In terms of Articles 41 and 42 of the Articles of Association of the Company
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that that AN EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING (the “Meeting”) of Kambi Group plc, company number C 49768 (the “Company”) will be held on Thursday 30 June 2022 at 11.00 CEST at Kambi, Hälsingegatan 38, 113 43 Stockholm, Sweden, to consider the following Agenda. The registration of shareholders starts at 10.30 CEST.

Right to attendance and voting

  • To be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting (and for the purpose of the determination by the Company of the number of votes they may cast), shareholders must be entered on the Company’s register of members maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB by Thursday 9 June 2022.
  • Shareholders whose shares are registered in the name of a nominee should note that they may be required by their respective nominee/s to temporarily re-register their shares in their own name in the register of members maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB in order to be entitled to attend and vote (in person or by proxy) at the Meeting. Any such re-registration would need to be effected by Thursday 9 June 2022. Shareholders should therefore liaise with and instruct their nominees well in advance thereof.
  • To be entitled to attend and vote in person at the Meeting, shareholders must notify Euroclear Sweden AB of their intention to attend the Meeting by Thursday 9 June 2022 and can do so by (i) e-mail to Generalmeetingservice@euroclear. com or (ii) mail to: Kambi Group plc, c/o Euroclear Sweden AB, Box 191, SE-101 23 Stockholm, Sweden or (iii) by phone on +46 8 402 9092 during the office hours of Euroclear Sweden AB. Notification should include the shareholder’s name, address, email address, daytime telephone number, personal or corporate identification number, number of shares held in the Company, as well as details of any proxies (if applicable, in the case that the shareholder has appointed a third party representative to attend the Meeting in their stead). Information submitted in connection with the notification will be computerised and used exclusively for the Meeting. See below for additional information on the processing of personal data.

Shareholders’ right to appoint a proxy

  • A shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting, is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote on his or her behalf. A proxy need not also be a shareholder. If the shareholder is an individual, the proxy form must be signed by the appointer (or his authorised attorney) or comply with Article 126 of the Articles. If the shareholder is a corporation, the proxy form must be signed on its behalf by an authorised attorney or a duly authorised officer of the corporation or comply with Article 126 of the Articles.
  • Proxy forms must clearly indicate whether the proxy is to vote in their discretion or in accordance with the voting instructions sheet attached to the proxy form. Your proxy shall vote as you have directed in respect of the resolutions set out in this notice or on any other resolution that is properly put to the meeting. If the proxy form is returned to the Company without any indication as to how the proxy shall vote, generally or in respect of a particular resolution, the proxy shall exercise their discretion as to how to vote or whether to abstain from voting, generally or in respect of that particular resolution (as applicable).
  • Where the shareholder is a corporation, a document evidencing the signatory right of the officer signing the proxy form, must be submitted with the proxy form. Where the proxy form is signed on behalf of the shareholder by an attorney (rather than by an authorised representative, in the case of a corporation), the original power of attorney or a copy thereof certified or notarised in a manner acceptable to the Board of Directors must be submitted to the Company, failing which the appointment of the proxy may be treated as invalid.
  • The original signed proxy form and, if applicable, other supporting documents (required pursuant to the above instructions), must be received by Euroclear Sweden AB no later than Thursday 9 June 2022 by (i) e-mail to Generalmeetingservice@euroclear .com or (ii) mail to: Kambi Group plc, c/o Euroclear Sweden AB, Box 191, SE-101 23 Stockholm, Sweden. Shareholders are therefore encouraged to submit their proxy forms (and other supporting documents, if any) as soon as possible.
  • Proxy forms are available on the Company website  under the General Meetings section.
  • Aggregated attendance notifications and proxy data processed by Euroclear Sweden AB must be transmitted to and received by the Company by email at Mia.Nordlander@kambi .com not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the Meeting and in default shall not be treated as valid.

