Where to Drive Tier-1 Sport Traffic in April: Top Events & Promos
April continues the high-intensity sports season, with a dense schedule of matches, tournaments, and decisive stages that consistently drive spikes in player engagement and deposit activity. For affiliates, this creates a strong opportunity window to capture high-intent traffic and scale performance during peak moments.
Affiliates working with N1 Partners can run sports-driven traffic across three products: N1 Bet, RollXO and Lucky Hunter.
This gives you the flexibility to scale on a dedicated sportsbook while also expanding monetization through high-converting casino brands. By covering both betting and casino audiences, you can tap into a wider range of user intent and increase overall revenue potential.
This is especially relevant for partners participating in the N1 SEO Traffic Cup, where timing, traffic allocation, and smart scaling directly impact your final results — and where teams can also drive SEO traffic to sports, expanding their coverage and growth opportunities.

Acquisitions/Merger
Bragg Gaming Group to Acquire Drayton International
Bragg Gaming Group announced that it has entered into a binding term sheet (Term Sheet) to acquire Drayton International (Drayton), a diversified gaming technology and content platform.
In conjunction with the closing of the proposed transaction, renowned gaming entrepreneur Matt Davey, Founder and Chairman of gaming-oriented investment fund, Tekkorp Capital, will join Bragg’s Board of Directors (Board) as Non-Executive Chairman, further strengthening the Company’s leadership as it executes its next phase of growth.
In a demonstration of Mr. Davey’s confidence and view on Bragg’s current and future value, he previously purchased a block of 1 million Bragg common shares in a private transaction with the Company’s CEO, Matevž Mazij, in February 2026. The Company estimates that private stock purchase, combined with Mr. Davey’s current Drayton private stock ownership, will result in him having an approximate 10% ownership stake in Bragg following completion of the planned acquisition.
This acquisition represents a bold step forward from its legacy business, as Bragg doubles down on its commitment to crafting captivating proprietary gaming worlds which deliver proven revenue engines for operators and unforgettable experiences for players, with a particular focus on expansion across North America.
This strategic clarity is complemented by a refreshed brand presence, featuring a vibrant new aesthetic that reflects Bragg’s ‘games-first’ commitment. Being games-first is more than the expression implies — it means changing not only games, but also how they are built, delivered, and monetized.
Bragg already combines battle-tested content and player management expertise with smart technology. But this evolution sharpens the focus on what makes Bragg a unique value proposition in the iGaming sector; a data rich, user experience-obsessed, games-first engineering leader. Bragg not only supplies the games that today’s players demand, but also streamlines everything. This optimizes players’ end-to-end journey, redefining Bragg’s core products into one coherent ecosystem.
Transaction Overview
Pursuant to the Term Sheet and subject to entering into a definitive acquisition agreement and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, Bragg will acquire 100% of the equity interests of Drayton for 4.5 million newly issued Bragg common shares priced at US$2.00 per share. Bragg will also hold rights which will provide it with a contractual path to full ownership of all five of Drayton’s portfolio studios.
Bragg expects that Drayton’s leadership and development teams will continue with the Company post-closing.

Century Casinos Announces Appointment to Top Leadership Role in the US
Century Casinos Inc. announced that Lyle Randolph, a long-term regional Vice President and General Manager of the Company, will take over as Executive Vice President of Operations for the US.
Mr. Randolph will be appointed to this new role effective May 15, 2026. As Executive Vice President of Operations for the US, Mr. Randolph will oversee the Company’s seven U.S. properties. These casinos comprise a combined 4701 slot machines, 93 table games, 2127 hotel rooms, and over 20 food and beverage venues.
Mr. Randolph is a veteran gaming and hospitality executive with more than 30 years of leadership experience in casino operations, hotel and food & beverage management, capital development, and multi-property strategic oversight. He began his gaming career in 1995 at Casino Aztar in Missouri. When Isle of Capri Casinos acquired the property, he became General Manager of both Caruthersville and Cape Girardeau. Throughout his leadership tenure, he successfully navigated the properties through multiple ownership transitions involving Isle of Capri Casinos and Eldorado Resorts while operating under the leadership and mentorship of notable gaming industry executives including James Perry, Virginia McDowell, Eric Hausler, Gary Carano, and Tom Reeg. These experiences provided exposure to a broad spectrum of leadership philosophies ranging from entrepreneurial founder-led management and family-driven regional gaming growth to highly analytical, public-company expansion strategies. During his tenure with Isle of Capri Casinos, Mr. Randolph received the company’s Jack Galloway Award recognizing leadership and operational achievement.
Since Century Casinos’ acquisition of the Missouri properties in 2019, Mr. Randolph has served as Vice President of Operations for both Missouri casino properties. Mr. Randolph has overseen more than $80 million in combined capital development projects, which has resulted in Adjusted EBITDAR growing over 70% under his leadership.
In addition to his operational responsibilities, Mr. Randolph has remained active in civic, charitable, and industry leadership initiatives throughout his career, including statewide advisory appointments and leadership roles with regional business, tourism, humanitarian, and gaming organizations, underscoring his understanding of the value of responsible corporate citizenship. Mr. Randolph’s established track record as a results-oriented and effective leader will continue to drive the Company’s growth within the gaming and hospitality industry.
