JNS Gaming unveils immersive world of new operator brand LynxBet
Ambitious iGaming start-up JNS Gaming has officially launched its new online casino and sportsbook brand, LynxBet .com, aiming to deliver a new world of entertainment for players worldwide with its immersive front-end design.
Inspired by the growing influence of the metaverse in the digital space, the self-styled ‘Land of LynxBet’ has been developed with casual players at the forefront. The brand combines a mix of escapism, vibrancy and animations to offer a fun and responsible iGaming experience, with users invited to explore a variety of environments that are determined by the multitude of verticals on offer. This is further aided by the creation of its endearing mascot, the Lucky Lynx, who has the magic touch and features prominently across the online platform.
Entering multiple territories, LynxBet’s prime focus is on establishing a solid player base across South America and other pre-regulated markets. It aims to achieve this by placing emphasis on a localised service, including customer support offered in each language via email and live chat. Regional teams have been established to create a more personal player experience, boosted further by significant marketing investment and partnerships with local brand ambassadors, who are set to be announced over the coming months.
In addition, localised payment methods are available for each jurisdiction, while LynxBet also accepts deposits and withdrawals using cryptocurrency. This approach is solidified by JNS Gaming harnessing the expertise of its sister brand Freebitco.in, a cryptocurrency casino specialist with over 48 million players, from which LynxBet will also target with its own cross-selling campaigns.
LynxBet operates under a Tier 1 Isle of Man Gaming licence and is fully committed to responsible play, providing accessible self-exclusion and time-out facilities, as well as deposit, wager and loss limits.
JNS Gaming is backed by substantial investment and run by a senior management team that is highly-experienced within the global betting and gaming industry. The company is headed by Jeremy Taylor, who was formerly Managing Director of Genting Casinos UK and Group Marketing Director at Betsson Group.
Commenting on the launch of LynxBet, JNS Gaming CEO Jeremy Taylor, said: “Following months of hard work behind the scenes, introducing LynxBet to the marketplace is an exciting moment for JNS Gaming. We understand how competitive and saturated the iGaming industry is, which is why we devised an immersive platform that offers something alternative for players to explore.
“Simply put, JNS Gaming is an iGaming start-up like no other. We are very ambitious and truly believe that our unique user journey will captivate players worldwide. Over the coming months, we will be revealing more developments that will illustrate our desire to propel LynxBet to new heights.”
With complete control over its front-end design and user experience, LynxBet has enhanced its back-end infrastructure further by utilising Aspire Global’s entire proprietary offering. This includes a robust PAM, managed services, the deployment of Aspire’s content aggregation platform powered by Pariplay, with a vast range of games already implemented within the LynxBet casino offering, as well as the BtoBet sportsbook, delivering comprehensive markets and odds on a variety of global sports.
Tsachi Maimon, CEO at Aspire Global, added: “JNS Gaming has done a remarkable job in developing such an immersive digital environment with its new LynxBet brand. While the group has focused on developing a fascinating online portal that will resonate with a wide audience, Aspire Global provides the new operator with a complete iGaming solution and significant B2B and B2C experience to build from.
“We look forward to supporting LynxBet’s growth in the near future including more new markets, with our cutting-edge solutions set to form a crucial role in its expansion.”

In the U.S., strong third quarter revenue gains from content distribution helped drive a 40% global increase in proprietary online content revenue year-over-year.
“Additionally, we announced today that the Board of Directors has unanimously decided to conclude its review of strategic alternatives for Bragg. After extensive evaluation and deliberation, the Board determined that the ongoing execution of the Company’s strategic plan is the best way to maximize value for shareholders at this time.
“Since stepping in as Chairman 16 months ago and then as CEO 14 months ago, we’ve transformed our executive team, restructured commercial operations, and sharpened our sales strategy with a targeted, jurisdictional approach. These decisive actions position us to drive growth and capture market opportunities with greater precision and impact. Under new leadership, we’ve built a strong pipeline of tier 1 opportunities across key markets and key products, positioning Bragg for accelerated top- and bottom-line growth.
“With the strategic review process now complete, Bragg is now fully focused on commercialization and unlocking profitable growth, without the need for significant new investment in product development. Our decade-long investments in technology and talent, combined with a robust leadership team, have built a scalable platform that uniquely positions us for aggressive growth in 2025 and beyond. With significant operating leverage now within reach, we’re poised for an exciting, high-growth, and profitable future.”

Strategic Alternatives Process Concluded
The Bragg Board announced the strategic alternatives process in March 2024 with the formation of a Special Committee, comprised solely of independent members of the Board. The Committee, together with its advisors Oakvale Capital LLP and Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, evaluated a wide range of strategic alternatives for maximizing shareholder value including a potential sale or merger of the Company. Bragg solicited interest from a significant number of potential counterparties and received multiple non-binding proposals.
After careful consideration, the Board, on recommendation from the special committee, unanimously determined that none of the proposals received reflect the Company’s intrinsic value or current and projected financial performance, and therefore elected to conclude its review and disband the Special Committee.
Don Robertson, independent Board member and Chair of the Special Committee, said, “After a comprehensive and exhaustive process, the Committee recommended, and the Board unanimously agreed, that continuing to execute Bragg’s strategic plan as an independent public company is the best approach for maximizing shareholder value. Although the process has now concluded, Bragg’s Board will continue to be open to and consider all opportunities for enhancing shareholder value.”
“Over the past year, our financial performance, cashflow generation and revenue outlook have significantly improved. We remain extremely confident about our business plan, operating strategy, and financial prospects” said Matevž Mazij, Chairman and CEO of Bragg.
Reiterates Full Year 2024 Guidance and 2025 Outlook
Bragg reiterates its 2024 full year revenue guidance range of EUR 102.0-109.0 million (USD 114.2-122.1 million) and its full year Adjusted EBITDA range of EUR 15.2-18.5 million (USD 17.0-20.7 million), noting that the Company is currently tracking to the lower end of guidance.
Bragg is actively advancing a robust pipeline of opportunities that is anticipated to drive strong momentum as we enter 2025. The outlook for 2025 remains positive, with expectations of sustained double-digit top line growth, expanding bottom line margins, and increased operational leverage, further strengthening Bragg’s position in the market. The preceding guidance and outlook constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws, and is based on a number of assumptions and subject to a number of risks.
