Golden Matrix Group (NASDAQ: GMGI), a leading B2B and B2C gaming technology company utilizing proprietary technology and operating globally across 17 regulated markets, today announced its participation in the global coalition initiative for flood relief efforts in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

This partnership aims to provide substantial support to the communities in this Brazilian state that have been most devastated by the recent severe flooding.

This initiative is part of the gaming industry’s larger collaboration with local NGOs and humanitarian organizations, marking a significant expansion of our intensive CSR efforts, which saw over 225 community impact campaigns last year alone, primarily through the actions of its subsidiary Meridianbet.

The past week has witnessed unprecedented rainfall in Rio Grande do Sul, turning streets into rivers and isolating entire towns. The current situation remains dire, with hundreds of individuals still unaccounted for, while rescue operations have successfully evacuated over 200,000 residents using boats and helicopters.

The floods have wreaked havoc on infrastructure, with numerous bridges destroyed, severely disrupting access to Porto Alegre. The aftermath of the disaster has also led to looting in supermarkets during the night, adding to the urgency of the relief efforts.

Golden Matrix Group invites its stakeholders and the global community to contribute to this cause.

Golden Matrix Group announced that the Company is progressing in its efforts to expand its market presence, particularly with its anticipated entry into the U.S. iGaming market. The Company, through its subsidiary Expanse Studios, which specializes in the production and distribution of iGaming content, is currently in the process of applying for the New Jersey Casino Service Industry Enterprise license.

GMGI has initiated discussions with several licensed gaming operators in New Jersey. Once the licensing process is finalized and the necessary approvals are obtained, the Company plans to serve as a B2B provider of its proprietary Expanse Studios iGaming content to fully regulated and licensed online casino and sportsbook operators in the state of New Jersey.

The Company intends to build on its U.S. presence by applying for additional licenses and servicing operator agreements in states where iGaming has been regulated.

Additionally, GMGI’s wholly owned Expanse Studios division has secured an iGaming license for the Bulgarian market and is actively pursuing licenses in Croatia and Romania, key markets that will further expand Expanse Studios’ European footprint.
