Laedan Bridge advised and facilitated the deal as the iGaming studio targets broader distribution beyond 300+ operators.

F*BASTARDS has secured a seven-figure investment to accelerate game development and global expansion, the iGaming studio said. Malta-based investment brokerage and strategic advisory firm Laedan Bridge acted as strategic advisor and deal facilitator on the transaction.

The studio said the funding will be used to expand its operations, speed up its new game development pipeline, and strengthen distribution across global iGaming platforms. F*BASTARDS said its content is live across 300+ operators and leading aggregators.

Laedan Bridge said it structured and introduced the investment opportunity to its investor network and supported the transaction through to completion.

Justin Anastasi, Principal at Laedan Bridge, said: “From the beginning it was clear that F*BASTARDS was building something different — backed by extensive industry experience. The team brings together creativity, strong product thinking, and the courage to challenge traditional industry formulas. Supporting them in securing this investment was an easy decision, and we are excited to see the studio continue its rapid growth.”

Ugnius Seskas, Co-founder at F*BASTARDS, added: “We didn’t build F*BASTARDS to be another content shop — we built proprietary RGS/RNG infrastructure, and earned our place across 300+ operator integrations before most people had heard the name. This investment lets us push that foundation further: more titles, deeper reach, and a brand that operators and players can’t ignore.”
