Gambling.com Group Third Quarter Revenue Rises 94% to $19.6 Million
Gambling.com Group Limited (Nasdaq: GAMB) (“Gambling.com Group” or the “Company”), a multi-award-winning performance marketing company and a leading provider of digital marketing services for the global online gambling industry, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Charles Gillespie, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Gambling.com Group, commented, “Our quarterly results, including record revenue, reflect continued strength in established markets, our successful execution in the rapidly growing North American market and the benefits of our efficient operating model which drives attractive operating margins and consistent positive Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. Third quarter 2022 revenue rose 94%, inclusive of currency headwinds, to $19.6 million; Adjusted EBITDA increased 32% to $6.4 million; and we generated Free Cash Flow of $4.9 million. In addition, new depositing customers rose 152% year-over-year in the third quarter and nearly 20% on a quarterly sequential basis.
“Our investments to expand the breadth and quality of our portfolio of performance marketing websites ahead of new North American market launches has positioned Gambling.com Group for strong performance from its first day of operations in each of these new markets. The efficacy of this strategy is evident in our strong third quarter revenue growth in North America, which increased nearly 300% year-over-year to $9.1 million. This growth reflects, in part, contributions from three new markets that have come online since Q3 2021, including a strong first month of operations in Kansas which opened on September 1. We believe our similar investments in premium domains to address markets that we expect to come online over the next several quarters, including Ohio, Maryland and Massachusetts, position the Company for similarly strong starts as these new markets formally launch. In addition to leveraging our extraordinary North American growth opportunity, we continue to grow in more established markets, as reflected by our all-time record quarterly revenue in the U.K. and Ireland. Gambling.com Group’s strong performance in both new and mature markets provides clear evidence that our performance marketing platform helps online gambling operators address their critically important goal of investing in efficient and profitable customer acquisition that delivers easily attributable and quantifiable returns.
“Our consistently strong Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, even as we continue to invest to drive further growth, is a key differentiator for Gambling.com Group. We will continue to benefit from our proprietary technology, which offers us competitive advantages, a significant pathway for near and long-term growth in North America, a track record of delivering consistent growth in our established markets and an operating model that drives profitability. As such, we are confident in our ability to grow over the balance of this year and extend our successes in 2023 and beyond.”

Prime Skill Games Inc. Official Response to AGCO Press Release

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.
Let me be perfectly clear
Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.
Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.
We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.
We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.
To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.
Sincerely
Matt Zamroźniak
Chief Executive Officer
Prime Skill Games Inc.
