The Board of Directors of Gaming Corps AB has resolved to carry out a new issue of 4,000,000 shares at a subscription price of SEK 2.50 per share, corresponding to issue proceeds of SEK 10 million, to Svea Bank AB (the “Directed Issue”). The Directed Issue is carried out with a deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right and with the support of the authorization from the annual general meeting on 28 June 2022. The subscription price has been determined by the Board of Directors of the Company and corresponds to a [premium] of approximately 7,8 percent calculated on a volume-weighted average share price (VWAP) during the last 20 trading days, up to and including 12 December 2022.

” I would like to take this opportunity to thank SVEA BANK AB on behalf of the management for this investment, especially when the market situation looks as it does with uncertainties in several areas, not least in the listed environment. We have several ongoing game certifications and game titles in development, in addition to several new approvals in regulated markets where we engage local legal advisors for the processes. Here we are anxiously awaiting the opinion from each market for me to be able to notify you, our shareholders”, says Juha Kauppinen, CEO.

” The Board of Directors has been working for some time to find the most favorable financing solution for the shareholders and the Company. With the current market situation, we have seen that the conditions for raising capital have been very costly and directly harmful to the company and the shareholders. By adding capital through SVEA BANK’s investment, we strengthen our cash position and give the company greater financial flexibility, which gives us a good basis for future investments in the business”, comments Claes Tellman, Chairman of the Board of Gaming Corps.

THE DIRECTED ISSUE
The Board of Directors of Gaming Corps has today, on 13 December 2022, resolved on a new issue of 4,000,000 shares with deviation from the existing shareholders’ preferential rights and with support from the authorization given at the annual general meeting on 28 2022. The subscription price for the shares in the Directed Issue has been determined by the Board of Directors at SEK 2.50 per share and will be paid in cash. The subscription price corresponds to a [premium] of approximately 7,8 percent calculated on the basis of a volume-weighted average price (WVAP) per trading day for the Company’s share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the last 20 trading days up to and including 12 December 2022. The Directed Issue has been subscribed by Svea Bank AB and will provide the Company with issue proceeds of SEK 10 million.

CHANGES IN SHARE CAPITAL, SHARES AND VOTES AND DILUTION
The Directed Issue results in an increase of the Company’s share capital by a maximum of SEK 200,000.01, from SEK 2,707,625.06 to SEK 2,907,625.07. The number of shares and votes will increase by a total of 4,000,000, from 54,152,501 to 58,152,501. The execution of the Directed Issue results in a dilution of approximately 6.88 percent for existing shareholders in relation to the total number of outstanding shares and votes in the Company.

DEVIATION FROM SHAREHOLDER PREFERENTIAL RIGHTS
The rationale of the Directed Issue and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is to carry out a capital raise in a time- and cost-effective manner. The Board of Directors has evaluated the possibility of carrying out a preferential rights issue in first hand. The Company has weighed the advantages and disadvantages of a preferential rights issue in comparison to a directed share issue and concluded that a preferential rights issue (i) would be significantly more time-consuming, which could risk the Company missing out on potential growth opportunities, (ii) would lead to significantly higher costs for the Company, mainly attributable to procurement of a guarantee consortium and legal costs, (iii) would expose the Company to higher market volatility, especially given current market conditions, and (iv) would likely have had to be implemented at a lower subscription price (with a discount instead of a [premium]) and would result in a higher dilution effect, which would have been negative to all shareholders. In addition, the Board of Directors considers it positive that the institutional ownership in the Company is strengthened through the Directed Issue. The Board of Director’s overall assessment is thus that the reasons for carrying out the Directed Issue in this manner, and in this specific situation, outweigh the reasons that justify the main rule of issuing shares with preferential rights for existing shareholders, and that a new share issue with a deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is thus in the best interest of the Company and all shareholders.

Slotegrator bringing prediction market engine to iGB L!VE

Published

on

Slotegrator will showcase a demo of its new prediction market engine, Predictor by Slotegrator, at this year’s edition of iGB L!VE in London. The company’s team will be taking meetings at stand S44.

Slotegrator, a leading iGaming software and business solution provider, will be providing demos of its solutions at stand S44 at this year’s iGB L!VE, held on 1-2 July at ExCeL London. 

