First Nations gaming group acquires Pure Canadian Gaming

Indigenous Gaming Partners (IGP) has acquired Alberta-based casino operator Pure Canadian Gaming following regulatory approvals from Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis (AGLC) and the Canada Competition Bureau.

Pure Canadian Gaming is based in Edmonton and operates four premier casinos across Alberta: two in Edmonton, one in Calgary and another in Lethbridge. While IGP has bought its operating assets, Pure’s real estate assets have been owned by VICI Properties Inc. since January 2023. VICI will now assign the master lease agreement it holds with Pure Canadian Gaming to IGP.

IGP is a new gaming company established by five Nova Scotia-based Mi’kmaw First Nations communities in partnership with Sonco Gaming Inc., a leader in Indigenous-owned casino development and management. It has acquired Pure from ONCAP, a private equity platform of Onex, for an undisclosed amount.

IGP says deal brings lasting opportunities for First Nations

IGP is focused on developing a portfolio of casinos through strategic acquisitions, with a mission to create meaningful economic opportunities for Indigenous communities.

“We’re excited to take this significant step forward in diversifying and building lasting economic opportunities for our Nations,” said Michael Peters, chairman of IGP and CEO of Glooscap Ventures, the business arm of one of the First Nations that comprises IGP.

“This acquisition allows us to enter the gaming industry at scale, creating new opportunities for growth and meaningful benefits for our communities. We appreciate the trust of our partners and look forward to building on their expertise as we expand into this exciting sector.”

This is the latest notable First Nations gaming deal to be struck in Canada in 2024. Over on Vancouver Island, B.C.’s Snuneymuxw First Nation acquired both Casino Nanaimo and Elements Casino Victoria from Great Canadian Entertainment earlier this year.

More strings to Sonco Gaming’s bow

Sonco Gaming will work with ICP on the day-to-day operations of Pure’s four casinos.

The company has developed and/or managed numerous Canadian Indigenous gaming projects, including Great Blue Heron Casino on Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation in Ontario, Grey Eagle Resort & Casino on the lands of Tsuut’ina First Nation outside Calgary, and Casino New Brunswick.

“Sonco is proud to have partnered with five experienced First Nations on this landmark acquisition,” said the company’s CEO Anthony Novac. “This transaction represents an important step toward economic reconciliation and demonstrates the potential for meaningful partnerships in Indigenous gaming.”

VICI holds right of first refusal

The deal has been supported by VICI, which owns a large North American casino portfolio including the real estate assets of Caesars Palace, the Venetian and nearly all MGM casino hotels in Las Vegas. VICI’s tenants include Hard Rock International and PENN Entertainment.

As part of the IGP agreement, VICI gained rights of first refusal on future IGP sales of gaming real estate.

“This transaction demonstrates VICI’s ability to collaboratively work with existing partners while building new relationships with highly experienced operators and First Nations in international jurisdictions,” said VICI VP of Business Development and Acquisitions Danny Valoy said. “We are pleased to welcome IGP as a new partner, and we look forward to expanding our relationship with IGP and Sonco as they pursue additional growth opportunities in the future.”

Bragg Gaming projects double-digit growth in 2025, will explore M&A

Bragg Gaming Group said it expects double-digit revenue growth in 2025 and remains committed to exploring strategic M&A moves next year to fuel its progress.

In an update on Dec. 10, the Toronto-based B2B iGaming provider’s CEO, Matevž Mazij, divulged that the firm remains “committed to creating shareholder value and liquidity opportunities over the next year through strategic transactions, or other value-enhancing initiatives.”

The update comes less than a month after Mazij told investors that the company’s strategic review this year ultimately yielded the conclusion that things should continue as they were for the time being. The firm had formed a special committee earlier to assess potential strategic alternatives after a mixed set of results in the last quarter of the last Canadian fiscal year. The company said at the time those could include the sale of the company or assets, a merger, financing or further acquisitions, but ultimately decided against any immediate move.

On Tuesday, though, Mazij said that “while the strategic review process has concluded, our dedication to pursuing these objectives heading into 2025 remains unchanged.”

