- Growth in Online Gambling and Betting: According to consensus estimates, the global online gambling and betting market is expected to grow heavily in the coming years with an expected compound annual growth rate of 10.6% from the period 2017 to 2024, attributed to factors including (1) increasing digitization, (2) higher disposable income, and (3) higher trust in online operators by gamblers.

- ELYS Platform: Recent deals with the (1) Chippewa Cree Tribe in Box Elder, Montana, (2) a Malta-based operator, and (3) Fleetwood Gaming, citing the strong business intelligence and risk management capabilities of the company’s ELYS platform, speak to the strength and potential of the ELYS platform to expand to other operators.
