Cirsa Enterprises S.A.U., an international gaming platform with market leading positions in Spain, Latin America, Morocco and Italy has announced its intention to proceed with the initial public offering (IPO) of its ordinary shares to qualified investors.

The Company intends to apply for its Shares to be admitted to trading on the Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid and Valencia Stock Exchanges through the Automated Quotation System (Mercado Continuo) of the Spanish Stock Exchanges. The decision to proceed and definitive timing for the Offering and Admission is subject to, among other factors, market conditions and the approval by the Spanish Securities Market Commission (Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, the CNMV).

Highlights of the Offering

The Offering is expected to comprise a primary offering of €400 million newly issued Shares as well as a secondary sale of approximately €60 million.

The net proceeds from the primary offering by the Company in an amount of approximately €375 million will be used primarily to accelerate the Company’s proven growth strategy and to repay existing debt and reduce the Group’s net leverage ratio (net financial debt as of May 31, 2025 / EBITDA for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025) to approximately 2.7x as of May 31, 2025, after giving effect to the Offering.

The secondary sale will be conducted by LHMC Midco S.à r.l. solely for the indirect ultimate benefit of certain current and former employees and managers of CIRSA (together, “Management”). Management will not receive any cash proceeds (other than for the purposes of settling taxes and expenses) and on Admission, Management’s existing investment in CIRSA will be reorganised to be directly held in the Company.

In addition, the transaction will include a customary over-allotment option granted by LHMC Midco to the Joint Global Coordinators (on behalf of the Joint Bookrunners).

Joaquim Agut, Executive Chairman of CIRSA, said: “Today’s announcement is a significant milestone in the history of this Company, founded in Terrassa in 1978 and which has built an extraordinary performance track record with a presence in 11 countries, always operating exclusively in markets where gambling is regulated. Over the past 20 years, CIRSA has accelerated its international expansion by acquiring leading companies and consolidating a position of leadership in the markets in which it operates. Our growth was further accelerated by our transformative partnership with Blackstone in 2018, which has been instrumental to our success.”

Antonio Hostench, CEO of CIRSA, said: “We are an innovative company that seamlessly integrates both physical and online channels. Today, we are taking a defining step to continue writing another page in this extraordinary history of growth by announcing our intention to go public, which will provide us with the opportunity to undertake new projects and continue to consolidate our leadership in the sector.”

Peru and Brazil to provide launchpad for Latam expansion as ThrillTech strengthens presence in emerging regulated markets

ThrillTech, the B2B jackpot specialist, has taken a significant step forward in its international growth strategy after securing a B2B licence in Peru and regulatory certification in Brazil.

The approvals clear the path for ThrillTech to launch its proprietary player-funded jackpot solutions in Latin America for the first time, bringing its flagship ThrillPots product to one of the world’s most exciting and emerging regions for iGaming.

Latin America has become a focal point for operators in recent years, with Brazil’s market liberalisation and Peru’s structured regulatory framework, as set out by the country’s ministry of foreign trade and tourism (MINCETUR), providing fertile ground for innovative engagement tools.

By working tirelessly to secure entry into both countries, ThrillTech is positioning itself to support operators with compliant, performance-driven jackpot mechanics that can drive revenue and enhance retention.

Peter Mares, CTO and co-founder of ThrillTech, said: “Expanding into Latin America is a milestone moment for us. The region is bursting with opportunity, but it also demands solutions that are flexible, transparent, and built to scale. With a licence in Peru and certification in Brazil, we are ready to deliver the same measurable revenue impact to operators in Latam that we’ve already proven in Europe.

ThrillTech’s products are designed to provide operators with new revenue streams through side-bet jackpots, while also offering real-time engagement mechanics via cash-only rewards.

Already integrated with multiple tier-one operators in Europe, ThrillTech is now primed to replicate that success in Latam by delivering regulator-approved solutions to local operators.
