Esports Entertainment Group, Inc., a licensed online gambling company with a focus on esports wagering and 18+ gaming, is pleased to announce the closing of its acquisition of LHE Enterprises Ltd, the holding company of online sportsbook and casino operator Argyll Entertainment AG and its operating subsidiaries.
Argyll Entertainment, winners of the Innovative Start-up of the Year at the 2018 EGR Marketing & Innovation Awards, launched its flagship brand, www.sportnation.bet in the summer of 2017.

“Acquisitions are an important component of our growth strategy and completing our first acquisition as a NASDAQ company is a tremendous milestone for us,” commented Grant Johnson, CEO of Esports Entertainment Group. “Argyll generated $12 million in revenue in 2019, and with its base of more than 100,000 registered users, combined with the deep domain knowledge of its accomplished team, we have a strong foundation to build upon as we seek to capitalize on the wealth of opportunities ahead in this rapidly growing market.”
Argyll CEO Stuart Tilly and CFO Dan Marks joined the Esports Entertainment Group senior leadership team in June as Corporate Secretary and Chief Financial Officer, respectively.

Independent evaluation highlights impact of Ygamâs parent programme

Â
An independent evaluation has provided compelling evidence that Ygamâs work is effectively equipping families with the tools and knowledge to safeguard children from gaming and gambling harms.
The evaluation report, conducted by Sherbert Research, examined Ygamâs programme tailored for parents and carers, which includes online workshops, resources, and the Family Hub website.
The evaluation, assessed against Ygamâs comprehensive Theory of Change, found âstrong evidence across all groupsâ of increased understanding of gaming and gambling harms and their impact on behaviour change and the wellbeing of children and young people. It also highlighted that parents regard Ygam as a trusted source of support and information on these subjects.
After attending a Ygam workshop, parents expressed a deeper understanding of their role in supporting children and young people on these issues. The workshops were credited with reducing stigma around gaming and gambling harms and encouraging greater engagement from families. Many parents reported proactively understanding the risks and feeling empowered to start conversations with their children about gaming and gambling, putting boundaries in place before harm occurs.
While parents and professionals are increasingly aware of the risks associated with gaming, fewer recognise childrenâs potential exposure to gambling and gambling-like features, along with the related harms. The report reinforces that Ygamâs work plays a vital role in closing this critical knowledge gap through awareness raising, offering effective safeguarding tools, and providing the guidance and support required to create a safer digital home environment.
The programme was also commended for shifting perceptions around video gaming and microtransactions. They described taking immediate proactive steps such as adjusting screen time, understanding app spending, and setting clearer rules around their childâs online habits.
One parent who took part in the evaluation said: âAfter the session, I checked my sonâs gaming account and realised he had spent over ÂŁ200 on in-game purchases. We talked about it, and Iâve now set up parental controls.â
The high quality and standard of Ygamâs educational content was also praised by parents, with many describing it as âone of the bestâ workshops they had attended for addressing a topical and complex issue, and for delivering accessible knowledge that supports real-life action.
Another parent said: â A friend mentioned Ygam after I shared concerns about my sonâs gaming habits. She had been on the course and said it had really helped her understand how to manage screen timeâ.
Claire Patel, Programme Lead for the Parents and Carers programme at Ygam, said: âWe welcome the findings of this evaluation, which highlight the widespread and meaningful difference our programme is making for families. Parents and carers know their children better than anyone, and they have a crucial role to play â but they consistently tell us they often feel under-informed in todayâs fast-moving digital world. We remain committed to listening to families and providing the information and tools they need to promote healthy habits and safeguard their children from potential harms.â
The evaluation was informed by interviews and video diaries from parents, foster carers, and professionals who attended Ygam workshops between 2023 and 2024.
All recommendations for improvement will be incorporated into the ongoing review and development of Ygamâs programmes to ensure they remain as effective and impactful as possible.

GR8 Tech Launched the Championâs Playbook for High-Performance iGaming Brands

Â
When ESPN Bet crashed during 26% of March Madness game time, it proved what heavyweight operators already know: that level of downtime is unthinkableâand expensive. When youâre processing millions of bets during a single event, every second of uptime and every millisecond of speed directly impact your bottom line.
Thatâs why GR8 Tech created the Championâs Playbook for High Performanceâdistilling lessons from processing billions of bets per year into a tactical guide for operators who refuse to accept âgood enough.â
Inside the guide, operators will discover:
- Three pillars of high performance: the non-negotiable standards for uptime, speed, and scalability that separate champions from contendersâplus the specific benchmarks that matter.
- From heavyweight performance to champion experiences: how to transform solid infrastructure into engaging, personalized player experiences while protecting margins from churn and fraud.
- A hard-hitting due diligence checklist: ready-made questions to evaluate your current provider or efficiently eliminate unsuitable candidates from your shortlist.
âAfter hundreds of conversations with operators, I know exactly whatâs broken in the industry. The checklist cuts through the sales pitch to the questions that actually matter. Use it on any provider, including GR8 Tech. The answers will separate the real heavyweights from the pretenders,â says Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech.
Why this matters now
The iGaming landscape demands excellence. Players expect 24/7 availability, lightning-fast responses, and experiences that feel built just for them. Meanwhile, 70% of businesses struggle with poor data quality, and mobile users abandon sites that take longer than 3 seconds to load. In this environment, technical mediocrity isnât just disappointingâitâs expensive.
Ready to perform like a true iGaming heavyweight?
Download the Championâs Playbook and start building your path to high-performance dominance.
