NeoGames S.A. completes the offer to the shareholders of Aspire Global plc and extends the acceptance period
On 17 January 2022, NeoGames S.A.1 announced a recommended public offer to the shareholders of Aspire Global plc2 to tender all their shares in Aspire Global to NeoGames for a consideration consisting of a combination of cash and newly issued shares in NeoGames in the form of Swedish depository receipts (the “Offer”).
Regulatory approvals
Regulatory approvals from both the Gibraltar Gambling Commission and the North Macedonia Competition Authority have been received on terms which, in NeoGames’ opinion, are acceptable and Aspire Global has maintained its licenses. This condition for completion of the Offer is thus met.
Acceleration and acquisition of options
The completion of the Offer is also conditional upon that Aspire Global, prior to the end of the acceptance period in the Offer, resolves to accelerate the current incentive programs in Aspire Global, and that all outstanding options thereunder, as well as any other warrants/options issued by Aspire Global, are converted into new shares in Aspire Global resulting in the creation of not more than 828,094 new shares in Aspire Global. Aspire Global has resolved to accelerate unvested options which together with all other outstanding options in Aspire Global could be converted into not more than 809,264 new shares in Aspire Global.
NeoGames has, with the approval by Aspire Global’s independent bid committee, entered into option purchase agreements with 53 employees and consultants in Aspire Global who in aggregate held all outstanding options under Aspire Global’s various incentive programs. The purchase agreements were subject to the Offer being declared unconditional. All of the options remain unexercised. The purchase price for the options corresponds to the value that the option holders had received should they have exercised the options and tendered the underlying shares in Aspire Global in the Offer (SEK 111.00 in cash or 0.320 shares in NeoGames in the form of Swedish depository receipts per share in Aspire Global in accordance with the Base Case Alternative and Mix & Match Facility, as defined in the offer announcement published by NeoGames on 17 January 2022; the “Offer Announcement”). Consequently, NeoGames has provided the option holders in Aspire Global a fair treatment outside of the Offer.
Should all options acquired be exercised and converted into new shares in Aspire Global, they would represent 1.67 percent of the total number of shares in Aspire Global on a fully diluted basis.3 Considering the above, NeoGames deems the condition for completion regarding acceleration of options under Aspire Global’s various option programs to be met.
Outcome of the Offer; Offer declared unconditional
At the end of the acceptance period on 25 May 2022 and including late but approved acceptances, in total 45,860,537 shares in Aspire Global have been tendered in the Offer, corresponding to 98.25 percent of the shares and votes in Aspire Global on a non-diluted basis. Shareholders holding 13,431,065 shares have accepted the Base Case Alternative with a maximum cash component under the Mix & Match Facility, shareholders holding 55,055 shares have accepted the Base Case Alternative with a maximum share component under the Mix & Match Facility, shareholders holding 1,131,807 shares have accepted the Base Case Alternative with no election under the Mix & Match Facility and shareholders holding 31,242,610 shares4 have accepted the Conditional Alternative.
Should the options acquired by NeoGames be exercised, NeoGames would together with the tendered shares control 46,664,516 shares in Aspire Global representing 98.27 percent of the shares and votes in Aspire Global on a fully diluted basis.
Considering that the Offer has been accepted to such extent that NeoGames has become the owner of shares representing not less than 90 percent of the total number of outstanding shares in Aspire Global, the condition regarding a 90 percent minimum acceptance level has been fulfilled. Accordingly, and as all other conditions for completion are met, the Offer is declared unconditional in all respects and NeoGames will complete the acquisition of the shares in Aspire Global tendered in the Offer.
Settlement
Settlement of the shares in Aspire Global tendered in the Offer under the original acceptance period will commence on or about 14 June 2022, to allow for simultaneous settlement against cash and/or newly issued shares in NeoGames in the form of Swedish depository receipts.
Squeeze-out and delisting
NeoGames will initiate compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares in Aspire Global and propose that Aspire Global’s board of directors applies for delisting of Aspire Global’s shares from Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market.
