NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The online gaming industry has completely taken off in the last few years and is accelerating faster than ever in 2020 due to the ongoing health crisis. With casinos shutting their doors for months on end and major sports postponing their seasons, online gambling has become a popular alternative among gamblers across the globe. Favorable regulatory development has also added to the online gambling industry&#39;s appeal, with six states voting in favor of online gaming legalization during the US election. Moving forward into 2021, the market is only expected to grow, creating an exciting opportunity for mobile gambling companies like 888 Holdings (OTCPK: EIHDF), Penn National Gaming (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/PENN#NASDAQ">PENN</a>), International Game Technology PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/IGT#NYSE">IGT</a>), and Bragg Gaming Group (TSXV:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BRAG#TSXV">BRAG</a>) (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BRGGF#OTCQX">BRGGF</a>).
Online gambling revenue is expected to account for 20% of gambling revenue in 2020 and will likely take over a larger segment of the market as more US states embrace online gambling. By 2023, <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.actionnetwork.com/legal-online-sports-betting/us-states-projected-approve-legal-sports-betting-2023" rel="nofollow">a projected 37 states</a> will have legal sports betting, which stands to benefit companies looking to expand into new markets, such as Bragg Gaming Group. The company has already moved into <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.bragg.games/press-releases-1/2020/12/7/bragg-gamings-oryx-gaming-strikes-multi-jurisdictional-distribution-deal-with-paf" rel="nofollow">several new European markets</a> this year and is continuing to suss out new opportunities. 
Bragg Gaming Group Expands Its Reach
What sets Bragg Gaming Group apart from other companies looking to dominate the massive mobile gambling market is that it specializes in providing turnkey B2B online gaming solutions to online casino operators. Over the last two years, the company has tripled its customer base and added several prominent names to its roster, including Seneca Resorts &amp; Casinos, Kaizen Gaming, 888 Casino, SBTech, and soft2bet. Bragg has also continued to grow its revenue throughout 2020, posting a 44% increase in its <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2020/06/30/2055360/0/en/Bragg-Gaming-Group-Achieves-44-Per-Cent-Revenue-Growth-in-the-First-Quarter.html" rel="nofollow">Q1 2020 revenue</a> and an impressive 107% increase in revenue in the second quarter. 
On November 23, Bragg Gaming Group announced its third quarter results, <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.bragg.games/press-releases-1/2020/11/23/bragg-achieves-exceptional-72-per-cent-revenue-growth-in-q3" rel="nofollow">achieving 72% revenue growth year-over-year</a> and generating Adjusted EBITDA of C$2.8 million in the quarter, as compared to C$300,000 for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margins also significantly increased to 15.7%, up from 2.6% in Q3 2019, due to improved cost control and higher scale. 
Moving into 2021, Bragg Gaming Group is looking to seize this opportunity with fast growth by strategically expanding into new markets as they open up legally to online casinos. On December 7, its subsidiary ORYX Gaming announced a multi-jurisdictional distribution deal with international operator Paf to provide its exclusive RGS content across several regulated markets and brands. As per the agreement, ORYX&#39;s content will be made available on Paf&#39;s online casinos in Estonia, Sweden, Spain, Latvia, and Finland. The news came just one week after Bragg announced its <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.bragg.games/press-releases-1/2020/11/30/oryx-gaming-partners-enters-swiss-market-with-mycasinoch-partnership" rel="nofollow">entrance into the Swiss market</a> after signing a content deal with leading operator mycasino.ch by Grand Casino Luzern.
Online Gambling Companies Grow Presence in Legal US States
International online gambling platform 888 Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/EIHDF#OTC">EIHDF</a>) is another company that has been expanding its reach. On December 2, the company <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.thegazette.com/subject/news/business/iowa-onlne-sports-betting-2021-gambling-888-holdings-20201202" rel="nofollow">announced</a> that it will be expanding its  sports betting services into Indiana, Colorado, and Iowa through various partnerships. Iowa legalized sports betting on professional sports in August 2019. Within the first year, Iowans <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.thegazette.com/subject/news/government/first-year-of-iowa-sports-betting-gains-yards-but-not-touchdown-20200831" rel="nofollow">wagered over $400 million</a>, producing approximately $30 million in revenue for Iowa casinos.
American casino and racetrack operator Penn National Gaming (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/PENN#NASDAQ">PENN</a>) is another company looking to stake a claim in the US online gambling market. The company <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/1/29/21113130/barstool-sports-penn-national-deal-dave-portnoy-chernin" rel="nofollow">bought digital media company Barstool Sports</a> in January for $450 million to gain entrance into the lucrative online betting market. In September, Penn National Gaming announced a soft launch of its new Barstool Sportsbook mobile app in Pennsylvania; then in November, the company <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://pennnationalgaming.gcs-web.com/news-releases/news-release-details/penn-national-gaming-set-open-first-retail-barstool-sportsbook" rel="nofollow">announced the open</a><a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://pennnationalgaming.gcs-web.com/news-releases/news-release-details/penn-national-gaming-set-open-first-retail-barstool-sportsbook" rel="nofollow">ing</a> of its first retail-branded Barstool Sportsbook at Ameristar Casino Resort Spa Black Hawk.
International Game Technology PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/IGT#NYSE">IGT</a>) has also been growing its stake in the US gaming market this year. On November 23, the company <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.igt.com/Explore%20IGT/News/News%20Room%20Details?Index=2020112393f0" rel="nofollow">announced a multi-year agreement</a> with Maverick Gaming. The deal will see IGT&#39;s leading PlaySports platform power retail sports betting at Maverick&#39;s three Colorado-based casinos, as well as interactive sports betting throughout Colorado through Play Maverick Sports.
With more and more states and countries around the world moving towards online gambling legalization, leading online gaming companies like Bragg Gaming Group will likely continue to expand their reach and capture the growing market.