He added that the strategic review process had given leadership important insights about what potential acquirers prioritize when considering bids. Bragg has identified key focus areas, such as stronger cash generation, increased revenue diversification, accelerated proprietary content growth and enhanced margins. “While the formal review process has concluded, it has sharpened our focus on the metrics that matter most,” Mazij added.

Insider stock purchases are evidence of confidence, says Bragg

In its statement on Tuesday, Bragg also announced significant insider share purchases which it said demonstrate management’s confidence in the company’s undervalued shares.

“The recent insider purchases by Bragg’s management and board underscore our confidence in the company’s near-term potential,” added Mazij. “The alignment between management’s insider purchases and our strategic roadmap demonstrates that we’re not just talking about value creation – we’re investing alongside our shareholders while actively pursuing paths to enhanced liquidity … As insiders, we clearly see the potential to see this value realized in 2025.”

Bragg also reiterated its 2025 outlook, which includes double-digit revenue growth, expanded bottom-line profit margins and increased operational leverage through 2025. The company will issue formal guidance early in 2025. In its last earnings update in mid-November, it reported record Q3 revenue powered by a range of new launches and partnerships.

Super Group raises financial guidance after president announces exit

Super Group has raised its full-year guidance in a move that CEO Neal Menashe said is down to “outstanding performance” in 2024.

The parent company of Betway, Spin and other brands has raised its full-year total revenue guidance to $1.68 billion USD ($2.40 billion CAD), up from its previous forecast of $1.63 billion USD ($2.31 billion CAD). It’s also raised its EBITDA significantly, up from $364.3 million USD ($515.9 million CAD) to at least $380.1 million USD ($538.2 million CAD).

The re-evaluated outlook comes six months after Super Group told investors it was pulling Betway out of the U.S. sports betting market following an internal review.

Company leadership had already boosted FY2024 guidance earlier in Q3.

Building on its strong performance, the board has also declared a special cash dividend to be paid in January 2025 to shareholders.

“I’m very proud of our performance this year and delighted we are in a position to raise our full-year revenue and ex-U.S. Adjusted EBITDA guidance again while announcing another dividend for 2024,” said Menashe in a statement. “We have consistently said that we will consider returning excess cash to shareholders, and the outstanding performance of the business throughout 2024 alongside the continued strength of our balance sheet, has given us the platform to be able to do this. It has been a super year for Super Group and we look forward to building on this success as we move into 2025.”

President Richard Hasson leaving in 2025

The update also comes the day after the company announced that longtime executive and current President and Chief Commercial Officer Richard Hasson is resigning from his roles effective next year.

Hasson has been with the firm for 13 years. He is expected to officially leave in the first half of 2025 to enable a smooth transition.

The company clarified that Hasson’s exit “is not the result of any disagreement between the parties whether on any matter relating to Super Group’s operations, policies, practices or otherwise.”

Super Group pleased with Canadian inroads

Menashe said on an earnings call last month that after pulling out of U.S. sports betting, an increased focus on Canada is paying off.

While the U.S. shutdown partially caused a drop in profits, success in Canada and growth in Europe and Africa drove the company to a 13% year-on-year increase in Q3 revenue. Canada is the business’ second-largest region in terms of revenue, after Africa.

The company operates five brands in Ontario’s commercial regulated online market, with the Jackpot City, Royal Vegas and Ruby Fortune online casinos joining Spin and the sportsbook-first Betway. It also has significant brand recognition in other provinces, where the government-run lottery corporations’ platforms are the only regulated online gaming offerings.

October 2024 data shown to Canadian Gaming Business by H2 Gambling Capital suggests that Super Group has captured around 7% of the total regulated market in Ontario, up from 4% last year. H2 data also found the company is by some distance the leading operator in Canada’s unregulated market with a 35% share.

FanDuel unveils new My Spend customer dashboard

FanDuel has launched a new My Spend tool designed to help users track and manage their spending and gaming activity habits.

