Evolution AB (publ)’s wholly owned subsidiary, Evolution Malta Holding Limited, (“Evolution”) has entered into an agreement to acquire the entire issued share capital of Nolimit City Holding Ltd (“Nolimit City”) for an upfront consideration of EUR 200 million (the “Transaction”). With earn-outs of up to EUR 140 million the total consideration can amount to up to EUR 340 million, payable in cash.
Transaction highlights and strategic rationale
Nolimit City is a truly innovative, world-leading producer of online slots games that has created its own niche in the market through games with sometimes provocative themes and a humorous touch. Nolimit City games stand out and offer players a unique, graphically rich playing experience. Nolimit City titles include award-winning games such as Mental, San Quentin and East Coast/West Coast.
The acquisition is in line with Evolution’s strategy of being the world’s number one provider of online casino games, supplying its customers with the best gaming content. With the Nolimit City brand, Evolution extends its portfolio of world leading slot brands that already includes NetEnt, Red Tiger and Big Time Gaming.
“With the addition of Nolimit City to the Evolution family we extend our portfolio of truly innovative and cutting edge games from the top brands and game makers in the industry. We have followed Jonas, Emil and their team for a few years and been impressed as they have established a completely new style of slot games. I am proud that yet another of the very best minds in our industry has chosen to join the Evolution network.” – Jens von Bahr, chairman, Evolution
“I cannot think of a better match between two companies then between Nolimit City and Evolution, we are fully aligned in terms of people, product, technology and how to get the job done. The slot vertical is under massive change, and we can’t wait to take on the challenge of global expansion together with Evolution, helping out with navigating towards the best slot product offering in the market.” – Jonas Tegman, Co-Founder, Nolimit City
Nolimit City revenue is expected to amount to EUR 30 million with an EBITDA of EUR 23 million for the calendar year 2022. The Transaction will contribute positively to 2022 EPS for the Evolution Group.
Consideration and financing
The total up-front consideration payable by Evolution in the Transaction is EUR 200 million on a cash and debt free basis. The consideration is financed from cash at hand. In addition, Evolution may pay earn-out payments in cash, based on Nolimit City’s EBITDA for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The earn-out payments will amount to a maximum of EUR 140 million, and become payable in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Conditions and time plan for the acquisition
Completion of the Transaction is conditional upon receipt of regulatory approvals and is expected during Q3 2022.

Private London Forum Connecting iGaming Leaders, Investors and Advisers on Growth and M&A
London’s status as a key global financial centre will serve as the backdrop to the launch of the industry’s first World Gaming M&A Summit (WGM&A). Taking place on 1 July and serving as the curtain raiser to iGB L!VE, the WGM&A represents the only dedicated forum for corporate development officers and M&A advisors working in iGaming.
The WorldGaming M&A Summit brings a dedicated focus on mergers and acquisitions in iGaming. Convening leadership from public and private operators alongside sector-focused investment banks, legal advisers and corporate finance specialists, attendees will benefit from a highly targeted opportunity to engage with key decision-makers, originate deal flow, assess strategic fit and gain insights from active market participants.
The event provides direct access to London’s deep sector expertise built over decades of transactions and its unparalleled ecosystem of strategic acquirers, potential targets, leading advisory firms and business leaders across the M&A value chain.
Industry expert and WorldGaming chairman Michael Caselli stated: “M&A is a business imperative in the current iGaming landscape and this event features insights from sector-specialist advisers and industry leaders including Morgan Stanley’s Laurence Hopkins and Paolo Della Rovere, and Bally’s Robeson Reeves.
“Also featuring strategic intent sessions, industry leaders will host round tables to explain their growth theses, define their M&A criteria and share their business’ vision for consolidation and growth. Following the sessions attendees are invited to the M&A Summit cocktail reception and dinner where conversations will continue and deals will be cemented.”
Explaining the background to the Tier 1 event, World Gaming managing director Stuart Hunter said: “Legislative and fiscal developments, including the increase in UK gaming taxes which were announced by the government in the November 2025 budget, evolving European regulations and wider global legislative adjustments, have prompted the introduction of the World Gaming M&A Summit.
“The WGM&A is part of a broader programme of business-critical events taking place at iGB L!VE. With so many investors and decision makers based in London, iGB L!VE is closer to the people who are critical to the future development of the iGaming industry.”
In order to maintain a focused, high-level attendance, the WorldGaming M&A Summit is limiting its attendance and tickets are by application only. Applicants should be actively seeking strategic partnerships or be an experienced adviser in the sector. Applications are being accepted at igblive.com/igb-live-ma-summit.

Groove shortlisted for Best Aggregator at SiGMA Asia Awards 2026
Groove has been named a finalist for Best Aggregator 2026 at the SiGMA Asia Awards, with the ceremony scheduled for 2 June 2026 at the SMX Convention Centre Manila during the SiGMA Asia Summit.
The shortlist was announced by Global Gaming Insider, according to the company. Groove said its platform aggregates more than 15,000 games from over 150 providers via a single API.
Giusy Campo, Business Development Director at Groove, said: “This shortlist is external recognition of a truth we already feel internally: Groove is moving at a different pace. Asia is not a single market, it is a collection of distinct regulatory environments, player behaviours, and partnership opportunities”
Campo added: “Our platform is built to respect that complexity, not smooth it over. Being named a finalist for Best Aggregator tells us that our approach; deep integration, localised content strategies, and commercial precision; is resonating with the operators who matter most in this region. We are not just bringing games to Asia. We are bringing a roadmap for sustainable growth.”
Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and CEO of Groove, said: “The aggregation space is crowded. Differentiation is everything. This nomination confirms that our vision, transforming aggregation from a commodity into a strategic growth discipline, is taking hold.” He added: “Operators across Asia are no longer asking for just volume or speed. They are asking for structural resilience, data intelligence, and a partner who can execute across fragmented regulatory landscapes with precision. Groove delivers that. To be recognised alongside the best in Asia is a privilege, but the real work continues in Manila and beyond. We are here to win, not just awards, but the trust of the operators who build their businesses on our platform.”