Mobile Gambling Could Be 2021's Biggest Online Gaming Trend

NEW YORK, Jan. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- We are in the middle of an unprecedented time in the legal gambling industry. New markets all over the world are opening up to regulated online and land-based gaming.

Bragg also recently <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bragg-gaming-enters-netherlands-deal-130000841.html" rel="nofollow">partnered with JVH Gaming &amp; Entertainment Group</a>, giving the company its entry point into the Netherlands market as well. To cement the deal, ORYX will provide JVH with its iGaming platform, which will bring JVH&#39;s business online for the first time.
In December, Bragg <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.bragg.games/press-releases-1/2020/12/7/bragg-gamings-oryx-gaming-strikes-multi-jurisdictional-distribution-deal-with-paf" rel="nofollow">announced</a> a multi-jurisdictional deal with Finnish international casino operator Paf that will see ORYX content distributed in Sweden, Estonia, Spain, Latvia, and Finland. In November, Bragg entered the Swiss market via a <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.bragg.games/press-releases-1/2020/11/30/oryx-gaming-partners-enters-swiss-market-with-mycasinoch-partnership" rel="nofollow">partnership with</a> online casino operator mycasino.ch by Grand Casino Luzern. The company has had an eye on the Swiss market since 2019 when legislation opened the country to online betting.
&#34;We&#39;ve made extraordinary progress in 2020 and are very pleased with the substantial revenue and EBITDA growth that we&#39;ve delivered,&#34; Bragg CEO Adam Arviv said in a <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.bragg.games/press-releases-1/2020/11/23/bragg-achieves-exceptional-72-per-cent-revenue-growth-in-q3" rel="nofollow">recent release</a> on the company&#39;s Q3 revenue growth. &#34;We continue to expand globally, enhancing our content portfolio and technology offering, and securing new customers across key geographies.&#34;

In November, leading sports betting company DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.draftkings.com/about/news/2020/10/draftkings-set-to-launch-its-mobile-sportsbook-in-tennessee/" rel="nofollow">launched</a> its mobile sportsbook app in Tennessee. DraftKings has been rapidly expanding throughout the United States in recent months, in part due to legislative momentum for online sports betting throughout the country. Tennessee is now the ninth state in which the DraftKings app is operating. The company also established itself in Illinois, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey in the latter half of 2020. DraftKings has been expanding internationally as well, <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.draftkings.com/about/news/2020/10/draftkings-and-peermont-launch-palacebet-in-south-africa/" rel="nofollow">partnering</a> with South African casino operator Peermont Hotels, Gaming and Resorts in October.

