- Subsequent event: On January 12, 2023, GMGI entered into a definitive agreement to acquire MeridianBet Group and its related companies in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $300 million.
Revenue contributions in fiscal 2022 from GMGI’s B2B and B2C segments were $14.8 million and $21.2 million, respectively. There were no contributions from the (RKings) B2C segment during fiscal 2021, as GMGI had not acquired its 80 percent controlling ownership interest in RKings until the beginning of fiscal 2022. At the end of the fiscal year, GMGI exercised its option and acquired the remaining 20 percent interest. The revenues and adjusted EBITDA discussed above include the 20% non-controlling interest which was held in RKings during the year ended October 31, 2022. More detailed information on the minority interest can be found in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2022, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) today.
The increase of general and administrative expenses – to $5,442,591 in fiscal 2022 from $1,264,672 in the prior year – was due primarily to $3,131,121 of G&A expenses from the Company’s RKings B2C segment. The 83% year-over-year increase in G&A expenses in the B2B segment was due mainly to increases in marketing and payroll costs.
“This has been a highly constructive year for our rapidly growing company,†said Golden Matrix CEO Brian Goodman, who continued, “We believe the increased costs incurred and investments made in our B2B and B2C platforms have positioned GMGI to sustain and even accelerate our strong revenue growth. To remain competitive in the worldwide gaming industry, we are continually upgrading our systems and gaming content offerings to support the needs of our millions of participants.”
Mr. Goodman said, the entry into the agreement to purchase MeridianBet Group, announced recently (the “Purchase Agreementâ€) and expected to be completed in the first half of the current year, “will significantly advance GMGI’s global footprint with numerous B2B and B2C product offerings on most continents and, we believe, create the opportunity for us to participate in online gambling markets in the U.S. and Canada.â€
Mr Goodman further added, “The combined pro forma revenues of Golden Matrix and MeridianBet are expected to be greater than $100 million for FY2022, with an Adjusted EBITDA estimated to be greater than $22 million for the pro forma year ended October 31, 2022, making the combination financially appealing and earnings-accretive.â€
Mr. Goodman said that GMGI expects to begin generating considerable revenues in the first half of this year via its B2C Mexican Casino, which offers Online Casino Games, Sportsbook and the successful RKings Tournament product and continued, “We believe it should serve as the first major step toward GMGI’s planned expansion throughout Latin America.â€

All-Cash Transaction Unlocks Significant, Unrealized Value for Boyd Shareholders
Boyd, FanDuel Extend Market-Access Agreements through 2038
Boyd Gaming Corporation announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Company’s 5% equity interest in FanDuel Group to Flutter Entertainment plc for cash consideration of $1.755 billion.
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals. The Company intends to use net proceeds to reduce debt.
Keith Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boyd, said: “This transaction unlocks the tremendous unrealized value that our investment in FanDuel has created for our Company. As a result, we are in a significantly stronger financial position to continue executing our strategy of investing in our properties, pursuing growth opportunities, returning capital to our shareholders, and maintaining a strong balance sheet.”
In addition to purchasing Boyd’s equity interest in FanDuel, Boyd and FanDuel will terminate certain existing market-access agreements between the parties and enter into new agreements to provide, among other things, for an extended term through 2038. The agreements will also provide Boyd with a fixed fee per state from FanDuel’s mobile sports-betting operations in Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana and Pennsylvania, as well as FanDuel’s online casino operations in Pennsylvania, upon the close of this transaction.  FanDuel will also continue to operate Boyd’s retail sportsbooks outside of Nevada through mid-2026, after which time Boyd will assume responsibility for these operations.
Under terms of the revised market-access agreements with FanDuel, the Company now expects its Online segment will generate $50 million to $55 million in operating income and Adjusted EBITDAR for the full year 2025, and approximately $30 million in 2026.
Smith added: “The partnership between Boyd and FanDuel has been a remarkable success for both companies. FanDuel has emerged as the nation’s clear leader in online sports-betting, while Boyd has been able to leverage this partnership to profitably participate in the rapid growth of sports betting across the country.  It has been a privilege to work with the Flutter and FanDuel teams, and we look forward to supporting FanDuel’s continued growth and success through our market-access agreements across the country.”
Moelis & Company LLC served as exclusive financial advisor to Boyd Gaming on the transaction.  Morrison & Foerster LLP served as legal advisor to Boyd Gaming on the transaction, with Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP advising on the commercial agreements.

In a landmark corporate transformation, Lottery.com Inc. has officially rebranded as SEGG Media Corporation — Sports Entertainment Gaming Global Media — completing one of the most dynamic turnarounds in recent history. Effective immediately, SEGG Media will begin trading under its new ticker symbol: SEGG.
This milestone marks more than a name change. It signals a definitive close to legacy issues, paving the way for a new era of growth across sports, media and ethical gaming. With the support of shareholders, employees, and strategic partners, SEGG Media is now structurally and financially positioned to emerge as a modern-day global sports and entertainment conglomerate.
Strategic Architecture: One Group, Three Pillars
SEGG Media operates through three distinct yet synergistic verticals:
- Sports.com – The global home of sport: Live immersive streaming, sim racing, football, motorsports, eSports, youth driver programs and athlete-driven content. Sports.com Studios, Sports.com Media, and Nook will operate under the sports vertical;
- Entertainment – The live experience layer: AI-driven event streaming, music media, hybrid entertainment, fashion and fan engagement platforms. Upon completion of the acquisition of DotCom Ventures, Inc., Concerts.com and TicketStub.com will operate under this vertical; and
- Lottery.com – The ethical gaming engine: International lotteries, iGaming, instant wins, sports betting and charity-aligned gaming initiatives. Domestic and global lottery operations, Tinbu, and WinTogether will operate under the gaming vertical.
Together, these pillars form a foundation designed for global expansion, fan engagement and long-term shareholder value creation.
A New Generation Sports & Entertainment Conglomerate
SEGG Media is built for the next generation — a fan-first business model designed to combine immersive media, cash-generative assets and technology-forward experiences. The Company will bring all sports under one roof, while expanding into music, lifestyle, and fashion.
With original content, influencer campaigns, and innovative storytelling documentaries and series produced by Sports.com Studios, SEGG Media aims to redefine how audiences connect with clubs, athletes, teams and leagues. This includes the acquisition and revitalization of trophy assets like football clubs and race teams, unlocking their value through smart structuring, media exposure and global fan penetration.
The Turnaround Journey
Over the last 24 months, SEGG Media has:
- Stabilized operations and balance sheet integrity
- Appointed world-class leadership and advisors
- Expanded into new verticals with asset-backed acquisitions
- Secured a $300M equity line of credit
The rebrand and restructure represent the final act of the turnaround — and the opening act of a global growth story.
“This is a generational moment. SEGG Media isn’t just the end of a chapter — it’s the birth of a next-generation business,” said Matthew McGahan, Chairman of SEGG Media Corporation. “We’re ready to compete with giants, with sharper tech, a youthful fan base and ethical values at the core. To every shareholder who stood with us — thank you. The turnaround is complete. The mission begins now.”
