First quarter revenue increases 62 per cent and Adjusted EBITDA increases by 234 per cent

2021 revenue guidance maintained at €47M

Accelerating rollout of proprietary in-house developed slot content

B2B gaming technology and content provider Bragg Gaming Group today released its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

“We’ve continued to build on the strong momentum of 2020 with an excellent first quarter,” said Richard Carter, CEO of Bragg Gaming. “Revenue is up by 62 per cent year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA increased by 234 per cent. We’ve also seen a 54 per cent increase in the number of unique players using Bragg content, have launched nine new operators and our customer pipeline for the remainder of 2021 is expected to continue to grow and expand globally, underpinning future company growth in 2021.

“We continue to invest in our employees, our technology and our product offering, and this has allowed us to commercialise our in-house casino content studio, with our first game recently launched across our network,” continued Mr. Carter. “With further in-house casino games and player engagement tools scheduled for upcoming release, and our acquisition of Spin Games LLC laying the foundation for our strategy of building a tier one vertically integrated iGaming business in the U.S., Bragg Gaming has never been better positioned for long-term success.”

Q1 2021 financial highlights

Revenue increased by 62 per cent to €14.2M (C$20.9M[1]) in the first quarter of 2021, compared to €8.8M (C$12.9M) for the first quarter of 2020, maintaining quarterly growth momentum since Q1 2019
Quarter-over-quarter revenue increase of 3 per cent, from €13.8M (C$20.3M) in the fourth quarter of 2020 to €14.2M (C$20.9M) in the first quarter of 2021

The number of unique players[3] using Bragg games and content increased by 54 per cent up to 2.4M, from 1.6M during the comparable period in Q1 2020
Gross profit increased by 68 per cent to €6.6M (C$9.8M), compared to €4.0M (C$5.8M) with an increase in margins from 45 per cent to 47 per cent, mainly attributed to the shift in proportion of revenues from games and content to iGaming and turn-key services, the latter of which have lower associated cost of sales
Net loss for the period was €1.1M (C$1.6M), a decrease of €4.6M (C$6.8M) from Q1 2020, mainly due to the full settlement of the ORYX earn-out on January 18, 2020, resulting in nil expenditure from re-measurement of deferred and contingent consideration and accretion on liabilities in the current quarter (Q1 2020: €5.0m)
Adjusted EBITDA[4] was €2.3M (C$3.4M) in Q1 2021, up 234 per cent compared to €0.7M (C$1.0M) in Q1 2020, with an increase in margins from 8 per cent to 16 per cent, primarily as a result of higher scale
Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021 increased to €30.1M (C$44.3M) compared to €26.1M as of December 31, 2020 (C$38.4M)

Supplier content is already live on BetMGM in Ontario, with Party Casino & Sports Interaction lined up ahead of Alberta’s July iGaming opening.

Gaming Corps has expanded its partnership with Entain, extending distribution of its casino content across more Entain brands and markets, with Canada positioned as a key near-term focus.

The supplier went live with Entain’s joint venture BetMGM in Ontario in December 2025, followed by a wider Entain rollout in the province in March 2026. Gaming Corps and Entain are also preparing for Alberta’s regulated iGaming market opening in July, with Gaming Corps content “ready to go live from day one with BetMGM” and Party Casino & Sports Interaction to follow.

Outside Canada, Gaming Corps said it completed a full content launch in Brazil with Sportingbet and Betboo in May, and launched 3 Pigs of Olympus exclusively across Entain’s UK-facing Ladbrokes, Coral Gala and Foxy brands in June. The company also said additional launches are being prepared for Portugal, Spain and New Zealand.

The latest phase includes football-themed titles such as Penalty Champion, Goals to Glory: Football Fever and Goals to Glory: Instant Blitz, alongside the supplier’s 3 Pigs IP. Graham Greensmith, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Corps, said: “For Gaming Corps, this is a huge milestone. Entain is one of the biggest names in global gaming, so to see our relationship grow in this way is a clear sign of the trust, performance and commercial value we have built together.

“What makes this particularly exciting is the scale of the opportunity. This is not a single-brand launch or a one-market rollout. Entain is continuing to take Gaming Corps content into more territories, across more of its brands, and that says a lot about where we are as a business.

“We have worked hard to build a portfolio that gives major operators real flexibility, from high-performing IP to timely, event-led content and new game formats. To see that strategy being recognised by a partner of Entain’s calibre is incredibly rewarding, and we are very excited about what comes next.”

Obdulio Bacarese, Global Gaming Director at Entain, added: “Gaming Corps has been a valuable partner over the last four years. The strength of the relationship lies in how easily the content can be activated around different commercial priorities, from supporting new market entries to adding timely releases around key calendar moments. The studio understands the need for content that is flexible, relevant and easy to position locally, and we are pleased to continue building on the partnership.”

Gaming Corps, a publicly listed game development company based in Sweden, has expanded its partnership with Entain, one of the world’s largest sports betting and gaming groups, marking the latest phase of a relationship that began with the companies’ original partnership agreement in 2022 and now spans multiple Entain brands.

Canada is a major focus for the extended partnership. Gaming Corps went live with Entain’s Joint Venture, BetMGM in Ontario in December 2025, followed by a wider Entain rollout in the province in March 2026. Both are now preparing for the opening of Alberta’s regulated iGaming market in July, with the studio’s content ready to go live from day one with BetMGM and Party Casino & Sports Interaction following shortly after.

The partnership has also continued to grow internationally, with Gaming Corps completing a full content launch in Brazil with Sportingbet and Betboo in May of this year, followed by the exclusive launch of 3 Pigs of Olympus across Entain’s UK-facing Ladbrokes, Coral Gala and Foxy brands in June.

Additional market launches in Portugal, Spain and New Zealand are also being prepared.

The latest phase includes a mix of Gaming Corps’ most recognisable content, from football-themed titles such as Penalty Champion, Goals to Glory: Football Fever and Goals to Glory: Instant Blitz, to the studio’s high-performing 3 Pigs IP.

Graham Greensmith, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Corps, said: “For Gaming Corps, this is a huge milestone. Entain is one of the biggest names in global gaming, so to see our relationship grow in this way is a clear sign of the trust, performance and commercial value we have built together.