The UK-based company also announced that it would be moving into Indiana and Colorado through similar partnerships with local license-holding companies.
This wave of legalization and regulation could be the biggest opportunity in the history of the online betting industry for rapidly expanding companies like Bragg Gaming Group as they establish themselves in the early days of high-potential new markets.

New Betting Markets Offer Opportunities for Expanding Gaming Companies

NEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- When it comes to online gaming, a shift in attitude towards betting is underway, leading to projections of the <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.usnews.com/news/sports/articles/2021-01-06/us-sports-bet-revenue-could-hit-3b-in-2021-ny-backs-mobile" rel="nofollow">US sports betting market hitting US$3 billion in 2021</a>. The advent of legal online sports betting is rippling across several markets, with five more states looking to <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.legalsportsreport.com/47118/sports-betting-news-jan-19-2021/" rel="nofollow">legalize this year</a>. As new seasons are underway in both the NBA and NHL, it appears that the pains of last season&#39;s adjustments are behind the pro sports leagues, and <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/nba-reports-notable-television-ratings-increases-from-last-season/ar-BB1cXMwi" rel="nofollow">ratings are on the rise</a>. With the rising interest in pro sports, the betting markets are seeing a surge, which is aiding several online gaming tech companies, including Bragg Gaming Group (TSXV:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BRAG#TSXV">BRAG</a>) (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BRGGF#OTCQX">BRGGF</a>), DraftKings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>), Penn National Gaming (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/PENN#NASDAQ">PENN</a>), 888 Holdings (OTCPK: EIHDF), and Boyd Gaming (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BYD#NYSE">BYD</a>).
It&#39;s not just the United States that&#39;s seeing a sports resurgence. Via its market-leading subsidiary ORYX Hub platform, Bragg Gaming Group (TSXV:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BRAG#TSXV">BRAG</a>) (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BRGGF#OTCQX">BRGGF</a>) announced the launch of RGS services for European sports betting and casino operator Betway.
&#34;We&#39;re delighted to see our partnership with Betway go live and our titles are going to offer a new dimension of content to their players,&#34; said Matevz Mazij, Managing Director of ORYX Gaming. &#34;Our RGS content has already been proven strong in Germany and beyond, and this partnership will further strengthen the reach and reputation for both our companies.&#34;
Prior to the Betway announcement, Bragg Gaming also <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bragg-gaming-enters-netherlands-deal-130000841.html" rel="nofollow">struck a deal</a> to enter the Netherlands, through Dutch land-based operators JVH Gaming &amp; Entertainment Group. The agreement includes an integration with leading global sports betting provider Kambi Group. 
&#34;The Dutch online gambling market becoming regulated has been some time coming and we are excited about the opportunities now lying ahead,&#34; said Eric Olders, CEO and Chairman at JVH. &#34;We&#39;re confident that with ORYX&#39;s experience and the quality of their products, we will be able to offer our customers the best level of service and an unrivalled player experience. They have a great team and we look forward to partnering with them as one big team.&#34;
After an exceptional 2020 full of client launches, the Netherlands and Germany are the latest regulated market entries for ORYX. ORYX&#39;s content is certified or approved in 18 other regulated markets.
The last 12 months were especially positive for Bragg Gaming Group, which included <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bragg-achieves-exceptional-72-per-124600770.html" rel="nofollow">exceptional revenue growth of 72%</a> in Q3 2020. This momentum gave Bragg the push needed to graduate to the main board, the <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bragg-gaming-graduate-toronto-stock-130000709.html" rel="nofollow">Toronto Stock </a><a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bragg-gaming-graduate-toronto-stock-130000709.html" rel="nofollow">Exchange</a>, where it started trading on January 27, 2021.