Special Business (Extraordinary Resolutions)

7. THAT the Directors be and are hereby duly authorised and empowered in accordance with Articles 85(1) and 88(7) of the Companies Act and Article 3 of the Articles, on one or several occasions prior to the date of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company, to issue and allot up to a maximum of 3,106,480 Ordinary ‘B’ shares in the Company of a nominal value of €0.003 each (corresponding to a dilution of 10% of total shares as at the date of the notice to the 2022 Annual General Meeting) for payment in kind or through a direct set-off in connection with an acquisition, and to authorise and empower the Directors to restrict or withdraw the right of pre-emption associated to the issue of the said shares. This resolution is being taken in terms and for the purposes of the approvals necessary in terms of the Companies Act and the Articles of Association of the Company. (Resolution a)

8. WHEREAS (i) at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company held on 30 March 2022, the Directors resolved to obtain authority to buy back Ordinary ‘B’ shares in the Company having a nominal value of €0.003 each; and

(ii) pursuant to Article 5 of the Articles and Article 106(1) (b) of the Companies Act a company may acquire any of its own shares otherwise than by subscription, provided inter alia authorisation is given by an extraordinary resolution, which resolution will need to determine the terms and conditions of such acquisitions and in particular the maximum number of shares to be acquired, the duration of the period for which the authorisation is given and the maximum and minimum consideration.

NOW THEREFORE the members of the Company resolve that the Company be generally authorised to make purchases of Ordinary ‘B’ shares in the Company of a nominal value of €0.003 each in its capital, subject to the following:

(a) the maximum number of shares that may be so acquired is 3,106,480 which is equivalent to 10% of total shares as at the date of the notice to the 2022 Annual General Meeting;

(b) the minimum price that may be paid for the shares is SEK1 per share;

(c) the maximum price that may be paid for the shares is SEK1,000 per share;

(d) the maximum aggregate number of shares that can either be i) issued and allotted under Resolution a and, ii) bought back under this Resolution b, shall not exceed 3,106,480; and

(e) the authority conferred by this resolution shall expire on the date of the 2023 Annual General Meeting, but in any case shall not exceed the period of 18 months, but not so as to prejudice the completion of a purchase contracted before that date. (Resolution b)

9. Closing of the Extraordinary General Meeting


Information about proposals related to Agenda items

Both extraordinary Resolutions, Resolutions a and b, were presented in their entirety to the Annual General Meeting held on 17 May, 2022 (which resolutions were referred to therein as resolutions m and n respectively), and obtained one majority of two required in terms of article 135 of the Companies Act (Cap 386), and in terms of Articles 48B.2(b) of the Articles of Association of the Company. To this end, this Extraordinary General Meeting is being convened within 30 days of the Annual General Meeting, in accordance with the aforementioned provisions of the Companies Act and the Articles, in order to take a fresh vote on the proposed extraordinary resolutions.

Agenda item 7 (Resolution a)
The objectives of the authorisation are to increase the financial flexibility of the Company and to enable the Company to use its own financial instruments for payment in kind or through a directed set-off to a selling partner in connection with any business acquisitions the Company may undertake or to settle any deferred payments in connection with business acquisitions. The market value of the shares on each issue date will be used in determining the price at which shares will be issued. For the purposes of Article 88(7) of the Companies Act, through this resolution the members of the Company are also authorising the Board of Directors to restrict or withdraw the members’ right of pre-emption that would normally entitle members to be offered the newly issued shares in the Company in proportion to their shareholding before such new shares are offered to third parties.

Agenda item 8 (Resolution b)
The Board of Directors proposes that the acquisition by the Company of its own shares shall take place on First North Growth Market at Nasdaq Stockholm or via an offer to acquire the shares to all members of the Company. Such acquisitions of own shares may take place on multiple occasions and will be based on market terms, prevailing regulations and the capital situation at any given time. Notification of any purchase will be made to First North Growth Market at Nasdaq Stockholm and details will appear in the Company’s annual report and accounts. Any resolution to repurchase own shares will be publicly disclosed. The objective of the buyback and transfer right is to ensure added value for the Company’s shareholders and to give the Board increased flexibility with the Company’s capital structure.

Following such buybacks, the intention of the Board would be to either cancel, use as consideration for an acquisition or transfer to employees under a company share incentive plan. Once repurchased, further shareholder and Bondholder approval would be required before those shares could be cancelled.

If used as consideration for an acquisition the intention would be that they would be issued as shares and not sold first.

Yaspa wins Best Payment Solution at SBC Awards Europe 2026

Published

yaspa-wins-best-payment-solution-at-sbc-awards-europe-2026

Fintech’s open-banking-based Intelligent Payments pitch focuses on Pay by Bank deposits plus real-time affordability and AML checks.

