Luckbox CEO Says Move is “Significant Boost” for the Betting Sector

Real Luck Group Ltd. and its subsidiary companies doing business as “Luckbox” (the “Group”), a provider of legal, real money esports betting, has welcomed the news that gambling apps will be available for download in the Google Play Store in 15 countries.

Google’s updated policy, which can be found at https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/10318510, states that starting March 1, 2021, gambling apps will be available for download on Android devices in the U.S., Australia, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Romania, Spain, and Sweden. This expands the geographical reach of Google Play Store gambling apps beyond Brazil, France, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, countries where in-app gambling is already available through the Google Play Store.

Quentin Martin, Real Luck Group Ltd. CEO, said: “Google’s addition of 15 nations (for a total of 19) that can now download gambling apps is a significant boost for the igaming sector. As an operator offering wagering on esports and sports via our Luckbox platform, this is a positive catalyst for the mobile betting sector, as it facilitates further player uptake in a responsible manner and signals the widening global acceptance of gaming.”

According to the European Gaming & Betting Association, mobile betting was expected to account for 45.6% of online gambling revenue in 2020 and to reach 50.8% by 2022, surpassing the use of desktop for the first time. This trend is expected to continue, with mobile betting projected to reach a 58.2% share in 2025. Luckbox is a bespoke platform built to be mobile friendly with about 50% of our traffic coming via mobile users. The addition of a mobile app allows operators an improved connection with customers, such as real-time notifications, deeper integration with devices and additional security features.

Serbian language market now catered for by BetBlocker’s support service

UK and US charity organisation, BetBlocker, synonymous with free and anonymous gambling management support services, in collaboration with Gamblers Connect, is delighted to announce the rollout of the Serbian language version of its app.

In the past 12 months, BetBlocker’s targeted language provision program has rapidly expanded. Understanding the need for friction free use of gambling management tools, the team at BetBlocker is working hard to give users the tools they need to manage their gambling habits, in their native languages. Launching the Serbian language version of the BetBlocker app is another key stepping stone on the pathway to catering for every user in their first language.   With over 7 million Serbian speakers in Serbia alone, and an estimated 3 million elsewhere, this a vast number of individuals now able to access gambling support services in their own language. In 2018, the journal International Gambling Studies, published the results of a study into problem gambling figures in Serbia and noted that 0.5% of the study participants fell into the problem gambling category. Sports betting participants in particular met the markers to gain this classification.  BetBlocker is very keen to make sure that Serbian speakers can easily access the support services that will help them gamble responsibly.

The team at BetBlocker are delighted that an affiliate website such as Gamblers Connect has shown the philanthropic spirit to work with them to offer services that can help protect the most vulnerable players out there.  Without the translation services offered pro bono by Gamblers Connect, BetBlocker would not have been able to launch their Serbian language version, and they would like to extend their thanks to the group for their help and support.

Speaking for Gamblers Connect, Gjorgje Ristikj, the Founder offered the following quote: “I’m glad to see our collaboration with BetBlocker continuing in such a positive and impactful way. Launching the Serbian version is a meaningful step forward, and we’re proud to support responsible gambling initiatives that truly make a difference.”

Duncan Garvie, Founder and Trustee of BetBlocker was thrilled when asked about the most recent language addition: “For me, this project is a win for everyone! Obviously it’s great news for Serbian gamblers that BetBlocker is now available in their language. Servia doesn’t currently have the range of support options for people looking to stop or manage their gambling, so this is a substantial step forwards in terms of harm minimisation.

But alongside this, Gamblers Connect supporting us to deliver this new service to Serbia is a clear statement of intent. The affiliate sector has been substantially under-engaged when it comes to messaging around safer gambling. And affiliates are expert communicators. No-one knows how to communicate a message to players better than affiliates. To have Gamblers Connect work with us on this project sets a fantastic example for the entire affiliate sector. One we hope will foster greater cooperation between charities and affiliates in future.”

“We are thrilled to be reporting a strong start to 2025, showing that we are executing on our strategy and moving the metrics that we believe are most important to shareholder value,” Matevž Mazij, CEO of Bragg commented: “During the quarter we continued to improve our product mix, generating a greater proportion of revenue from high-margin proprietary content. In turn, this contributed to a higher Adjusted EBITDA margin, which combined with careful cost controls demonstrate operational leverage and increased cash generation.

“As is widely reported, the Netherlands market has slowed in recent quarters due to regulatory pressures, a challenge faced by Bragg as with all operators and suppliers who serve this regulated market. I’m pleased that Bragg has shown resilience under these pressures and is reducing its exposure to the Netherlands while seeing strong growth in markets such as the United States and Brazil. Excluding the Netherlands, revenue growth year-over-year came in at a robust 27%1, driven in part by triple-digit growth in the U.S.”
