Bragg Gaming Appoints Former Chair Of Ontario Lottery And Gaming Corp. Paul Godfrey As Interim CEO
Bragg to embark on strategic review of the overall organization
Global gaming technology and content provider Bragg Gaming Group announces that Paul Godfrey, Chair of the Board of Directors, has been appointed to the role of Interim CEO of Bragg Gaming, effective November 15, 2021. Bragg founder and former Interim CEO Adam Arviv will take on the role of Special Advisor to the Chair and CEO. Oryx founder and Vice Chair of the Board of Directors of Bragg Matevž Mazij will also play an integral role in the organization. Richard Carter will step down from the CEO role, effective immediately.
The Board of Bragg Gaming has made the decision to embark upon a strategic review of the overall Company, including the immediate restructuring of the CEO role. The Company’s exceptional performance over the past six quarters includes consistently exceeding revenue and growth targets. While peers continue to trade and transact at significantly higher multiples, Bragg’s continued strong growth has yet to be reflected in the Company’s public market performance, and the Board has determined that a search for new CEO is required.
Paul Godfrey, Chair of the Board of Bragg, has agreed to take on the role of CEO until a replacement is named. Mr. Godfrey is a renowned business leader and Canadian politician, recently holding the role of President and CEO of Postmedia Network and continuing to act as Chair of Postmedia, a company he founded. Mr. Godfrey also previously held the roles of Publisher and CEO of Sun Media and President and CEO of the Toronto Blue Jays. He is a recipient of the Order of Canada and of the Order of Ontario.
“While the global online gaming industry continues to grow exponentially, the North American opportunity is a game changer,” said Mr. Godfrey. “Bragg’s technology and content is well-positioned to take advantage of this new market’s potential and although Bragg’s operations have continued to outperform over recent quarters, the capital markets strategy has not translated into shareholder value. Developing this alignment will be our top priority and absolutely requires a strategic review.”

Bragg Strengthens Executive Team for Enhanced Content Strategy, North American Growth, and AI-First Transformation
Bragg Gaming Group has announced the appointment of Morten Tonnesen as its new Chief Operating Officer and the promotion of Garrick Morris to the position of Executive Vice President of Global Content, US and Canada.
These immediate management changes emphasize Bragg’s strategic focus on aggressively scaling and expanding the high-margin content business globally, especially throughout the US and Canada. This global content business demonstrated significant growth, increasing by 76% in Q4-2025 compared to Q4-2024 and achieving 69% growth for the full year 2025 compared to 2024. This growth is supported by the acceleration of the “Bragg AI Brain” initiative and the company’s future presence in key emerging markets, such as Historical and Live Racing and Prediction markets. The organizational realignment represents the necessary final steps following the structural cost changes announced in January 2026.
Matevž Mazij, CEO of Bragg Gaming Group, said: “I’m thrilled to welcome Morten to Bragg and congratulate Garrick on his promotion. Both leaders are highly qualified, bringing extensive iGaming expertise that will be vital as we embark on our next chapter: becoming a global B2B leader in Content, Engagement, and Infrastructure and what we believe will be iGaming’s ‘AI-First’ company. Our cutting-edge tech stack has moved beyond the investment phase and is now a proven cash generator engineered for horizontal scaling.
“We believe their contributions will strengthen our ability to deliver operational leverage, meet our goals to streamline internal processes, enhance overall efficiency across our organization, and advance us further along the path toward EBITDA growth and net profitability. Importantly, with Morten streamlining operations and Garrick focused on U.S. and Global content expansion, we also believe that we are uniquely positioned to provide the robust iGaming ecosystems required by leading players in the evolving Historical and Live Racing and Prediction markets. We believe Bragg will stand out as the sole B2B provider operating at the convergence of iGaming, Sports, and Predictions.”
As Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Tonnesen’s mandate includes driving operational leverage and implementing Bragg’s ambitious artificial intelligence (AI) transformation. The goal of this transformation is to establish Bragg as an AI-First company by 2027. This transition is supported by specific 2027 objectives: ensuring AI-Enhanced Products are standard in over 90% of new launches and integrating AI into more than three-quarters of Bragg’s operational workflows.
