BonusFinder granted Michigan licence

With online sports betting coming to Michigan imminently, local gambling fans will be delighted to learn that BonusFinder.com has been granted an affiliate licence for the US state.
The move could not have been timed better, with sports betting on the verge of being made legal either by the end of 2020 or early in the new year. And with upwards of 10million people living in the state, Michigan has the potential to be a significant online gaming market.
BonusFinder managing director Fintan Costello explained what the new licence means for players: “We are now legally allowed to operate in the state, which means that once sportsbooks start launching, BonusFinder can list them on the site, write reviews and provide the people of Michigan with the best bonus codes for the sites that are due to launch.”
Michigan sportsbook licence applications were invited in summer 2020, open to commercial land-based casinos and tribes within the state. Following this announcement, many of the world’s leading online sportsbook and gaming suppliers entered into agreements with Michigan casinos, including Kambi with the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, Rush Street Interactive with the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians/Little River Casino, and DraftKings with Bay Mills Casino.
Costello was also enthusiastic about the ease of the licensing process. He said: “It was a relatively straightforward process compared to some other states, so we are very grateful for the Michigan Gaming Control Board – the whole process took a little over two months.”
The latest licence comes after a big year for the company, who have already been granted permission to bring BonusFinder to players in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia, Colorado, Tennessee, and Illinois.
Michigan is home to 24 tribal casinos under 12 tribal compacts, while Detroit has three further casinos; the 27 casinos generated a combined £2.87bn in revenue in 2019.
The freshly-minted online gaming and sportsbook regulations have arrived with a competitive tax rate for casinos, so analysts expect Michigan to be a major market. Figures in the region of $650m in revenue for the first year have been touted in some corners, which would generate significant tax revenue.
BonusFinder.com’s Fintan Costello is available for interview on the subject of US state licensing. Contact Jon Bruford for information.

Raketech Announces Divestment of Casumba Assets

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Raketech Group Holding Plc announced an agreement to sell the Casumba assets due to regulatory developments affecting its markets.
The transaction, valued at a fixed consideration of EUR 12 million, will be paid in monthly instalments through December 2029, with no upfront cash payment. Under IFRS 9 accounting standards, the deferred consideration has been measured at the fair value of approximately EUR 7 million at closing. The EUR 5 million difference between the fixed consideration and the fair value reflects an element of ongoing credit risk and the extended payment schedule. Any further adjustments will be recognised through the profit and loss account over the payment period, in accordance with IFRS 9 requirements.
The consideration carries an 8% interest rate and will be paid in variable monthly instalments through December 2029.
The sale supports Raketech’s platform-first strategy, focusing on core markets and sustainable growth in iGaming affiliation. The decision to divest Casumba stems from recent regulatory shifts in its markets. This move aims to remove regulatory risks, and redirect capital to Raketech’s leading iGaming affiliation platform, AffiliationCloud.
The Casumba assets generated annualised revenues of approximately EUR 4.0 million with an EBITDA of EUR 2.9 million, based on the Q2 2025 run rate.
Raketech will record a non-cash loss on disposal of approximately EUR 10 million in Q3 2025. This loss primarily arises from the difference between the book value of the Casumba assets and the IFRS 9 fair value of the consideration. The loss on disposal is a one-off, non-recurring loss and will not impact Raketech’s cash flow or operational performance.
The transaction has been signed and closed on 24 September 2025.
Johan Svensson, CEO of Raketech, said: “This sale marks another step in refining our portfolio and concentrating on our core goal of creating the top commercial platform for iGaming affiliation. By divesting Casumba, we eliminate regulatory exposure and unlock resources for growth opportunities. This transaction reflects our dedication to sustainable shareholder value and financial discipline.”