&#34;Bragg is well on its way to becoming a global leader in the online gaming space,&#34; said Paul Godfrey, Board Member at Bragg Gaming. &#34;The listing on the TSX will generate increased awareness among institutional and global investors and will put the Company squarely in the sights of major industry analysts. As the global online gaming industry continues to expand at an exponential rate, investors are looking for companies with the technologies and expertise to lead the way, and Bragg is a prime example.&#34;
Bragg wasn&#39;t the only group to enjoy a prosperous 2020, and play off of the momentum.
When it comes to sports betting, DraftKings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) stands out as a pure-play sports betting company that has achieved a household name status.
Morgan Stanley is projecting that DraftKings Inc. could <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/draftkings-could-beat-revenue-estimates-by-25-25-over-next-4-years-morgan-stanley/ar-BB1cVtyg" rel="nofollow">beat revenue estimates by 25%</a> over the next 4 years.
&#34;While stay-at-home tailwinds likely helped, the strength in iGaming has extended well beyond the early casino closures, suggesting acquired customers will continue playing and sports betting revenues beat our 4Q expectations despite a weaker sports calendar,&#34; wrote Allen wrote in a note shared by Benzinga.
Allen sees launches and approvals in Arizona, Connecticut, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, New York, and Ontario as catalysts for this.
After the death of former Chairman Sheldon Adelson (a long-time opponent of online gaming), Las Vegas Sands now appears to be considering the <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.casinonewsdaily.com/2021/01/15/las-vegas-sands-targets-888-holdings-for-potential-collaboration/" rel="nofollow">takeover</a> of 888 Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/EIHDF#OTC">EIHDF</a>). It&#39;s clear that with Adelson no longer at the helm, his former deputy Rod Goldstein is taking the lead on potential new expansion into online sports betting, and the potential 888 deal is an indication of this shift.
Wholly-owned subsidiary 888 Sport has been seen as a perfect sports betting addition to the parent company&#39;s network of online poker and online casino games. Reviews of its user friendliness and responsiveness have been overwhelmingly positive, including living up to the claim of being one of the <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.covers.com/betting/reviews/888" rel="nofollow">best mobile betting apps in the business</a>. By adding 888 to its roster, Las Vegas Sands could potentially make one of the biggest splashes in the industry.
Getting out ahead into the online sports betting market, Penn National Gaming (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/PENN#NASDAQ">PENN</a>) turned heads when it partnered with Barstool Sports to launch sportsbook offerings for new markets. 
Most recently, the duo <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/penn-national-gaming-set-to-launch-barstool-sportsbook-mobile-app-and-icasino-products-in-michigan-2021-01-19" rel="nofollow">launched</a> their sportsbook mobile app and iCasino products in the state of Michigan, after the Michigan Gaming Control Board approved the applications.
Another recently launched sportsbook platform is B Connected Sports from Boyd Gaming (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BYD#NYSE">BYD</a>). The mobile app allows the ability to bet on all professional and collegiate sports, among other features. However, at this time, the app is only available for users in Nevada. 
Though the rollout of B Connected is still in a relatively early stage, Boyd Gaming has retained a 5% stake in the popular FanDuel brand, which Flutter Entertainment just paid <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/flutter-to-pay-dollar42-billion-to-increase-fanduel-stake/ar-BB1bB6R3" rel="nofollow">$4.2 billion</a> to increase their majority stake in.
As fantasy sports and sports betting gains in popularity among the big players like those mentioned above, companies like Bragg Gaming Group stand in the spotlight as an already established and growing player in the industry.