Mr. Tonnesen brings over 17 years of progressive leadership experience in the iGaming, sports betting and technology sectors. He is recognized for his expertise in scaling complex businesses, driving cost efficiencies and operational excellence, and successfully executing high-impact initiatives to expand into new markets and achieve profitable growth. Before joining Bragg, Mr. Tonnesen served as Chief Growth Officer at Xtremepush, a leading provider of AI-powered CRM and loyalty marketing. Prior to his role at Xtremepush, which he joined in 2024, he was Chief Commercial Officer at Shape Games, an award-winning digital B2B platform and service provider for the iGaming industry, which was subsequently sold to Kambi. Earlier in his career, he co-founded and successfully exited the sports betting operator BetWarrior, now a major player in LatAm. He also spent six years in various roles at PokerStars. Mr. Tonnesen holds a Bachelor of Science in General Economics and a Master of Science in Strategy, Management, and Organisation from Copenhagen Business School.
Mr. Tonnesen said: “It has been captivating to watch the scale, scope and speed with which Bragg is already building the Bragg AI Brain and, thereby, transforming itself into an AI-first company. With Bragg navigating a combination of increasingly complex regulatory compliance requirements and recent tax headwinds in the Netherlands and other regions, exciting new emerging market opportunities in the U.S. and elsewhere, and potential consolidation in the overall global iGaming and Prediction markets, my near-term focus will be squarely on helping steer the Bragg AI Brain toward protecting the Company’s cash runway and driving its EBITDA growth.”
Mr. Morris first joined Bragg as Senior Vice President Commercial for the U.S. & Canada in 2024. In an iGaming management career spanning more than 15 years, before joining Bragg, he served as Chief Operating Officer at Digital Gaming Corporation, Operations Manager at Microgaming, and IT Platforms Manager at Derivco. Mr. Morris has a Bachelor of Economics from Stellenbosch University.
Mr. Morris said: “Since I first joined Bragg in May 2024, we have significantly expanded our U.S. content footprint through the launch of our newest games, Remote Gaming Server technology, and Player Account Management platform. I look forward to working with the team to help further accelerate growth, including via our planned strategic entrance into the Historical and Live Racing, and Prediction markets segments, with the aim of enhancing value for our shareholders.”

Adjusted EBITDA
Bragg Gaming Announces Select Preliminary Unaudited Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results, and Issues Full Year 2026 Guidance
Bragg Gaming Group has announced that its preliminary unaudited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025 are expected to come within its previously issued guidance ranges for both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.
The Company anticipates the fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results to include the following highlights:
Fourth quarter 2025 revenues to be approximately EUR 27.7 million, an increase of 1.8% from EUR 27.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, and Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately EUR 6 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin2 of approximately 16.6%), compared to EUR 4.7 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of approximately 17.2%) in the fourth quarter of 2024. High-margin proprietary content revenue grew by 70% in Q4-2025 over Q4-2024, primarily driven by growth in the US.
Full year 2025 revenues to be approximately EUR 106.1 million, an increase of 4.0% from EUR 102.0 million in 2024, and Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately EUR 16.6 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of approximately 15.6%), compared to EUR 15.8 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of approximately 15.5%) in 2024. The Company notes that, excluding the Netherlands given its challenging regulatory environment, expected 2025 revenues would represent an 18% increase from 2024, driven by the Company’s performance in Brazil and the US.
These figures are preliminary and unaudited, and actual revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin may differ.
Bragg is providing this information at this time because of planned investment community meetings to be held ahead of the release of its fourth and full year 2025 financial results and conference call in March 2026.
Anticipated Financial Highlights for 2026
Revenue Guidance: Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2026 is expected to be in the range of EUR 97.0 million to EUR 104.5 million, despite Bragg anticipating that it will have to continue navigating increasingly complex regulatory compliance requirements and recent tax changes in the Netherlands and other regions in which the Company operates.
Adjusted EBITDA Guidance: Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2026 is forecasted to be in the range of EUR 16.0 million to EUR 19.0 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of approximately 16.0% to 18.0%), supported by factors which include a continuing shift toward higher-margin product offerings and the structural cost savings expected from Bragg’s recently announced initiative to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to drive cost efficiencies and improve operational excellence.
Matevž Mazij, Chief Executive Officer for Bragg, said: “Based on the preliminary results, we delivered another record year in 2025, as demonstrated by increased revenue and higher Adjusted EBITDA. Now in 2026, we remain confident in our ability to successfully navigate evolving international regulatory and taxation developments, continue to increase our overall content market share in Brazil and the United States, aggressively pursue emerging alternative markets, such as Historical and Live Racing and Prediction Markets, and move into new jurisdictions that offer opportunities for higher margin content business. At the same time, we plan on thoughtfully harnessing the power of the Bragg AI Brain to reduce our overall cost structure, drive EBITDA growth, and move toward sustained net profitability. We look forward to updating investors as we progress.”
