Glitnor Group Acquires Leading Multinational Casino Operator OneCasino

Glitnor Group has today signed a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) to acquire OneCasino, a leading iGaming Operator with a strong position across multiple regulated markets including the Netherlands, Spain, Denmark and with plans to enter the regulated German market pending final license approval.
The combined business will significantly enhance the Group’s financial scale and create further geographical reach in markets across Europe, where the Group will have operations across more than 8 regulated jurisdictions.
The acquisition is expected to create attractive commercial, operational & technological synergies enabling accelerated growth and profitability. On a proforma basis revenue for the consolidated entities would surpass 150 million Euros in 2024.
OneCasino has built an extremely strong proprietary technology stack and product with a true focus on player engagement. The in-house game studio offered via the proprietary iGaming platform enables localised and bespoke content and an exciting opportunity for further growth across the Group, complimenting further Glitnor’s own games studio and in-house PAM & RGS.
Closing is expected in the first half of 2025 and is subject to the necessary approvals from relevant gaming and regulatory authorities.
Richard Brown, CEO of Glitnor, said: “We are tremendously excited to welcome OneCasino and its team into the Glitnor Group. The transaction accelerates our long-term vision to become a leader across high value, regulated markets in the iGaming industry. The hugely complementary geographical profile and high-quality product OneCasino have rapidly expands both companies’ short- and long-term addressable market. Mark and the team at OneCasino have built a fantastic company over the last years, creating a great product and working in a range of competitive regulated markets and have a proven track record of success. We are very excited to combine the two companies’ offerings and accelerate our growth potential.”
Mark Schram, CEO of OneCasino, said: “We’re incredibly proud of what the OneCasino team has accomplished over the years. Joining forces with the Glitnor Group marks an exciting new chapter for us as we continue to grow and expand into new markets. The shared vision and synergies between both companies make this merger a perfect fit, allowing us to further enhance our proprietary technology and product offerings while continuing to focus on providing exceptional gaming experiences to our customers.
At the core of our business we always ensure that players can enjoy our platform in a safe and responsible manner. Together, OneCasino and Glitnor are sure to become a leading force in the regulated iGaming space, and I look forward to the exciting opportunities ahead.”
