Hawkeye and Hoosier State, You’re Up – MaximBet Readies for Indiana and Iowa Launch as Lifestyle Sports Betting Brand Begins Nationwide Expansion
The company, owned and operated by Carousel Group in partnership with Maxim, debuted in September in Colorado and plans multiple market launches in 2022
MaximBet, the lifestyle sports betting and online casino brand owned and operated by Carousel Group and in partnership with Maxim, the premier lifestyle brand, announced today that Indiana and Iowa will be its next two states to launch as part of its ongoing national expansion.
MaximBet, which launched in Colorado late last year, has separated from the pack of traditional sportsbooks by rewarding players with real world, money-can’t-buy experiences and best-in-class customer service. The company recently announced a multi-year partnership with Kambi Group plc, a leading global sports betting provider, and White Hat Gaming, a leading iGaming platform provider, on a technology stack. The partnership will provide players with a fast, intuitive and expansive betting experience featuring an incredible breadth of sports lines, live betting and creative props.
MaximBet LIVE, a division of MaximBet specializing in parties and events, will soon announce plans for kickoff parties in each state featuring entertainers, celebrities, prizes and rewards for current and new customers. The MaximBet LIVE event in Colorado included Fat Joe and Cheat Codes as headline performers and more than $40,000 in prizes. The company just hosted a star-studded event in Los Angeles during the weekend of The Big Game featuring artists like The Chainsmokers, Lil Baby, Gunna and more.
“Indiana and Iowa represent a prime opportunity for MaximBet to bring its world-class sportsbook and unparalleled real-life experiences to two of the most passionate sports markets in the country,” said Daniel Graetzer, CEO, MaximBet. “Sports betting has been a boon for both states since 2019, but sports fans have never experienced anything like the MaximBet LIVE parties, athlete and celebrity meet-and-greets, and in-person entertainment that MaximBet will bring to these two passionate sports states. We can’t wait to show our new users in Indiana and Iowa what we have in store.”
In Colorado, MaximBet has grown into one of the state’s top operators, achieving 75% month-over-month handle gross the last three months and surpassing expectations in both customer acquisition and retention. Along with Indiana and Iowa, MaximBet is expecting to go live in a handful of additional states (and Canada) in 2022.
In December, MaximBet launched its first-ever free-to-play platform, MaximBet Play. Developed in partnership with leading free-to-play provider Splash Tech, the new MaximBet Play app provides sports fans nationwide access to the unmatched gaming experience and epic prizes they’ve come to expect from MaximBet, absolutely free. MaximBet also introduced a groundbreaking Name/Image/Likeness (NIL) deal with all 21+ female student-athletes in Colorado, including Division I, II and III.

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.”