Yaspa has been named Best Payment Solution at the SBC Awards Europe 2026, held at Xara Lodge in Malta. The company said it won for its Intelligent Payments product, which combines real-time Pay by Bank transactions with AI-driven customer insights and verification.

According to Yaspa, Intelligent Payments is built on open banking infrastructure and uses consented access to real-time player financial data. The company said this enables operators to assess affordability, AML risk and financial vulnerability in under 10 seconds, before funds enter play, while keeping the process “document-free” for most users.

Yaspa CEO James Neville said: “We’re delighted to be recognised as Best Payment Solution at the SBC Awards Europe. This award is particularly meaningful because it reflects the shift we’re seeing across the industry – where payments are no longer just transactional, but a critical point for compliance, insight and player protection.

“By embedding real-time intelligence directly into the deposit flow, we’re helping operators meet evolving regulatory expectations while also delivering a faster, smoother experience for players.”

The company positioned its approach as an alternative to traditional verification, using a single consented bank connection to produce a financial profile that includes income patterns, cash flow volatility and indicators such as overdraft usage. Yaspa also cited structured user testing showing conversion rates of 74% versus around 15% for document-based KYC flows.

Yaspa said its risk intelligence is supported by research with the Behavioural Insights Team, analysing 733 consented open banking datasets to identify markers of gambling harm such as multi-operator activity and clustered deposits, which it said are embedded into its decisioning engine. The company said it is live with UKGC-licensed operators and expanding across Europe.

Tugi Tark whitepaper puts AI iGaming support at €0.15 per ticket

Published

tugi-tark-whitepaper-puts-ai-igaming-support-at-e0.15-per-ticket

Tugi Tark has released a 2026 whitepaper, The economics of AI-powered iGaming customer support, arguing that AI changes the unit economics of player support and can reduce costs compared with human-led operations.

The report cites “verified pricing” of EUR 0.15 per AI-handled ticket. It compares that with fully loaded employer costs for human support in Romania and Bulgaria of EUR 1.73 to EUR 1.88 per ticket. At a “realistic” 70% AI containment rate, the whitepaper claims a blended cost of about EUR 0.67 per ticket, which it describes as roughly a 64% reduction versus a human-only baseline of EUR 1.88.

Tugi Tark says its analysis draws on Eurostat 2024 labour cost data, published research on AI chatbot benchmarks, independent iGaming player behaviour research, and operational data from its own deployments. The company estimates operators can achieve a 55% to 75% reduction in total support expenditure, and argues AI can absorb volume spikes—such as during major sporting events—without additional hiring or training lag.

Harpo Lilja, founder and CEO of TUgi Tark, said: “In 2026, the ‘wait-and-see’ approach to AI is costing operators millions in unnecessary overhead. We aren’t just talking about chatbots; we’re talking about a fundamental shift in the unit economics of player retention.”

The whitepaper also frames customer support as a retention lever, stating that payment issues account for 52% of ticket volume and that slower response times drive churn. It claims a 0.5 percentage point churn reduction could retain an additional 500 players per month for a mid-sized operator, translating to €200,000 in annual revenue based on an assumed €400 Player Lifetime Value. Tugi Tark also claims AI agents average ~7 seconds for first response versus ~60 seconds for human agents, and outlines use cases across Responsible Gambling escalation, KYC/AML workflows, and GDPR-aligned data sovereignty.

Who Actually Gambles Online in Poland

Published

on

who-actually-gambles-online-in-poland

Talk to ten people in Warsaw about online gambling and you’ll get ten different reactions. Some shrug it off as a niche hobby. Others swear half their friends bet on football every weekend. The truth, as always, sits somewhere in between — and the data tells a more interesting story than either crowd assumes.

Poland’s online gambling market has grown into one of the most peculiar in Europe. It runs on a state monopoly for casino games, a private licensing system for sports betting, and a stubborn grey market that refuses to disappear. So who is actually placing the bets?

A Market of 20 Million Potential Players

Roughly 20 million Poles take part in some form of gaming entertainment, including both real-money gambling and free-to-play games. That’s a huge slice of a country with just over 38 million people.