Fantasy Sports and Sports Betting to Surge as Major Leagues Return to Play

Rapidly Evolving Esports Scene Keeps Players Engaged Through Multiple Betting Platforms

NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The gaming industry has come a long way over the past couple of decades, fueled by new technological advancements like AR\VR, rising smartphone adoption, as well as changing gamer preferences. The rise of online gaming has been especially interesting to watch from an investor perspective as it has been one of the major <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2020/11/12/2125769/0/en/Gaming-Market-Growth-Trends-Forecasts-2020-2025.html" rel="nofollow">driving forces</a> in the industry&#39;s exponential growth. In addition to this, gradual changes in regulations that have allowed online gambling to become legal in some US states have been instrumental in bolstering the industry&#39;s future prospects. With Google now <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/28/22254886/google-allowing-gambling-apps-play-store-more-countries-us" rel="nofollow">increasing its support</a> for online gaming, companies like 888 Holdings (OTCPK: EIHDF), Penn National Gaming (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/PENN#NASDAQ">PENN</a>), Rush Street Interactive (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/RSI#NYSE">RSI</a>), DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>), and Bragg Gaming (TSX:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BRAG#TSX">BRAG</a>) (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BRGGF#OTCQX">BRGGF</a>) seem extremely well positioned to benefit from this move.
Google Allows Online Gambling Apps Back into the Play Store
Google recently announced that it would be making changes to its Play Store policies that would allow online gambing and betting apps in the US and 15 other countries by March 1, 2021. Online casino games, lotteries, sports betting, and daily fantasy sports are all included in the new policy, and since Bragg Gaming (TSX:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BRAG#TSX">BRAG</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BRGGF#OTC">BRGGF</a>) offers all these services in addition to a turnkey mobile and online i-Gaming platform, Google&#39;s policy change ties in well with its short-term plans of <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2021/01/26/2164672/0/en/Bragg-Gaming-Provides-Corporate-Update-in-Advance-of-Graduation-to-Toronto-Stock-Exchange.html" rel="nofollow">expanding throughout North America</a>.
With industry estimates projecting that at least $20 billion has been wagered since the United States Supreme Court allowed states to legalize sports betting back in 2018, and that 80% of bets are being placed online, it&#39;s clear that traditional wagering has been disrupted and early movers have already began carving up their share of this lucrative market.
Bragg Gaming hasn&#39;t been left behind and is currently in the middle of aggressive expansion plans within both the US and Europe. This has resulted in a couple of notable agreements and partnerships, such as the one with sports betting solutions provider Kambi Group. The two agreed to a multi-channel deal to supply sportsbook technology to three New York casinos operated by Seneca Gaming Corporation.
Back in December, Bragg expanded its footprint in Germany after <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.bragg.games/press-releases-1/2020/12/16/oryx-gaming-extends-footprint-in-germany-with-stargames-deal" rel="nofollow">partnering</a> with StarGames and signing a multi-jurisdiction distribution deal with Nordic-based international operator Paf to provide its exclusive RGS content.
Partnerships Spur Online Gaming Adoption
888 Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/EIHDF#OTC">EIHDF</a>) initially launched in New Jersey in partnership with Kambi, its sportsbook provider across global regulated markets to offer customers a range of sports markets to bet on across desktop, mobile, and tablet devices. According to the company, the launch would pave the way for expansion into other states with legalized online gambling while setting the stage for further expansion as regulations changed. Recently, the company cemented its position as the premier online poker platform after it agreed to a <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://corporate.888.com/sites/default/files/210119%20-%20888%20extends%20strategic%20U.S.%20partnership%20.pdf" rel="nofollow">multi-year extension</a> of its exclusive B2B poker partnership with Caesars Interactive Entertainment which will see it continue to power the World Series of Poker (&#34;WSOP&#34;) brand&#39;s online poker rooms.
Penn National Gaming (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/PENN#NASDAQ">PENN</a>) has also been making significant progress in online gaming thanks to its most recent acquisition of Barstool Sports. With this acquisition, the company gained access to Barstool&#39;s 66 million unique visitors a month with the perfect age demographic to fuel new customer acquisitions. And the strategy is working. Among the highlights of the company&#39;s recent fourth quarter earnings were the <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2021/02/04/penn-national-gaming-penn-q4-2020-earnings-call-tr/" rel="nofollow">strong demand</a> for the Barstool Sportsbook mobile app experienced in Michigan after being introduced last month. 
Rush Street Interactive (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/RSI#NYSE">RSI</a>), which operates online casino and sports betting gaming companies in the US was the first gaming company to launch a regulated online gaming site in Pennsylvania. The company attracted a bit of attention after it partnered with Pariplay Ltd, part of The Aspire Global Group, due to the fact that the partnership would make it the first online casino operator in the country to offer the group&#39;s assortment of high-quality online casino games on its platform. The company boasts of being one of the fastest growing i-gaming platforms and will now operate in nine states after recently <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" target="_blank" href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210126006139/en/Rush-Street-Interactive-to-Launch-BetRivers.com-Online-Sportsbook-in-Virginia-Tomorrow" rel="nofollow">launching</a> its flagship sportsbook betrivers.com in Virginia.

