Golden Matrix Group Reports $150M Preliminary FY 2024 Consolidated Revenue Guidance
Golden Matrix Group, Inc., a leading provider of innovative gaming and technology solutions, today announced preliminary revenue estimates of $150 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, a 61% year-over-year increase over FY 2023 revenues of $93 million.
On a pro forma basis, assuming the consolidation of both Golden Matrix Group and its subsidiary Meridianbet, the combined revenues for FY 2024 would have been approximately $163 million.
In April 2024, Golden Matrix Group completed the acquisition of Meridianbet, whereby Meridianbet became the accounting acquirer. In accordance with GAAP and SEC rules, the reported 61% growth reflects performance against Meridianbet’s FY 2023 revenues as the baseline, and as a result of these accounting principles GMGI revenues for Q1 2024 will not be included in the revenues for 2024.
Preliminary Revenue Highlights – Geographical Revenue Split
- Americas: $5.08 million (3.36%)
- K.: $21.29 million (14.06%)
- Australia: $4.61 million (3.05%)
- Europe (Excluding U.K.): $89.78 million (59.34%)
- Asia: $17.86 million (11.80%)
- Africa: $12.61 million (8.33%)
The FY 2024 results were underpinned by:
- Strong performance across key markets
- An expanded portfolio of sports and iGaming offerings, including the launch of a series of AI-driven products
- Strategic market entries in South Africa, Peru and Australia, further diversifying the Company’s global footprint
These preliminary results are subject to finalization and audit. Golden Matrix Group plans to release its full audited financial results for FY 2024 in March 2025.

From Zero to Seven: ICONIC21’s Slot Portfolio Expands Rapidly
In-demand live casino and iGaming content provider quickly doubles its just-launched live slot offering with seven thrilling titles now available to operators and their players.
ICONIC21’s just launched live slot portfolio now stands at seven titles as the provider continues to enhance its market leading offering, laying the foundation for its place at the front of a vertical set for long-term growth and success.
The new releases — Dao Riches, Fiesta Wilds and Vitamin Joy 25 — all take the classic slot format, which is highly sought-after by players in both real money gaming and sweepstakes markets. All three titles feature high volatility and incorporate popular mechanics and features such as:
- Dao Riches: An Asian-themed slot where Scatters and Free Spins take centre stage.
- Fiesta Wilds: A lively Mexican fiesta-themed game featuring vertically Expanding Wilds and an entertaining Buy the Bonus feature.
- Vitamin Joy 25: A follow-up to Vitamin Joy, now offering 25 payout lines and Multipliers that can stack up to x81.
These games continue the trend of classic slot experiences designed to meet player demand across real money and sweepstakes, and across multiple global markets while also delivering consistent success for operators.
With timeless themes and easy-to-understand mechanics, the games are ideal for both acquisition and retention strategies. Their familiarity and strong performance ensure they remain sticky and engaging for players.
Edvardas Sadovskis, CPO of ICONIC21, said: “Kicking off our slot vertical with seven titles that share a classic repertoire, yet feature diversity, was the perfect move for our clients. We plan to launch two new slots every month moving forward with each title increasingly tailored to our clients’ needs.
“While we’ll continue to explore new themes and introduce more innovative features over time, these recent releases cement our slot portfolio as a strong, reliable offering. It’s exciting to see such a small collection of games take shape so quickly after the vertical’s launch, and we’re eager to add even more titles over the coming months.”
ICONIC21 is expanding its content portfolio beyond live casino, with slots, crash games, RNG games, promo tools and more all included in its 2025 roadmap.
Real money gaming and sweepstakes operators can learn more about ICONIC21’s flexible offerings at ICE Barcelona, stand #5B16, where the company will be exhibiting and showcasing its full suite of games during the expo.
