SkillOnNet’s brand now offers the supplier’s wide range of Bingo products

Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the gaming industry, has signed an agreement that sees its Bingo products available with PlayOJO.

Pragmatic Play’s Bingo vertical is one of the most engaging available in the market, with highly competitive daily jackpots and prizes, as well as plenty of variants to enjoy. Recently, the supplier released an exclusive game, Bingo Blast, which introduced an innovative take on an all-time classic. The entire range of products is now available with PlayOJO.

Bingo Blast is a mobile-first game, designed to allow users to play on the go. The product is designed entirely in-house and it is 3-4 times faster than the average 90-ball Bingo variant. Players are swiftly taken to the most engaging part of the game, making Bingo Blast an ideal product for the current market expectations and modern requirements.

Melissa Summerfield, CCO at Pragmatic Play, said: “I am thoroughly looking forward to seeing our products live with PlayOJO and other SkillOnNet casino brands worldwide. We already went live with Slots and Live Casino with them, and everything went as smoothly and successfully as expected. PlayOJO will now be one of the first brands on the market to offer our entire range of products.”

“Pragmatic Play’s team has worked vigorously to ensure we deliver a stand-out product which I am confident will enable PlayOJO to drive their bingo business forward.”

Michael Golembo at SkillOnNet said: “We are pleased to further enhance our agreement with Pragmatic Play and add their revolutionary Bingo products to our offering.

“We foster a close partnership with Pragmatic, previously taking both its Slot titles and Live Casino products and Bingo is a such a big new strategic move for us, it’s good to have Pragmatic Play Bingo as software partners to ensure it works well. The company’s entire portfolio is available through a single API integration.”

Golden Matrix Group (NASDAQ: GMGI) has officially announced a transformative corporate rebrand to Meridian Holdings Inc., effective March 3, 2026. The strategic move aligns the holding company’s identity with its flagship global betting brand, Meridianbet.

The company will also change its Nasdaq ticker symbol from GMGI to MRDN, reinforcing the new corporate identity as it enters its next growth phase.

Strategic Alignment with Meridianbet Brand

Meridianbet has long served as the operational backbone and most internationally recognized brand within the group’s portfolio. By adopting the Meridian Holdings name, the company aims to unify its corporate structure under the brand most familiar to partners, regulators, and players worldwide.

The rebranding signals:

A streamlined global identity
Clearer brand alignment across markets
Stronger recognition in regulated gaming jurisdictions
Simplified investor communication

As Meridianbet continues expanding across international markets, the corporate name now directly reflects the group’s dominant revenue engine.

Reverse Stock Split to Optimize Capital Structure

Alongside the name change, the company’s Board of Directors approved a 1-for-12 reverse stock split of its common stock.

Key details include:

Effective Date: March 3, 2026 (12:01 AM ET)
New Ticker Symbol: MRDN
New CUSIP: 381098409
Split Ratio: 1-for-12

The reverse stock split will:

Reduce outstanding shares from 151,692,749 to 12,641,062
Reduce authorized shares from 300,000,000 to 25,000,000
Increase the nominal share price proportionally

According to company leadership, the consolidation is designed to ensure compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) minimum bid requirements and to strengthen the company’s capital markets positioning.

The reverse split was approved by the board in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes, without requiring shareholder approval.

Capital Markets Strategy and Institutional Positioning

Company executives described the reverse stock split as a strategic optimization of the capital structure. By consolidating shares, Meridian Holdings aims to:

Enhance institutional investor appeal
Align with public gaming industry benchmarks
Improve liquidity perception
Support long-term shareholder value creation

The restructuring allows leadership to focus on executing growth initiatives across its online gaming and betting platforms while maintaining Nasdaq compliance.

What This Means for Investors and the Gaming Sector

The rebrand and capital restructuring signal several broader strategic themes:

Brand-Centric Corporate Identity
Aligning the holding company name with Meridianbet strengthens brand equity and global recognition.
Regulatory and Market Readiness
The streamlined share structure enhances credibility in public markets.
Institutional Accessibility
A higher nominal share price may attract broader institutional participation.
Growth-Focused Execution
With compliance concerns addressed, management can prioritize expansion and operational scaling.

As Meridian Holdings Inc. begins trading under ticker MRDN, the company positions itself as a more consolidated, brand-driven, and capital-efficient international gaming operator.