Increased Support for Online Gaming Could Give Industry a Boost

NEW YORK, March 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Last year has shaped up to be crucial for the sports betting industry in the United States, as the U.S. gambling industry won big in the election. Three states had measures on the ballot to legalize sports betting: Maryland, Louisiana and South Dakota. All voted yes. Before the election, Tennessee became the 19th state where sports betting became effective. However, the law stipulates that 80% of the tax revenue raised from sports betting in Tennessee will go to help fund education; 15% will be allotted for local government infrastructure projects, and 5% will go towards improving mental health in the state, according to a report by the Martinsville Bulletin. Besides the election results, another factor most significant to the boost of the sports betting segment is attributed to the usage of smartphones, which have easy user interfaces and can be used at anytime and anywhere. According to a report by the Associated Press, companies like DraftKings are making serious strides in developing easy-to-use systems available to the public through partnerships with sports leagues. Bragg Gaming Group Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BRGGF#OTC">BRGGF</a>) (TSXV:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BRAG#TSXV">BRAG</a>), Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/WYNN#NASDAQ">WYNN</a>), Alphabet Inc.

Recently, the first college sports deal with a gambling company outside of Nevada was implemented. According to a report by Bloomberg Tax, the deal between the University of Colorado and PointsBet—an Australian based bookmaker launching its U.S. headquarters in Denver, is worth USD 1.625 Million, and includes tax-write offs. It is &#34;the latest in an explosion of ad-deals between sportsbooks and teams or leagues, although it&#39;s the first collegiate pact of its kind,&#34; the report explains.
Bragg Gaming Group Inc. (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BRGGF#OTCQX">BRGGF</a>) (TSXV:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BRAG#TSXV">BRAG</a>) announced yesterday that, &#34;wholly-owned subsidiary ORYX Gaming is taking Croatian land-based operator Senator online with a complete turnkey solution.

Senator will utilize ORYX&#39;s real time data and player engagement platforms, including tools such as Real Time campaign management, Leaderboards and Tournaments, Achievements, Jackpots and more.
Senator also operates casinos in several other territories, including Macedonia, Kenya, Mauritius, Central and South America. The online launch in Croatia marks the company&#39;s first venture away from its traditional land-based interests.

NEW YORK, March 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The number of smartphone users will grow beyond 4 billion users by 2023, which means the revenue from mobile gaming seems likely to grow as well, with experts projecting that revenue from the industry will cross the $100 billion mark by 2023. The rollout of 5G is one of the factors pushing the growth in the use of smartphones and also presents an opportunity for players to engage more with their favorite games. Favorable regulatory developments across different jurisdictions have also made online gambling a lucrative field for gambling companies such as Bragg Gaming (TSX:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BRAG#TSX">BRAG</a>) (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BRGGF#OTCQX">BRGGF</a>), 888 Holdings (OTCPK:EIHDF), GAN Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/GAN#NASDAQ">GAN</a>), Golden Nugget Gaming (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/GNOG#NASDAQ">GNOG</a>), and Rush Street Interactive (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/RSI#NYSE">RSI</a>).

&#34;The regulated market in Croatia is enjoying great growth and we have had great success in this jurisdiction so far,&#34; said Matevž Mazij, Managing Director of ORYX Gaming. &#34;Our turnkey solution provides our partners with everything they need for a successful casino, sportsbook, and lottery operation. Senator is an established and respected local operator, so to have been chosen by them to facilitate their entry into the online space is an honour. Our high-quality products and diverse content will allow them to hit the ground running with a premium online offering.&#34;
&#34;As the popularity of online gaming goes from strength to strength in Croatia, we are excited about taking our knowledge and expertise to launch an online offering for our existing customer base as well as a completely new audience,&#34; said Dimitar Deskoski, CEO of Senator. 
As part of its rapidly expanding international presence in mobile gaming, Bragg also announced a revenue-sharing agreement between its subsidiary ORYX and Premier Gaming.

The company is looking to expand its market reach in the US where it is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the gains the gaming industry promises.
