Esports Technologies Acquires GB License to Operate in the UK
Esports Technologies got a much-needed boost after taking a tumble over the last week. The Las Vegas-based eSports wagering company managed to acquire a gaming license to operate in the UK. This permit now gives the company access to a massive market with an estimated worth of $19.2 billion. This is according to UKGC data.
Esports Technologies Shares Jump, Gains 1.25 Million Customers in the UK
The news of the license acquisition resulted in the jump in the company’s shares. Wednesday saw the shares jump by at least 3%. This was after they rose 5% on Tuesday. The growth couldn’t have come at a better time after the company suffered damaging stocks tumble at 17%+. This was a week ago.
The UKGC license acquisition came after Esports Technologies completed the acquisition of Aspire Global’s B2C consumer unit. Esports completed the deal for around $76 million in both stocks and cash. The acquisition means Esports Technologies now has access to over 1.25 million customers in the UK alone.
These are customers in Aspire’s sportsbook and casino brands. They include Hopa, Karamba, and Griffon Casino. The UK boasts of one of the most developed gaming markets worldwide. This means the license acquisition paired with Aspire’s B2C acquisition could see the company generate exciting results moving forward.
Also included in the Aspire transaction is a further acquisition of three brands:
- BetTarget
- GeneratioinVIP
- Dansk777
Bart Barden commented on the latest achievement by Esports. The COO emphasized the importance of the UKGC license terming it as a significant milestone.