Customers can view personalized stats including deposit and wager amounts and net winnings over a range of timeframes, from seven days to three months. The dashboard encourages customers to utilize FanDuel’s existing suite of responsible gaming tools, including deposit and wager limits.

My Spend was developed based on internal and external research that demonstrated players’ interest in accessing personalized insights into their activity and a deeper understanding of their own gambling behaviour.

FanDuel is supporting the launch with a new multi-platform advertising campaign that encourages customers to use the dashboard.

“FanDuel believes our customers should always have a budget and plan in mind when they engage with our products, and we are thrilled to introduce My Spend to help customers track their spending and manage their play,” said FanDuel VP of Responsible Gaming and Community Impact, Alison Kutler.

“As we look to continuously raise the standard for what it means to be a responsible operator, we look forward to continuing to bring new and innovative ways support our customers.”

My Spend is available across all FanDuel products, including sportsbook, casino, fantasy, racing and faceoff.

FanDuel strikes new sports betting deals

In the last few weeks, FanDuel have forged two notable sports betting partnerships in Canada and the U.S.

The Flutter-owned operator is now a non-exclusive product and marketing licensing partner of the MLB Players Association (MLBPA) thanks to a deal that granted it rights to expand its use of MLB player intellectual property and introduce player-focused features across its sportsbook platform.

The same week, it teamed up with the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) as an official sportsbook partner, as well as striking a deal to become the exclusive in-app streaming partner of the league in the U.S.

FanDuel already has partnerships in Canada with the likes of the NFL, the Canadian Football League (CFL), and Toronto Maple Leafs and Raptors owner Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE).

BetMGM names Casey Hurbis as new CMO

BetMGM has hired experienced marketing leader and former RocketMortgage executive Casey Hurbis as its new chief marketing officer.

At the U.S.’s larges retail mortgage lender, Hurbis led marketing strategies including collaborating with BetMGM’s creative agency of record, Highdive, on three top-ranked Super Bowl campaigns. Hurbis also oversaw the launch of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, now the most-awarded event on the PGA Tour.

He also previously spent a quarter of a century in automotive marketing, including leading roles for FIAT and Alfa Romeo.

At BetMGM, he will report directly to chief revenue officer Matt Prevost. He will be responsible for overarching leadership of BetMGM’s existing marketing campaigns, including existing high-profile collaborations with the likes of Connor McDavid, Chris Rock and Jamie Foxx, as well as strategizing future collaborations.

“Sports betting is one of the most competitive and rapidly evolving industries in the marketing world, and I’m honored to join BetMGM at such an exciting time in its growth,” said Hurbis. “BetMGM is a brand with incredible momentum, backed by a team that is redefining how we engage and entertain audiences. I look forward to pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation to not only attract new audiences but enhance the experience for our loyal players to even greater heights.”

“Building BetMGM from the ground up into one of the most recognizable brands in the sports betting and iGaming sphere has been an incredible accomplishment made possible by the tireless efforts of our amazing team,” added Prevost. “Bringing a visionary leader like Casey Hurbis on board adds another impactful advantage for our brand.”

Made-in-Canada brand BET99 will also enhance its player experience by leveraging PandaScore’s technology to provide bettors with access to PandaScore’s BetBuilder and micro-betting products.

NorthStar sees big value in being niche Canadian gaming player

NorthStar Gaming CEO Michael Moskowitz told investors this week that the company sees a great deal of profitability in its position as a smaller, niche operator in Canada.

NorthStar operates out of Toronto and runs separate websites, one inside Ontario to serve the regulated market with casino and sports betting offerings, and one elsewhere in Canada that is owned and operated by the Conseil des Abénakis de Wôlinak and licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.

Moskowitz told investors on the company’s earnings call this week that NorthStar is very well-positioned as a pan-Canada brand. He noted that while around 80% of the nationwide online gaming market is held down by major international brands, the 20% slice that remains is made up of a variety of more niche and local brands.

“This is still a very significant slice of the overall pie,” Moskowitz said. “It equates to approximately $1.3 billion overall. Just for perspective, if you are 3% of the overall market in Canada when it matures, that would be more than $200 million in terms of business, which is a significant increase on where we are today.”

