Swedish gaming operator Cherry AB is exploring options to sell its online casino and sports betting subsidiary, ComeOn Group, as part of a strategic shift in focus.

Cherry, owned by private equity firm Bridgepoint, is reportedly working with financial advisors at Moelis and Jefferies to evaluate the best course of action for its Malta-based subsidiary. According to insiders familiar with the matter, the possible sale could value ComeOn at around €500 million, based on its projected earnings for 2025.

The consideration to sell ComeOn aligns with a broader trend among European gambling operators that are offloading consumer-facing assets to concentrate on their business-to-business (B2B) services and software development.

International Accolade for Campaign from the Danish Gambling Authority

At a conference for gambling regulators from all around the world, the Danish Gambling Authority has been awarded “Best regulatory campaign”. The award was given for the Danish Gambling Authority’s campaign “The One-Armed Bandit”, which on social media highlighted the consequences of gambling for young people under the age of 18.

The award was presented by a jury from the International Association of Gaming Regulators, an association of 81 gambling authorities from around the world. Every year, they gather for a conference to discuss current gambling topics across countries. This year, the conference was held in Rome under the heading “Navigate the future of gaming regulation in a transforming world”.

It was a proud Director of the Danish Gambling Authority, Anders Dorph, who received the statuette in front of the 400 participants at the conference gala dinner.

“I am incredibly proud and happy that we have won this award! It is a very special recognition and honour that our colleagues from all over the world have chosen our campaign,” said the Director.

Campaign personifies gambling addiction

Despite the fact that most types of gambling have an age limit of 18, a study by the Danish Gambling Authority in 2023 showed that 15% of young people aged 15-17 have gambled.

To prevent this and to prevent young people from becoming addicted to gambling, the Danish Gambling Authority launched the campaign “The One-Armed Bandit” in December last year, targeting young people aged 14 to 17.

The campaign talks about the potential consequences of gambling in a humorous and exaggerated way.

It does this through the fictional character, “The One-Armed Bandit”, who is the personification of gambling addiction. In videos on social media, the One-Armed Bandit tries to lure young people to gamble in unorthodox ways. He uses humour, sarcasm and provocative language to achieve his goal.

To spread awareness of the One-Armed Bandit among the target audience, the Danish Gambling Authority used influencers, among other things.

“It’s a very different campaign from our previous campaigns. It required completely new approaches and a lot of courage to reach a new and very young target group. The people we wanted to reach are very hard to reach with campaigns, but with “The One-Armed Bandit” we hit the mark and I’m very proud of that,” said Anders Dorph.

International recognition

When the nomination was written and sent to the jury for evaluation, Anders Dorph and the rest of the Danish Gambling Authority were very excited: “It’s one thing for us in little Denmark to think it was an unconventional campaign, but would our colleagues in the rest of the world understand the irony or would they think it was really about being enticed to play?”

The concern was put to rest when Anders Dorph, on behalf of the Danish Gambling Authority, lifted the trophy for the award, which was won in competition with three other countries’ campaigns.

“There was a great diversity in the nominees’ submissions, reflecting our members’ increasing efforts to improve the regulation of the gambling market,” said Sarah Kelly, Vice President of IAGR.

Campaign with impact

Subsequent surveys among the target audience showed that the One-Armed Bandit had actually made them reflect on their relationship with gambling: 44% said the campaign had made them think about how often they gamble and how much money they spend and 41% indicated that they have talked to their friends about how difficult it can be to control their gambling.

“It’s fantastic to be able to say that we have made a difference,” said Anders Dorph, who is also aware that the great results are a contributing factor to the authority being able to take home the international award from Rome.

He is joined by Sarah Kelly from IAGR: “The winners stood out for their commitment to improving standards to regulate the gaming market for the benefit of both industry and consumers.”

The agency Advice, in collaboration with the Danish Gambling Authority, is behind the campaign, which features comedian David Minerba in the role of the One-Armed Bandit.

The Executive Development Programme (EDP), a partnership between UNLV International Gaming Institute and the University of Nevada, Reno, stands as the pinnacle of gaming leadership education. This intensive 8-day professional development programme, now in its 35th year, is tailored for future C-suite executives in the gaming industry. With over three decades of excellence and more than 1600 alumni worldwide, the EDP focuses on developing leadership, management, and strategic thinking skills. It emphasises strategic issues in casino gaming while providing global networking opportunities, offering participants a unique chance to establish lasting professional relationships with industry peers.

ECA Board Member Tiina Siltanen underscores the importance of this initiative, stating, “Promoting diversity and inclusion in the land-based casino industry remains a cornerstone of the ECA’s mission. These scholarships play a pivotal role in fostering these values, providing opportunities for underrepresented groups to rise in the industry and bring unique perspectives to decision-making roles.”

The ECA firmly believes that a diverse and inclusive environment enhances employee engagement and satisfaction. The scholarships awarded to the Executive Development Programme are instrumental in nurturing these values within the land-based casino sector, creating pathways for currently underrepresented groups to ascend in the industry and contribute their unique perspectives to decision-making roles.

The ECA extended its sincere gratitude to its partners – Clarion, AGEM, and the Universities of Las Vegas and Reno – for their unwavering support and commitment to this transformative scholarship programme. Their ongoing dedication ensures that all costs, including travel, accommodation, and the training programme, are covered for the scholarship recipients.

This initiative not only enhances employee engagement and satisfaction but also propels the European casino industry towards a more diverse and inclusive future.
