Scout Gaming publishes Q4 2019: Revenues increased 117% to mSEK 10.0

”I’m happy to once again report a quarter undergoing solid growth, revenues increased by 117% to mSEK 10.0. We are experiencing an accelerating global demand for Scout Gaming’s products, which has resulted in an increased client activity both in terms of number of clients and number of products launched on each client.
Scout Gaming Operator Trading Index which illustrates the underlying client activity amounted to 1035, which is more than a tenfold increase since initiation and compared to the corresponding quarter previous year an increase amounting to 66%. The current growth is a result of previous signed agreements and proves that we are starting to experience results from previous investments in product and organization.
EBITDA improved from mSEK -15.8 to mSEK -8.1. Cash flows from operating activities improved from mSEK -11.2 to mSEK -2.6 during the current fourth quarter. We have a situation where we both have positive operational cash flow and EBITDA result within reach but also facing great growth possibilities.”

2025 NFL season
Betr Kicks Off NFL Season with Revamped Betr Picks, Industry-highest 10,000x Payouts, Free $10 Play, and the Launch of Betr Arcade

Betr, a leading gaming and media business, announced a major revamp of its daily fantasy sports pick ’em product, Betr Picks, along with the official launch of Betr Arcade, just in time for the 2025 NFL season. Betr Picks is currently live in 33 U.S. states plus Washington, D.C., reaching approximately two-thirds of the U.S. population, while Arcade has initially launched in 29 states, giving millions of users access to real-money peer-to-peer skill games.
Betr Picks’ overhaul introduces a new, simplified and modern user interface, expanded sports offerings including WNBA and top global soccer leagues, significantly more projections across both new and existing sports, and its industry-first 10,000X payout multiplier. In addition, the innovative “Mystery Multiplier” feature now allows two-pick lineups, which typically return 3X, to return payouts to users of up to 1000X.
To celebrate the launch, all new users will receive $10 to play for free, no deposit required, during the first two weeks of the NFL season. Additionally, new users will also be eligible for a 50% deposit match up to $200, and all existing users will receive a deposit match for each of the first two weeks of NFL season. With over $250 million already won on Betr, these updates are designed to bring an elevated experience to both new and existing users.
The debut of Betr Arcade marks the company’s entry into the casual peer-to-peer skill gaming space, featuring four initial games: 21, Fruit Match, Crossout 21, and 5 Across with more games rolling out in the coming weeks. Games start at just $1.25 and allow players to practice before entering real-money contests against others. The launch was highlighted by co-founder Jake Paul playing one of the games, 21, in a promotional video shared on social media.
“The Betr app has never been as strong as it is today. Betr Picks is now a top tier daily fantasy sports pick ’em product despite launching just less than two years ago, and we now have Betr Arcade live in 29 states, giving our customers a new skill gaming experience. We now have two nationwide gaming products live in our single Betr app available to users in a single wallet. The innovation won’t stop here – we will be releasing additional new products over the coming months – in addition to releasing several more games within Betr Arcade and further improvements to Betr Picks. The Betr team continues to prove that it ships product with a greater level of velocity than any other company in the industry. Most importantly I am excited for the hundreds of thousands of sports fans and gamers who have already won $250M on Betr to experience an early version of this new first-of-its-kind gaming super app,” said Joey Levy, Founder and CEO of Betr.

Jake Paul-Linked Gambling App Betr Arcade Launches

Betr, the gambling and fantasy sports operator founded by Joey Levy and social media personality-turned-boxer Jake Paul, has introduced Betr Arcade, a cash-based gaming product built on head-to-head competition. The new feature launched earlier this month inside the Betr Picks daily fantasy sports platform and includes four games: 21, Fruit Match, Crossout 21, and 5 Across.
Unlike traditional casino play, these contests pit players directly against one another, rather than against the operator. Entry begins at $1.25 per game, with a practice option available for those who want to try the formats without wagering before entering for money. You should also ensure that you take advantage of a Betr picks promo code before entering for real money.
Levy described Betr Arcade as the company’s dedicated skill-gaming product, noting that it is already live in 29 states. He added that more titles and additional categories will be released in the coming months, broadening the scope of the Betr app beyond fantasy and skill-based contests.
The launch arrives as legal real-money online casinos are only offered in seven states, meaning that most of the nation cannot access regulated content. Focusing on peer-to-peer platforms, which are not subject to the same regulations as casino sites, Betr has been able to provide its services in states that ban casino play.
That includes big markets like Florida, Texas, and California, which have previously seen regulators crack down on against-the-house fantasy games. The peer-to-peer approach has allowed Betr to continue operating while expanding into new skill-based products.
Betr is not the only operator adapting its model to navigate state-level restrictions. Rival daily fantasy sports (DFS) operator PrizePicks has confirmed it no longer offers against-the-house Pick ’em contests in the US, shifting entirely to its peer-to-peer Arena product.
The change took effect on Aug. 22, according to a company spokesperson, who highlighted the move as an effort to deliver a more social and sustainable DFS product.
Previously, PrizePicks offered Pick ’em in 17 states and Washington, D.C., including major markets like California and Texas, where fantasy sports remain unregulated. Arena, first launched in January 2024, requires players to pay an entry fee to join competitions against other users, with prizes awarded to the highest-scoring lineups.
The format has been positioned as less vulnerable to regulatory pushback, as some state authorities have likened Pick ’em contests to sports betting.
PrizePicks had already shifted to Arena-only play in California in June, shortly before the Attorney General’s office issued an opinion stating that all DFS products violated state law. Following that decision, Underdog Fantasy also removed its Pick ’em contests in California.
Currently, PrizePicks is active in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and every Canadian province except Ontario. It has also secured a license in Puerto Rico.

PrizePicks Secures Gaming Licenses in Puerto Rico and Maine

PrizePicks, the largest daily fantasy sports operator in North America, announced it has secured gaming licenses in both Puerto Rico and Maine, marking a major milestone in the operator’s continued growth. With this expansion, PrizePicks becomes the first daily fantasy sports operator to obtain a gaming license in Puerto Rico.
PrizePicks players can now access Arena in Maine, with Puerto Rico set to go live in the coming months. Following the launch, PrizePicks will be operational with its fantasy contests in 47 jurisdictions across the US.
“We’re grateful to the Puerto Rico Gaming Commission and the Maine Gambling Control Unit for their partnership and support throughout the licensure process. We’ve seen tremendous engagement with Arena across the country, and we’re confident that momentum will carry into these new jurisdictions,” said Adam Packer, Senior Vice President of Legal & Compliance at PrizePicks.
