Scientific Games And InComm Expand Partnership To Advance Inlane, Point-Of-Sale Activated Lottery Technology

Published

on

 

Scientific Games Corporation announces its partnership with InComm is expanding to advance a secure solution for shoppers to purchase drawing-based lottery games like POWERBALL® and Mega Millions and lottery instant “scratch” games along with other store products directly in retail checkout lanes. The new solution makes the purchase quick and convenient for consumers, and supports vital lottery funding for state programs including health and welfare, senior citizens, veterans, education, the environment and infrastructure. Currently, lottery retail sales in the U.S. top $81 billion annually.

Scientific Games’ collaboration with InComm to expand lottery distribution channels began in 2015 with prepaid and payment card solutions offering new ways for consumers to purchase lottery games. With more than 25 years of global experience in the FinTech industry, Atlanta-based InComm’s products and services enable retailers and brands to create seamless commerce experiences in store, online or via mobile for millions of consumers.

“Our vision for retail innovation includes integrated solutions that support lottery revenues with the most advanced technology possible,” said Randall Lex, VP Lottery Retail Solutions for Scientific Games. “This partnership with InComm is another example of Scientific Games’ commitment to invest in retail innovation that opens opportunities for lotteries to bring products safely, quickly and conveniently to players wherever they are.”

Lex said the synergies created by Scientific Games and InComm’s combined experience and extensive knowledge will provide lotteries and retailers the opportunity to implement lottery sales in new and secure points of access, providing a significant penetration in new retail channels that do not currently sell lottery.

Lottery games are sold at 220,000 retailers in 46 states across the U.S. InComm conducts its business across an impressive network of retailers including the biggest chains in big box, pharmacy, value and convenience brands at over 130,000 store locations. Of those 130,000 locations, approximately one-third are the highest volume lottery retailers in the U.S. today and represent an opportunity for lotteries to generate incremental revenue through product innovations. Another third of these locations currently do not sell lottery today represent a significant opportunity for lotteries to grow their distribution networks with new retailers.

“Central to this partnership is the shared objective of responsibly growing lottery revenues and attracting new customers for lotteries and retailers alike,” said Tim Richardson, Senior Vice President, for InComm. “InComm and the retailers we support are excited by the innovation opportunities that this partnership represents. Most importantly, we’re honored to support the ultimate beneficiaries of lottery programs which are people and communities throughout the U.S.”

This expanded partnership between Scientific Games and InComm will fuel the implementation of more innovations such as quick pick options for POWERBALL and Mega Millions in Arizona. It also enables new opportunities for instant game retail sales through the SCiQ in-lane solution.

Scientific Games is a U.S.-based company providing games, technology and services to more than 150 lotteries around the globe, including nearly every North American lottery.

PointsBet Canada to Contest Proposed 5-Day Suspension by AGCO

PointsBet Canada confirmed it will request a hearing before the independent Licence Appeal Tribunal to contest the Notice of Proposed Order issued by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) on February 12, 2026, proposing a five-day suspension of its operator registration.

PointsBet claims that the proposed sanction overemphasized an isolated incident that was a result of human error, not a systemic issue. The company also said that it did not intentionally withhold information from gaming regulators, and it immediately sent the necessary information once it was discovered.

The operator, which launched in Ontario in April 2022, also said that it cooperated fully with the AGCO’s investigation.

“We have a strong compliance record in Ontario and remain fully committed to the highest standards of integrity and player protection. We look forward to presenting our case at the Tribunal,” said Scott Vanderwel, PointsBet Canada Chief Executive Officer.

Bragg Gaming Announces Select Preliminary Unaudited Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results, and Issues Full Year 2026 Guidance

Published

bragg-gaming-announces-select-preliminary-unaudited-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2025-financial-results,-and-issues-full-year-2026-guidance

Bragg Gaming Group has announced that its preliminary unaudited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025 are expected to come within its previously issued guidance ranges for both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.

The Company anticipates the fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results to include the following highlights:

Fourth quarter 2025 revenues to be approximately EUR 27.7 million, an increase of 1.8% from EUR 27.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, and Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately EUR 6 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin2 of approximately 16.6%), compared to EUR 4.7 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of approximately 17.2%) in the fourth quarter of 2024. High-margin proprietary content revenue grew by 70% in Q4-2025 over Q4-2024, primarily driven by growth in the US.

Full year 2025 revenues to be approximately EUR 106.1 million, an increase of 4.0% from EUR 102.0 million in 2024, and Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately EUR 16.6 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of approximately 15.6%), compared to EUR 15.8 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of approximately 15.5%) in 2024. The Company notes that, excluding the Netherlands given its challenging regulatory environment, expected 2025 revenues would represent an 18% increase from 2024, driven by the Company’s performance in Brazil and the US.

These figures are preliminary and unaudited, and actual revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin may differ.

Bragg is providing this information at this time because of planned investment community meetings to be held ahead of the release of its fourth and full year 2025 financial results and conference call in March 2026.

Anticipated Financial Highlights for 2026

Revenue Guidance: Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2026 is expected to be in the range of EUR 97.0 million to EUR 104.5 million, despite Bragg anticipating that it will have to continue navigating increasingly complex regulatory compliance requirements and recent tax changes in the Netherlands and other regions in which the Company operates.

Adjusted EBITDA Guidance: Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2026 is forecasted to be in the range of EUR 16.0 million to EUR 19.0 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of approximately 16.0% to 18.0%), supported by factors which include a continuing shift toward higher-margin product offerings and the structural cost savings expected from Bragg’s recently announced initiative to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to drive cost efficiencies and improve operational excellence.

Matevž Mazij, Chief Executive Officer for Bragg, said: “Based on the preliminary results, we delivered another record year in 2025, as demonstrated by increased revenue and higher Adjusted EBITDA. Now in 2026, we remain confident in our ability to successfully navigate evolving international regulatory and taxation developments, continue to increase our overall content market share in Brazil and the United States, aggressively pursue emerging alternative markets, such as Historical and Live Racing and Prediction Markets, and move into new jurisdictions that offer opportunities for higher margin content business. At the same time, we plan on thoughtfully harnessing the power of the Bragg AI Brain to reduce our overall cost structure, drive EBITDA growth, and move toward sustained net profitability. We look forward to updating investors as we progress.”