The gender split across the broader gaming audience is more even than most assume — roughly 53% male and 47% female. But once you zoom in on real-money online casino and sportsbook play, the picture skews heavily male, particularly in the 25-to-44 age bracket.

The Polish iGaming sector, including casino, sports betting, and lottery, was valued at around PLN 12 billion in 2025, with the casino games segment projected to grow at a compound annual rate of roughly 7% through 2029.

The Core Demographic

Polish researchers have studied online gambling habits for years, and the consistent finding is that e-gambling skews younger than offline gambling. A peer-reviewed study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health identified gender, age, city size, education, and income as significant predictors of online gambling involvement — with men, younger people, and lower-income groups overrepresented.

Mobile is the dominant device. Across Europe, mobile is projected to handle about 58% of online gambling revenue, climbing toward 67% by 2029, according to data from the European Gaming and Betting Association. Poland sits firmly inside that trend.

What Polish Players Actually Play

Lotteries top the list, followed closely by sports betting and, more recently, e-sports and virtual sports wagering. Sports betting is the heartbeat of the legal private market. Around nine private operators currently hold licenses to offer online sports betting, and football dominates the wagering volume.

Online casino is a different story. There is exactly one legal online casino in the country: Total Casino, operated by the state-owned Totalizator Sportowy. Everything else falls into either the offshore grey market or outright illegal territory.

Why Players Look Beyond the Domestic Market

Despite the state monopoly on casino games, Polish players have never stopped exploring alternatives — and many of those alternatives are perfectly legal casino operators licensed elsewhere in the European Union. Under EU principles of free movement of services, Polish-speaking players regularly research casinos licensed in Malta, Estonia, and other EU jurisdictions that hold valid European gambling licenses.

According to the Ministry of Finance, the share of online activity outside the Polish licensing system dropped from 79.7% in 2016 to 29.1% in 2023, with the decline continuing into 2024. Even so, demand for information about EU-licensed alternatives remains strong, and resources like Kasynoonline reflect that interest among Polish-speaking audiences researching their online casino options across the European market.

The reasons players look at EU-licensed platforms haven’t changed much over the years: a wider variety of games, better return-to-player rates, more competitive bonus offers, and the simple fact that Total Casino is one operator in a single-provider domestic market. Players licensed and regulated in Malta, for example, fall under the Malta Gaming Authority — one of the most established gambling regulators in Europe.

Why Poles Gamble Online

Motivations vary by vertical. For sports betting, around 52% of Polish bettors cite the desire to win money as their primary driver — a higher financial-motivation share than in many Western European markets. Online casino players cite different reasons: convenience, game variety, and privacy. With only around 50 land-based casinos in the entire country, online is the only realistic option for many Poles outside major cities.

Not all engagement is healthy. A representative survey of 2,000 Polish adults found that 26.8% of e-gamblers showed signs consistent with problem gambling under the BBGS scale — significantly higher than among gamblers generally.

Age Trends

Globally, the 18-to-24 age group is the fastest-growing online gambling demographic. Poland mirrors that trend. Younger players are more comfortable with offshore platforms, more likely to use crypto deposits, and far more likely to bet on e-sports.

That said, the most lucrative cohort remains the 25-to-44 segment. These players have disposable income, established habits, and tend to wager larger amounts. They’re also more likely to juggle multiple platforms — a legal sports betting account for football, perhaps, alongside an offshore site for slots.

Regulation and the Road Ahead

The market is governed by the Gambling Act of 19 November 2009. Sports betting operators face a 12% turnover tax— one of the highest in Europe — which critics argue is the single biggest factor pushing players offshore. There’s an active discussion about shifting to a gross gaming revenue (GGR) model that would align Poland with most of the EU.

For broader context, Gaming Americas has covered the patchwork of online gambling regulations across Europe and the very different approaches taken by Germany, France, and the UK.

What This Means

Poland presents a familiar paradox: enormous untapped demand sitting next to a regulatory framework that doesn’t quite let the market breathe. The country has the players, the digital infrastructure, and the disposable income. What it doesn’t yet have is a competitive licensing system for online casino games.

The core picture is clear: this is a market dominated by men aged 25 to 44, played mostly on smartphones, motivated heavily by money, and shaped at every turn by a regulatory system still catching up with its players.
