Start of trading in LeoVegas shares on US market OTCQX

Starting today, LeoVegas’ shares will also be available for trading in USD on OTCQX Markets in the USA. This is a way for the company to meet the steadily growing interest from US investors and provides greater access to the US capital market.
Starting today, 25 March, LeoVegas’ shares will also be available for trading on OTCQX Markets in the US as an F share under the ticker symbol LEOVF. Accessibility on OTCQX will make it easier to meet the growing interest in LeoVegas from American investors and is thereby expected to bolster global trading in the company’s shares. Trading on OTCQX will complement LeoVegas’ current listing on the Nasdaq Stockholm Main Market list.
“Today approximately 12% of our shareholders are from the USA, and we are seeing ever-greater interest in LeoVegas as a company and investment. The decision to also begin trading on OTCQX will help make us more accessible for American investors and thereby enable others to join us on our growth journey going forward. I want to welcome all of the new shareholders that this will bring,” comments Gustaf Hagman, LeoVegas’ Group CEO.
Trading on the OTCQX market offers companies greater access to the US capital market in a smooth and cost-effective way. US investors will now have the opportunity to conveniently trade in LeoVegas’ shares via a local ticker symbol (LEOVF) and in US dollars. Companies listed on a qualified international stock exchange – in LeoVegas’ case Nasdaq Stockholm – have the opportunity through their reporting and the rules of Nasdaq Stockholm to increase their accessibility and exposure to the US capital market. To qualify for trading on OTCQX, a company must meet high financial standards, adhere to best practices of corporate governance and comply with applicable securities laws.

Thunderkick commits to growth in Ontario with Betty partnership

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has agreed a deal with Ontario-based operator Betty to supply the rapidly growing online casino with a diverse collection of globally popular titles.
Betty, an official partner of sporting franchises Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors, has risen to prominence since its 2022 establishment, when it was built following the consultation of 300 casino players to create the optimal iGaming environment.
Distinguishing itself from North American competitors by catering specifically to slot enthusiasts rather than sports bettors, the operator has curated a portfolio of 2,800 games, hand-picked to deliver customers maximum entertainment value.
Thunderkick’s content is the latest to be integrated into Betty’s online casino, and the agreement will see a selection of its most popular titles, including The Wildos 2, Midas Golden Touch 3, and Esqueleto Explosivo 3, made available to a greater number of Ontarian players.
Thunderkick marked its debut in the Canadian province in Q2 of 2024, and has since partnered with a network of leading operators to improve its market position. The collaboration with Betty will further amplify its visibility in a key jurisdiction as the provider looks to reinforce its reputation as a global slot developer.
Svante Sahlström, CCO at Thunderkick, said: “It’s our mission at Thunderkick to go deeper, not wider, in 2025. That means forging meaningful, lasting relationships in target markets as opposed to securing as many commercial deals as possible.
“Since entering Ontario over 12 months ago, we have worked tirelessly to enhance our presence in the province, and working with leading brands such as Betty allows us to bring our unique games to a deeper pool of Canadian players.”
Paraskeva Smirnova, Casino Operations Manager at Betty, added: “Betty’s USP has always been our drive to build a slot portfolio with the very best titles from the industry’s most creative suppliers.
“Thunderkick’s passion for slot development is there for all to see, and the introduction of its games to our casino further elevates the consumer experience.”
