATG to its owners Svensk Travsport and Svensk Galopp.
On Thursday, April 10, the government, together with Svensk Travsport and Svensk Galopp, signed a long-term agreement that ensures the owner-led model in ATG as well as the conditions, state transparency and financing of the Hästnäringens Stiftelse (HNS).
Since ATG was formed in 1974, the state has always had a majority on the company’s board. This remained the case even after the reregulation of the gambling market in 2019, when ATG lost its exclusive right to arrange betting on horses in Sweden. Since the beginning of 2023, Svensk Travsport and Svensk Galopp have had an ongoing dialogue with representatives of the government regarding ATG’s ownership model and the financing and operational direction of HNS.
“It is about trust from the government and the Riksdag. Together with the state, we have built a world-class ATG for fifty years. Now we will have full ownership responsibility based on a continued agreement with the state. The model ensures commercial conditions for the sport’s economic future. We will take good care of it and thereby live up to the trust in a sport with roots throughout the country,” said Anders Källström, chairman of Svensk Travsport.
The relationship with the state is now maintained in a new long-term agreement that ensures a number of fundamental conditions for the ownership of ATG. Among other things, the current ownership structure is regulated, where Svensk Travsport owns just over ninety percent and Svensk Galopp just over nine percent of the shares in ATG. This cannot be changed without the government’s approval.
“From Svensk Galopp’s side, we are proud and happy about the increased trust as a responsible owner of ATG. In the increasingly fierce competition in the gambling market, it is important to have an actor that protects our stakeholders, such as players and the horse industry as a whole,” said Anders Lilius, chairman of Svensk Galopp.
Also the financing of the National Foundation for the Equine Industry (HNS) and that it will continue to be operated on similar grounds as today is established in the new agreement. The state will in future be given the opportunity to appoint a member of the HNS board.
A new board of directors for ATG will now be appointed and the work of the nomination committee is already underway. The proposals from the nomination committee will be presented on 28 April, after which a decision on a new board will be made at ATG’s annual general meeting on 8 May.

Meridianbet Launches “Missions” Gamification Platform to Maximize Player Lifetime Value Across 18 Worldwide Markets

The company deploys data-driven gamification technology to strengthen competitive positioning and accelerate long-term profitability
Meridianbet, a subsidiary of publicly-traded Golden Matrix Group, today announced the launch of Meridian Missions, a player reward system designed to increase user engagement and spending across its global betting and casino operations.
The platform turns regular betting activity into a points-based game where players unlock rewards by completing specific actions like making deposits or playing featured games.
Direct Impact on Revenue Metrics
The three-tier system – Bronze, Silver, and Gold – creates clear spending incentives. Players earn points through deposits, game play, and cross-product usage, with higher tiers offering better rewards including free spins, sports bonuses, and merchandise. The structure is designed to increase both session frequency and average spend per user.
This move represents a direct play on improving unit economics. Customer acquisition costs in iGaming have risen sharply, making retention-focused initiatives like Missions critical for maintaining healthy margins. The system also provides new data points for understanding player behavior and preferences.
Building on Proven Infrastructure
Missions runs on Meridianbet’s latest generation Atlas platform, which already handles over 110,000 betting events monthly across 25+ markets. The company has been operating since 2001 and previously launched an AI-powered bet and casino recommendation system that demonstrated its ability to innovate within the technical constraints of real-money gaming.
The timing aligns with broader industry trends toward gamification, as operators look beyond traditional sports betting and casino games to maintain user interest. Unlike pure-play gaming companies, Meridianbet’s approach integrates rewards directly with real-money wagering, creating a hybrid model that could prove more sustainable than standalone loyalty programs.
Market Context and Growth Strategy
The iGaming sector continues to expand globally, but with increasing regulatory scrutiny and market saturation in key regions. Meridianbet’s focus on engagement over pure acquisition reflects industry-wide recognition that sustainable growth requires deeper relationships with existing customers rather than constant new player recruitment.
The company’s geographic footprint across Europe, Africa, and Americas provides natural expansion opportunities for the Missions platform. Additional features planned for the coming weeks include account verification rewards, birthday bonuses, and referral programs – all designed to create more touchpoints between the brand and its users.
Expansion Timeline
Over the next several weeks, Meridianbet plans to add new account verification reward models, even more creative birthday and anniversary bonuses, active day tracking, and referral incentives. These additions will create more frequent engagement opportunities while providing additional data on player preferences and behavior patterns.
The Missions platform launch represents the latest step in Meridianbet’s evolution from a traditional betting operator to a comprehensive entertainment provider focused on long-term customer relationships.