Moskowitz has already confirmed the company intends to expand into Alberta once that market opens, which he said on the company’s earnings call this week he believes is likely to be late in 2025. NorthStar is expecting Alberta’s market value to be $1 billion, which would be the eighth-largest in North America.

He divulged that the company is seeking additional financing to fuel its planned growth in 2025, which Moskowitz hopes to detail publicly “very shortly.”

NorthStar keeps up record pace with YOY surge

Moskowitz was speaking after NorthStar Gaming reported double-digit year-over-year increases in wagers and revenue in its latest quarterly earnings release.

Wagers on the Ontario-facing Northstarbets.ca site last quarter totaled $234 million, a 69% year-over-year increase. NorthStar’s total wagering has now hit a new record mark in each of the last four quarters. Year-to-date, handle is up 54%.

Revenue, which includes managed service fees and net gaming revenue after bonuses, promotional costs and free bets, was up 45% to $6.8 million, and is up 55% YTD. Gross margin climbed 63% year-over-year to $2.7 million for the quarter, and is up 72% YTD.

“Our consistent revenue growth and improved economies of scale have enabled gross margin to fully cover overhead costs, a significant milestone in our journey toward profitability,” added Moskowitz in the release. However, the company remains at a net loss, although it has cut that down from $4.2 million this time last year to $3.1 million.

The handle, revenue and margin gains have been spurred on by several recent developments, including further funding from technology partner Playtech earlier this year and the launch of Sports Insights 2.0 last quarter. That upgraded sports content vertical complements its betting offering with comprehensive statistics, news and analysis. Moskowitz told investors it is already reaping rewards such as higher average deposits and turnover. It also provides improved casino content. NorthStar has also doubled its casino game selection since the start of 2024.

Loto-Québec’s casino gaming drives double-digit revenue and profit growth

Loto-Québec has reported double-digit yearly increases in both revenue and profits for last quarter, driven by strong performance in its casino and gaming sector.

The crown corporation published its financial figures for Q2 of the Canadian fiscal year, running from July 1 to Sept. 30. Revenues totalled $814.2 million for the quarter, an increase of 16.1% with the same period last year, boosted by a quarter that was a week longer. Net profits were up even more, rising 18.5% to $421.6 million.

The casinos and gaming halls sector saw the largest increase, with revenues up 32.2% year-over-year to $333.9 million. The crown corporation put the growth down to the resolution of the labour dispute that had disrupted its casinos in Q2 2023-24.

The lottery sector recorded revenues of $255.1 million, an increase of 11.8%. The gaming establishment sector, which encompasses VLTs in bars and restaurants as well as event betting and Kinzo and network bingo, saw revenues climb 3.3% to $231.8 million.

“Our excellent results, obtained despite the economic context, allow us to be confident about achieving our annual net profit target,” said President and CEO Jean-François Bergeron in a statement. The growth in Q2 comes after an underwhelming Q1 in which revenue and profit fell year-over-year, something Bergeron attributed to the struggles of the hospitality industry.

Bergeron intends to build more gaming halls

Through the first two quarters of the Canadian fiscal year from April 1 to Sept. 30, Loto-Québec’s total revenues are just over $1.5 billion and its net income is $771.3 million, up 6.5% and 4.7%, respectively. Revenues from casinos and gaming halls are at $608.9 million, the most of the three sectors, and on track to beat last year’s new record of $1.1 billion.

The crown corporation intends to capitalize by opening more regional gaming halls across the province, Bergeron told La Presse this week. Gaming halls offer various types of entertainment, including slot machines like the ones installed in major casinos in Montreal and other cities.

“There are 17 administrative regions in Quebec. We’re not going to put them everywhere. I don’t think we’ll go to the far north, for example, but there will be others… Several municipalities are contacting us.”

The crown corporation also recently confirmed details of a new 200-room hotel next to Casino de Montreal, which Bergeron believes will boost its standing as a leading all-in-one entertainment destination.