Extension of the acceptance period
In order to provide the remaining shareholders in Aspire Global the opportunity to accept the Offer, NeoGames has decided to extend the acceptance period of the Offer until and including 14 June 2022 at 5.00 p.m. (CEST). Shareholders in Aspire Global accepting the Offer during the extension of the acceptance period will receive the Base Case Alternative, as defined in the Offer Announcement, consisting of 50 percent cash and 50 percent NeoGames shares in the form of Swedish depository receipts. Settlement for shares tendered during the extension of the acceptance period is expected to commence on or around 30 June 2022. The acceptance period will thereafter not be further extended and late acceptances will not be accepted. Since the Offer is now unconditional, shareholders in Aspire Global who accept the Offer during the extension of the acceptance period have no right to withdraw their acceptances.

Witness the downfall of John, a man of order, a devoted father, a loyal husband and a pillar of routine. Nolimit City’s latest release, Disorder, unearths the twisted origin story of Mental and Mental II. This highly anticipated slot falls under the extreme themed category of Nolimit City slots such as Serial and Disturbed.
Fire Frames
The Smith household looks picture-perfect, but inside, it’s anything but. Disorder plays out on a 4-3-4-3-4-3 layout across 6 reels, with 3 locked Enhancer Cells placed at the bottom of reel 2, 4 and 6. In the real area, Fire Frames will appear randomly on the reels. Any symbol that lands in a Fire Frame will split into 2 symbols. Any regular paying symbol can be split into a max of 16. If a Bonus Symbol lands within the Fire Frame, it upgrades to a Super Bonus Symbol.
Enhancer Cells
The house has some hidden secrets in the form of Enhancer Cells. They can be activated depends on the number of Fire Frames that land:
● Reel 2 Enhancer – Activates when 4 Fire Frames appear.
● Reel 2 & 4 Enhancers – Activates when 7 Fire Frames appear.
● Reel 2, 4 & 6 Enhancers – Activates when 9 Fire Frames appear.
Once the reel 6 Enhancer Cell is activated, every 2 additional Fire Frames reactivate all Enhancer Cells.
Each Enhancer Cell may reveal the following symbols:
● Molotov – Randomly selects a regular paying symbol, splits it and all its instances. Regular paying symbols can be split into a max of 16. It also converts itself into the selected symbol.
● Delusion – Randomly selects a regular paying symbol, transforms it and all its instances into the highest paying symbol present on the reels. It also converts itself into the selected symbol.
● Paranoia Multiplier – Adds a random multiplier between 1x and 999x to the win multiplier. The Multiplier applies to all wins until the end of the round. It also converts itself into a Wild Symbol.
● Nuclear Wild – Transforms all regular paying symbols on its reel into Wild Symbols. It also converts itself into a Wild Symbol.
● xBomb® – Removes all Regular paying symbols not part of a winning combination. If any instance of a winning symbol also exists on a non winning position, it will not be removed. xBomb® also converts itself to a Wild Symbol and increases the win multiplier by 1.
● Family Symbol – One of the 5 Family Symbols appears.
Features are triggered left to right except xBomb®, which triggers last.
Bonus Mode
John’s house was built with “extra rooms.” Unfortunately, they’re not for guests but for Bonus Modes. The number of spins awarded in the Bonus Modes depends on the number of symbols that trigger it. Each Bonus Symbol awards +2 Spins. Each Super Bonus Symbol awards + 3 Spins. This applies both in the spin that triggers bonus mode and during bonus mode itself. During the bonus mode, Fire Frames are more likely to appear than in the base game. Multipliers awarded in base game will not be carried over to bonus mode.
Obsessive Compulsive Spins
The first sign that John was losing his mind was the onset Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Landing 3 Bonus Symbols including at most 1 Super Bonus Symbol in the base game triggers 6+ Obsessive Compulsive Spins. Landing 2 or 3 Super Bonus Symbols during Obsessive Compulsive spins will upgrade the spins to Antisocial Personality Spins, whereas landing 4 Super Bonus Symbols will upgrade the spins to Severe Dissociative Identity spins. The win multiplier and Fire Frames reset after each spin.
Antisocial Personality Spins
The second sign was the fact that John started isolating himself, going straight to the basement every time he got home from work. Landing 3 Bonus Symbols including at most 2 Super Bonus Symbols in the base game triggers 8+ Antisocial Spins. Landing 2 Super Bonus Symbols during Antisocial Personality Spins will upgrade the spins to Severe Dissociative Spins. The win multiplier count will not reset during the Antisocial Personality Spins.