The highlight will be the demo of Predictor by Slotegrator, a prediction market engine for iGaming platforms. Predictor, currently available for pre-order, uses a peer-to-peer exchange model, so that players buy binary contracts with each other on event outcomes. The operator collects a commission on winnings, generating risk-free revenue. Pricing is set by market pressure, instead of odds being set by the house, creating superior transparency in players’ eyes. 

In addition to Predictor, Slotegrator will display its turnkey platform solution, featuring the Casino Builder module. Casino Builder’s preset templates let operators customize their platform’s frontend without the need for a development team, including the placement of key retention tools. The platform solution also features an AI-powered anti-fraud tool. 

Additionally, the company will showcase its APIgrator game content integration solution, which integrates over 30,000 games from over 180 developers. 

iGB L!VE is one of iGaming’s biggest conferences, bringing together affiliates, online casino and sportsbook operators, investors, and B2B solution and content providers. Over 20,000 visitors attended last year’s event, an 16% increase compared to 2024, and this year is expected to attract even more attendees.

“Nothing compares to live events, and no event compares to iGB L!VE,” says Slotegrator COO Olga Ivanchik. “It’s the best place to connect with existing clients and partners while forging new connections. And, of course, as iGB L!VE is the industry’s flagship event, it’s the perfect place to debut our prediction market engine, Predictor by Slotegrator.”

Booking a meeting in advance is the best way to ensure facetime with the company’s team members.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Since 2012, Slotegrator has been one of the iGaming industry’s leading software and business solution providers for online casino and sportsbook operators.

The company’s main focus is software development and support for online casino platforms, as well as the integration of game content and payment systems.

The company says its PR & Communications Manager was recognised for strengthening Alea’s brand and communications during a growth period.

Alea said its PR & Communications Manager, Elisabet Vila, has won the B2B Excellence Award at the Women in Gaming Diversity Awards 2026.

The Women in Gaming Diversity Awards recognise individuals and organisations across the gaming sector, including contributions on the business-to-business side of the industry. Alea said Vila was recognised for her role in elevating the company’s brand presence and communications strategy during a period of rapid growth.

“I am very honoured to receive this award. The Women in Gaming Diversity Awards are one of the most important events in our industry, especially because they recognise and celebrate the women working so hard across the sector.

The night felt incredibly special, with such a supportive atmosphere as we celebrated so many brilliant colleagues. It was genuinely empowering.

While my name may be on the award, it reflects the work of many talented women across Alea who contribute to our success every day. Without them, we wouldn’t be where we are today.

Being nominated alongside such strong candidates already meant a lot, so winning makes it even more meaningful. I’m incredibly thankful for this recognition and proud to represent Alea at an event like this,” said Elisabet Vila, PR & Communications Manager at Alea.

Flashscore rolls out new player rating system developed with Petr Cech

Flashscore has launched an updated player performance metric, Flashscore Rating, developed with input from former Chelsea and Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech. The Prague-headquartered live scores platform said the new system is designed to deliver a more detailed, role-based assessment of players during matches.

According to Flashscore, Flashscore Rating combines more than 70 statistics into a single grade and weighs events beyond goals and assists, including “big chances created” and “errors leading to goals.” The company said the model also accounts for role-specific strengths such as duel dominance and dribbling, to avoid comparing players against irrelevant attacking metrics.

The rating updates continuously as matches unfold, Flashscore said, and the underlying factors are surfaced in a new Player Card. Players must play at least 10 minutes to receive a rating. Flashscore said all players are graded across Goalkeeping, Defending, Progression, Playmaking and Attacking roles, or combinations of these.

Cech said: “The new Flashscore rating is not a journalist’s opinion – it’s a data algorithm. Once the system knows which role a player was active in, it builds a rating for that specific match.

“No more goalscorers getting inflated ratings for one moment, while a midfielder who runs the game gets a forgettable 6.8. The rating isn’t fixed at kick-off and it doesn’t just apply at full-time. It updates continuously as the match unfolds. Every bonus is listed on the Player Card, where you can see exactly why a player got their number. There is no black box.

“When I played, ratings felt arbitrary. Whether it was a 6.0 or a 7.0, you never really knew what moved the needle. However, the new Flashscore rating shows the workings, and that changes everything.”

Flashscore said the ratings launch is part of a broader set of product updates timed to coincide with the World Cup. New features include Follow News Notifications for team news alerts, an updated Momentum 1.5 match dynamics visualisation with added context and statistics, and FIFA rankings shown in match details and team profiles.
