on

 

Gambling.com Group announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Odds Holdings Inc., the parent company of OddsJam. Under the terms of the agreement, Odds Holdings stockholders will receive initial consideration of $80 million and may receive up to an additional $80 million based on Odds Holdings’ business performance through the end of 2026. Gambling.com Group’s acquisition of Odds Holdings further expands the Company’s online gambling industry footprint, adding complementary recurring revenue from new and existing users and partners.

Odds Holdings is powered by a state-of-the art technology platform for real-time odds data and offers services under multiple consumer and enterprise brands. Gambling.com Group believes the odds platform is the industry’s most advanced and delivers data to end-users with the lowest latency. The platform is built for scale, processing on average over one million requests per second and multiple terabytes of data per day, across nearly 300 sportsbooks. OddsJam is the flagship brand offering premium, real-time odds information to empower sports bettors to make data-driven bets through a consumer facing website and app. Under a separately managed company, Odds Holdings also provides low latency, comprehensive odds data to enterprise clients for a variety of sports betting use cases.

Closing is expected to occur on January 1, 2025 and is subject to customary closing conditions. The transaction will be immediately accretive to Gambling.com Group’s operating results upon closing. For 2024, Odds Holdings expects to generate revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $26 million and $12 million, respectively. Gambling.com Group expects that under its management Adjusted EBITDA derived from the Odds Holdings assets will grow by at least 20% in 2025. The Odds Holdings team, including OddsJam founders Ankit Goyal and Alex Monahan as well as CEO, Matt Restivo, will join Gambling.com Group.

“The accretive acquisition of Odds Holdings will immediately provide Gambling.com Group with additional, recurring revenue streams which are independent of our market-leading online gambling affiliate business, consistent with our strategy to expand our footprint in the online gambling industry,” said Gambling.com Group co-founder and CEO, Charles Gillespie.

“We are delighted to welcome the Odds Holdings team to Gambling.com Group as we accelerate growth towards our goal of $100 million in Adjusted EBITDA. Their talented team has not only built a state-of-the art odds technology platform, but managed to build multiple distinct products on top of that platform which have very clear product-market fit. Odds Holdings gives Gambling.com Group a suite of new enterprise products while OddsJam in particular brings a passionate and energetic new consumer audience to the Group.

“We have achieved the vast majority of our growth through organic market share gains, while also successfully executing on several strategic, accretive acquisitions that have contributed to our consistently improving financial performance. Our acquisitions of RotoWire, BonusFinder and Freebets.com have proven that we can leverage our high free cash flow to identify, acquire and accelerate growth, creating value for our shareholders, while prudently managing our capital structure and balance sheet,” added Gillespie.

“Combining with a tech-focused leader in the global online gambling industry like Gambling.com Group is the natural next step for Odds Holdings,” said Odds Holdings CEO, Matt Restivo.

“By leveraging Gambling.com Group’s expertise, innovation and resources we will be optimally positioned to scale our technology and data-driven insights to reach an even larger audience of online bettors, including beyond the North American market. We’re looking forward to working with the Gambling.com Group founders Charles and Kevin and their team to create a deeper connection with our customers to enhance their online gambling experiences,” said OddsJam founders Ankit Goyal and Alex Monahan.

Peru Reports 40% Drop in Illegal Online Gambling

Published

on

 

Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur) reported that, a little more than a year after having implemented the law that regulates the online sector, it has been able to reduce by 40% the offer of illegal games in digital platforms and applications.

In a public statement, the Executive portfolio in charge of regulating gambling also highlighted that, thanks to the inspection work, 15% of the illegal websites “have left the Peruvian market” and that “payment methods providers and financial entities have been contacted to block services to unauthorized operators”.

Based on this, Mincetur highlighted that “Peru has managed to position itself as a regional referent in the integral regulation of gambling” and that, through the normative framework, it was possible to “protect the consumer, guarantee transparency in the operations and promote the formal and sustainable economic development”.

The Ministry highlighted that with the implementation of Law No 31557, which regulates sports betting and online games, “the country became the third country in Latin America to establish clear regulations for this activity”.

“Since its entry into force in February 2024, 60 technological platforms have been authorized and 280 linked service providers have been registered, as well as the accreditation of nine international certification laboratories,” Mincetur said.

In this regard, the Ministry stated that “this regulation has made it possible to formalize the digital sector, promoting an environment of trust for both operators and users.” At the same time, it has allowed “new investment opportunities, boosting the digitalization of entertainment and strengthening the country’s tax collection”.