Severe Dissociative Identity Spins
The final stage of John’s transition was that he detached from reality and allowed his intrusive thoughts to take over. Landing 4 Super Bonus Symbols in the base game triggers 12+ Severe Dissociative Identity Spins. Fire Frames remain sticky on their positions and the win multiplier count will not reset during the Severe Dissociative Identity Spins.
Extra Spin
Extra Spin is back! When Antisocial Personality Spins or Severe Dissociative Identity Spins are triggered, players might get the opportunity to purchase an additional spin at the end of the round. The additional spin will keep the win multiplier and Fire Frames (if sticky) of the previous spin. The cost of the spin will be calculated based on the win multiplier and Fire Frames. If the cost of the Extra Spin is less than or equal to the total win, then the Extra Spin opportunity will be presented.
Nolimit Boosters
The rest of the Smith family are going to find out who John really is, especially with these Nolimit Boosters:
– Bonus Booster – More likely to activate a Bonus Mode.
– Fire Booster – Increased chance of landing more Fire Frames compared to the base game and more likely to activate a Bonus Mode.
– Enhancer Booster – Guaranteed 9 Fire Frames and more Fire Frames may appear in upcoming spins and more likely to activate a Bonus Mode.
A tale of a beautiful family that gets torn apart by the father completely losing his mind. Disorder has a maximum payout of 23,500x the base bet. Disorder is rated as “Extremely Volatile” delivering the thrilling high-stakes gameplay that Nolimit City fans know and love.
Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said: “If Mental was the aftermath, Disorder is the breaking point. We wanted to show the moment when everything snapped. We wanted to keep the story as cohesive as possible leaving room for people to make their own assumptions. John takes us through the different secret levels of his suburban home during the free spins. It’s not the family reunion anyone wants to attend”
‘Disorder’ will be available to all Nolimit City partners on November 4th, 2025.

Protecting African sports and regulated betting operators from match-fixing
The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) and the African iGaming Alliance (AIA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance collaboration and promote integrity across Africa’s rapidly developing sports competitions and betting markets. The agreement establishes a framework for cooperation between the two associations, each representing regulated betting operators, to support responsible and sustainable sports betting markets across the continent.
Under the terms of the MoU, IBIA will become the AIA’s strategic betting integrity partner, while AIA will act as IBIA’s primary betting policy and regulation partner for Africa. The partnership will facilitate the exchange of information, joint engagement and coordinated policy initiatives aimed at protecting consumers, regulated operators and sports from betting-related match-fixing.
Peter Emolemo Kesitilwe, CEO of AIA, commented: “Integrity is the foundation of Africa’s betting future. This partnership between the AIA and IBIA represents a decisive step towards ensuring that Africa’s growing betting industry is anchored on trust, transparency, and accountability. As a pan-African industry platform, AIA is committed to working with global integrity leaders like IBIA to harmonise standards, promote responsible gaming, and support regulators in safeguarding markets from manipulation and illicit practices. Together, we can strengthen Africa’s credibility as a world-class, igaming frontier.”
Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said: “Africa represents one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing betting markets in the world. Ensuring that this growth is underpinned by robust sports betting integrity standards and effective regulation is essential. Our partnership with the African iGaming Alliance reinforces our shared commitment to supporting a sustainable, well-regulated African betting industry that safeguards consumers and sporting competitions alike.”
The partnership will enable both organisations to share insights on betting integrity, regulatory developments and policy trends across Africa. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to strengthening integrity frameworks for regulated betting operators and to fostering closer cooperation between the associations’ members.
From 2020 to Q3 2025, IBIA reported 131 suspicious betting alerts across African sporting events, primarily involving football (64) and tennis (62).
Backed by over 90 operators and 200 betting brands, IBIA safeguards sport and regulated betting markets through global monitoring, intelligence sharing and stakeholder collaboration. It monitors over 1.5 million sporting events and $300bn in bets each year. Its alerts have contributed to the successful prosecution of numerous match-fixing cases worldwide, reinforcing IBIA’s role as a trusted partner to regulators, sports and policymakers.
