Kalamba Games launches in Ontario through Bragg Gaming distribution deal

Published

on

 

Kalamba Games has entered the newly-regulated Ontario market in partnership with Bragg Gaming Group, further boosting its growth across key jurisdictions.

The deal heralds a further new market entry for Kalamba with a selection of high-performing titles becoming available for Canadian players.

The content will be distributed to local operators through a dual deployment of Bragg’s Remote Games Server (“RGS”) technology from both its ORYX Gaming and Spin Games divisions via a single integration. Bragg has been supplying proprietary and third-party games in Ontario since the market went live in April and the content has quickly gained traction in the region.

Ontario offers Kalamba an exciting opportunity to expand its reach to a new audience and the launch  is indicative of the studio’s recent development becoming one of the fastest-growing content and technology providers in the industry in recent years.

The emerging market entry is another opportunity for Kalamba to leverage its growth, having recently launched BullsEye, its own RGS, its Stargazer analytics platform, and a range of promotional tools on top of its commercially successful slot releases.

The debut in Ontario follows a string of similar expansions over the last 12 months, with Kalamba having achieved certification in several regulated markets.

Andrew Crosby, Chief Commercial Officer at Kalamba Games, said: “We are excited to be furthering our existing relationship with the Bragg Gaming Group and seeing our unique and innovative range of slots introduced to another new market.

“Its established position within the Ontario market will see us deliver our titles to a number of operators in this newly regulated region for the first time and we’re eager to see player’s reception to our games.”

Doug Fallon, Group Director of Content at Bragg, said: “One of our strategies for operators is delivering high quality and engaging titles through key partner studios. Kalamba Games has developed a fantastic reputation for innovative game mechanics through their range of dynamic games that we feel will resonate with players in North America and are thrilled to offer the games to operators.”

Bragg Gaming Group announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2025. The Company delivered diversified revenue growth, significant margin expansion, and strong cash generation, driven by its strategic focus on proprietary content and expansion in key growth markets.

Summary of Financial and Operational Highlights

“We are thrilled to be reporting a strong start to 2025, showing that we are executing on our strategy and moving the metrics that we believe are most important to shareholder value,” Matevž Mazij, CEO of Bragg commented: “During the quarter we continued to improve our product mix, generating a greater proportion of revenue from high-margin proprietary content. In turn, this contributed to a higher Adjusted EBITDA margin, which combined with careful cost controls demonstrate operational leverage and increased cash generation.

“As is widely reported, the Netherlands market has slowed in recent quarters due to regulatory pressures, a challenge faced by Bragg as with all operators and suppliers who serve this regulated market. I’m pleased that Bragg has shown resilience under these pressures and is reducing its exposure to the Netherlands while seeing strong growth in markets such as the United States and Brazil. Excluding the Netherlands, revenue growth year-over-year came in at a robust 27%1, driven in part by triple-digit growth in the U.S.”

  • Improved Margins and Cash generation: Adjusted EBITDA margins increased 169bps year over year; excluding non-recurring exceptional costs and FX impacts, EUR 0.9 million of free cash generated.
  • Improved Revenue Diversification: Continued decreasing reliance on the Netherlands and lower-margin BetCity, replaced by growth in margin-accretive revenue in new markets.
  • US Market Growth: Bragg experienced triple-digit growth in U.S. revenue derived from its proprietary and exclusive online casino content, significantly outpacing the overall market growth; U.S. expected to contribute up to 15% of revenue this year.
  • Brazil Launch: Successfully launched content in the newly regulated Brazilian iGaming market, a key strategic territory expected to contribute up to 10% of revenue this year.
  • Strategic Partnerships: Announced a games development and remote games server technology leasing agreement with Caesars Digital, and invested in RapidPlay, a specialist Brazilian casino content studio.

2025 Outlook

Bragg remains focused on expanding its presence in regulated markets, enhancing its proprietary and exclusive content offerings, and leveraging its technology to drive continued growth and profitability in 2025 and beyond. The Company is actively advancing a robust pipeline of opportunities to drive strong momentum in the business.

The Company anticipates double-digit growth in Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA in the full year of 2025, with revenue guidance projected at between EUR 117.5 million and EUR 123.0 million, and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of between EUR 19.0 million and EUR 21.5 million, driven by a strategic focus on proprietary and exclusive content, and continued momentum in growth markets such as the U.S. and Latam.
