Enthusiast Gaming Holdings Inc., a media and content platform for video game and esports fans to connect and engage, is providing select preliminary unaudited financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2021 (“Q4 2021”).
The audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“the Financial Statements”), and related Management Discussion and Analysis (the “MD&A”) are expected to be released on March 24, 2022.
Financial Highlights:
- Revenue in Q4 2021 is expected to be $56.9 million, representing a 34% increase from revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2020 (“Q4 2020”), of $42.5 million, resulting in expected annual revenue in 2021 of $167.4 million (2020 – $72.8 million).
- Gross profit in Q4 2021 is expected to be $13.7 million, representing a 69% increase from gross profit in Q4 2020 of $8.1 million, resulting in expected annual gross profit in 2021 of $37.8 million (2020 – $18.7 million).
- Gross margin in Q4 2021 is expected to be 24.1%, representing a 500 basis point increase from gross margin in Q4 2020 of 19.1%.
- Direct sales in Q4 2021 are expected to be $8.8 million, representing a 167% increase from direct sales in Q4 2020 of $3.3 million, resulting in expected annual direct sales in 2021 of $22.2 million (2020 – $5.0 million). Direct sales are included in revenue.
- Paid subscribers as at December 31, 2021, are expected to be 220,000, representing an 80% increase from paid subscribers as at December 31, 2020, of 122,000.

“These preliminary Q4 results again demonstrate the strength of our unique model, and show our momentum heading into 2022,” said Adrian Montgomery, CEO of Enthusiast Gaming. “We expect to have generated record quarterly revenues in the fourth quarter of 2021, led by our continued strength in direct sales, our ability to acquire and integrate assets such as Addicting Games and U.GG, our ability to attract and retain paying subscribers, and ultimately our flywheel of communities, creators, content, and experiences.”
“Q4 2021 revenue growth is expected to be strong at 34% year-over-year, but is outpaced by the expected gross profit growth of 69%. This is resulting in continued gross margin expansion,” said Alex Macdonald, CFO of Enthusiast Gaming. “Higher yield and higher margin revenue is core to our business model, and we continue to invest in operations that drive this type of growth.”
Fourth Quarter Operational Highlights:
- Completion of the acquisition of League of Legends community U.GG, and expansion of the U.GG desktop app.
- Renewals or additional business with key partners including Proctor & Gamble, HBO Max, TikTok, Disney, and Square Enix.
- Record U.S. unique visitor traffic of 51.8 million recorded in December 2021 as measured by Comscore.
- Expansion of in-game purchasing opportunities and subscription offerings for multiple Addicting Games titles including Little Big Snake, TypeRacer, ev.io, and mope.io.

Gaming Corps goes live with bet365 in Alberta on day one of regulated market
Gaming Corps has launched its online casino content with bet365 in Alberta on the first day of the province’s regulated market opening on 13 July 2026, while also expanding its content distribution with the operator in Ontario and Spain.
The Sweden-based game developer said it is among the first wave of studios fully certified for Alberta’s newly regulated market. Gaming Corps will support bet365’s Alberta entry with more than 50 games at launch, spanning Slots, Table, Plinko, Mine Games and Instant Blitz.
As part of the expanded partnership, Gaming Corps said bet365 will also gain access to its football-themed titles, including Penalty Champion: Goals to Glory, and its 3 Pigs franchise, including 3 Pigs of Olympus, 3 Pigs of Olympus 2: Rise of the DemiHog, and 3 Pigs of the Caribbean.
The rollout also includes Gaming Corps’ Low RTP Blackjack titles, which the company said are designed around 93.57% RTP and approximately 6% operator hold, with flexible branding options and side-bet mechanics.
Graham Greensmith, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Corps, said: “Extending our partnership with bet365 across Spain, Ontario and Alberta is a major moment for Gaming Corps, but Alberta is the real statement here. Going live with bet365 from day one reflects the work our teams have put into certification, onboarding and ensuring we can move quickly and confidently with major operator partners.
“As one of the earliest studios ready for Alberta, we’ll be bringing more than 50 titles to the province. That breadth matters, because it gives operators like bet365 a single partner across multiple verticals, with content designed to support acquisition, engagement and retention across different player segments. Spain and Ontario are also important regulated markets for us and expanding with a global operator of this scale highlights how far Gaming Corps has come in a short period of time.”
Richard Graham, Associate VP of Gaming at bet365at bet365 said: “Gaming Corps has become a valuable content partner, combining recognisable game identities with formats that add variety across our casino offering. We are pleased to extend the partnership into Spain, Ontario and Alberta, with the Alberta launch particularly important as part of our day-one commitment to the market.
“Expanding the relationship across multiple territories in a relatively short period reflects the strength of the collaboration, as well as the Gaming Corps team’s clear product direction, commitment and continued development as a game vendor. We look forward to giving players access to a wide-ranging portfolio from the moment the market opens.”
