Gaming Realms PLC Announces Pre-close Trading Update
Gaming Realms plc, the developer and licensor of mobile-focused gaming content, announced a pre-close trading update for the half-year ending 30 June 2024 (H1 2024).
The company reported expected H1 2024 revenue of approximately £13.5 million and adjusted EBITDA of approximately £5.8 million, reflecting year-on-year increases of 18% and 21%, respectively. Excluding brand licensing from the first half numbers, where there was a £600,000 one-off item in H1 2023, the adjusted EBITDA for H1 2024 increased by over 45% year-on-year.
This robust performance was driven by the Group’s core content licensing business whose revenues grew 28% year-on-year, and where the company strengthened its market presence by partnering with 22 new clients and launching 7 new Slingo games.
In North America, highlights included the launch of the Slingo portfolio with Fanduel in Pennsylvania and Connecticut, Atlantic Lottery Corporation (Canadian Maritime Provincial Lottery) and also Fanatics in New Jersey, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
In Europe, Slingo went live with Pokerstars in Italy and Romania, DAZN in the UK and Spain, Livescore in the Netherlands, Solverde in Portugal, VirginBet in the UK and Entain in Spain.
The strong momentum experienced during the period provides the Board with the belief that the company is on track to meet its full-year targets, as it continues to expand into new markets and launch new games with existing partners.
The Company expects to announce its 2024 Interim Results during the week commencing 9 September 2024.
Mark Segal, Chief Executive Officer of Gaming Realms, said: “We are delighted with our strong performance in the first half of 2024, driven by the growth in our core content licensing business. Our expansion into new markets and the successful launch of new games with new and existing partners underscore the strength of our strategy. Looking ahead, we are confident in our ability to maintain this momentum and meet our full-year targets.”

T1 claims victory at Red Bull Home Ground 2024
After a thrilling Grand Final, T1 claimed the 2024 off-season champions title at this year’s Red Bull Home Ground. Emerging victorious with a 3-1 victory over Cloud9, they take home the much-coveted trophy for Korea.
In front of more than 2000 fans experiencing the excitement first-hand in Berlin, Germany and the thousands more watching at home, the professional VALORANT Invitational tournament saw a closely fought finale play out on the Arena Berlin stage.
As the event kicked off on Thursday 21 November, the Group Stages saw both T1 and Cloud9 put in dominant performances as they each went 2-0. While Team Heretics started in a strong position with a win over FOKUS, they fell to Cloud9 and, due to medical issues, were unable to continue, sending FUT Esports straight to the Semis. Vying for their own spot in the semi finals, last year’s champions Fnatic were unable to replicate their 2023 success as G2 headed into the lead with a 2-0 victory.
The Playoffs saw Cloud9 continue their dominant streak as their Semifinals match against G2 Esports went 2-0 with strong performances on both Sunset and Pearl. FUT Esports faced off against T1 in a hotly competitive game, with T1 taking the first map and FUT Esports the second. After a neck and neck showdown, T1 finally took Ascent as FUT bowed out the tournament and T1 advanced to the grand final.
The final stage of the competition saw Cloud9, who came in second place at last year’s tournament, go head to head against T1 in a thrilling matchup. Continuing to step it up in the grand final, T1 were off to a strong start as they took Abyss in a closely fought first match. Although Cloud9 soon equalled the score as they took the second map, it was T1 that eventually emerged victorious, winning the next two closely contested games to claim the trophy and Red Bull Home Ground 2024 champion title.
Following an excellent performance throughout the tournament, Red Bull Home Ground champion BuZz of T1 said: “Winning this tournament means a lot for us. Against international teams we show we’re strong, so that’s why I’m happy we win this tournament and maybe we can keep this momentum until the end of 2025!”