Loto-Québec says it has captured 60% of online market

Speaking separately to the Journal de Montreal, Bergeron also called out unregulated retail and online casinos operating in the province, asserting that “they have questionable practices, they have questionable shareholders, they have interests that are questionable and ways of doing things that are also questionable.”

Per the Journal, Bergeron said that the lottery continues to gain ground in online casino and sports betting. The crown corporation estimates that it currently holds 60% of this market, while its longer-term objective is 70%. Data from H2 Gambling Capital shown to Canadian Gaming Business suggests that Loto-Québec’s online market share across online casino, poker and bingo (but not including lottery) was more like 44% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

The crown corporation has struck numerous notable deals in the online gaming vertical in recent months, including adding Play’n GO games to its platform back in May.

More recently, this fall it launched the first cross-platform mystery jackpot using Light & Wonder’s new cross-platform technology and  became the first operator in Canada to offer Inspired Entertainment’s new Hybrid Dealer Roulette game.

Auditor General applauds OLG for keeping pace with commercial operators

The Auditor General of Ontario has found Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) to be making good progress in competing with the province’s array of commercial online casino operators.

As part of Shelley Spence’s first annual report as Auditor General that was published this week, the office followed up on a 2022 review of OLG’s operations, when it made several recommendations to ensure OLG could continue to grow after the province opened its doors to private operators in April 2022.

The new report found that as of Nov. 15, 2024, OLG has fully implemented or begun to implement 70% of the recommendations. Notably, the report stated that OLG has followed through on developing a comprehensive strategy to introduce new iGaming products amid the influx of regulated competitors.

The report noted that in a sample of three months between Feb. 1, 2024 and April 30, 2024, OLG launched 80 new games or about six new games per week, many of which “with new features to drive engagement.” In line with other 2022 recommendations, OLG also formed a new team in June 2023 to assess the potential expansion of live games and, as of June 2024, is considering whether or not to join a national network to offer these games in collaboration with other provinces.

The efforts to improve its online casino offerings appear to be paying dividends as it competes with 51 licensed commercial operators. The lottery’s full-year report, published in mid-October, posted total gross gaming revenue of $630 million, up 12% from $561 million last year even amid the saturation of competition. By combining OLG’s FY reporting with iGaming Ontario (iGO)’s $3 billion in posted GGR for the year, OLG would appear to hold down around a 21% share of Ontario’s regulated market, a figure roughly supported by H2 Gambling Capital data shown to Canadian Gaming Business.

OLG reports to the provincial Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Gaming and pays significantly more of its revenues to the province than commercial operators do, so it’s understandable why the province wants to see it keep pace with private operators.

Casinos push back on some land-based recommendations

However, OLG’s online casino, sports betting and online lottery sales make up just 13.4% of its total revenue. Retail lottery sales and land-based gaming remain by far the crown corp.’s biggest moneymakers.

The Auditor General’s report suggested that some casinos had pushed back against some of its 2022 recommendations. Notably, a call for OLG to publicly announce game payout data casino-by-casino, as well as for OLG’s iGaming site, has not been fulfilled because casinos argued “it would put them at a competitive disadvantage with online gaming and each other.”

A recommendation that OLG should include a requirement to transfer the costs of non-gaming related payments for First Nations gaming partners to casino operators also met with pushback. OLG informed the Auditor General’s office that it attempted to negotiate this for existing contracts to no avail, as casinos “wanted some form of financial value in exchange.” However, the RFP for a new operator for Casino Windsor, currently run under Caesars branding, includes a contractual commitment to share 1.7% of aggregate gross revenues with First Nations. The OLG plans to incorporate that into all new casino operator agreements.

In line with another recommendation, the report added that OLG has committed to evaluating whether operator partners should be used in the future if they fail to meet revenue and capital investment commitments outlined in their existing contracts.

Other recommendations completed or in progress cover topics such as responsible gambling, anti money laundering and reporting. OLG is waiting for iGO to launch its in-the-works centralized self-exclusion platform, which will also encompass OLG’s online gaming, before moving forward on some related recommendations.
