Online Gaming — A Sure Bet
NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Every gambler is on the lookout for a lock, but as every gambler knows, the only sure way to double your money is to fold it over and tuck it in your pocket. Humanity’s penchant for gambling traces back to state-run lottos in 200 BC China to the first U.S. online lotto in 1994 and now proliferates across the globe on PCs and mobile devices. Transacted through internet platforms, online gaming (or internet gambling) offers inventive games of chance as well as virtual poker and sports betting. The online gaming market is booming, eclipsing $70 billion last year, and all manner of casinos and upstart platforms are scrambling for a piece of the action. As lucrative as this all sounds there’s an Achilles heel for these platforms: customer acquisition cost vs. customer lifetime value. In the United States, the customer acquisition cost for an online casino player is more than $500, and some estimate player value at $300 or less. The math simply doesn’t work, and some online casino operators have come to realize that traditional advertising for sports betting and iGaming products presents an irrational cost of customer acquisition. With the online gaming market expected to explode to more than $130 billion in the next five years, there may be a smarter way to cash in on the action. Much like the merchants that made millions during the gold boom while prospectors panned for dreams, providing B2B services such as online gaming platforms, systems and gaming content has proved to be a winning business model. Coming off its 14th consecutive quarter of profitability, Golden Matrix Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GMGI) (Profile) continues to carve out enviable market share by delivering state-of-the-art configurable and scalable white-label B2B gaming platforms for its customers across the globe. Golden Matrix’s gaming IP includes sophisticated tools for marketing, acquisition, retention and monetization of users — exactly what iGaming operators need. With more than 580 unique casino operations, 30-plus partnerships, 6 million-plus end users and 3,161 original games, Golden Matrix has established itself as one of the world’s leading providers of turnkey and white-label gaming platforms, Esports technology and gaming content, and the company has even bigger plans for market dominion. All the major casino operators, including Caesars Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ: CZR), Penn National Gaming Inc. (NASDAQ: PENN), MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) and Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS) are trying to entice users to download their apps as they fight for a piece of the online action and struggle with customer acquisition costs.
Global online gambling market reached $72.3 billion in 2021 and is expected to exceed $131 billion by 2027 with a CAGR of nearly 10%.
Coming off 14 consecutive quarters of profitability, Golden Matrix Group just uplisted to NASDAQ.
Primarily in Asia, GMGI has an aggressive international growth strategy including its recent purchase of RKings, one of the UK’s leading independent online competition companies.
Golden Matrix’s platforms are completely scalable with an operating cost similar for 100 or 1 million players.
Online Gaming Boom
Brick-and-mortar casinos amp up excitement with bars, restaurants and live music, and if playing online, excitement accelerates with a shower of loyalty points. Winning might not be guaranteed, but the entertainment and excitement entice clients to come back. Now the excitement has reached a fever pitch. According to IMARC Group, the global online gambling market reached $72.3 billion in 2021 with projections to reach $ 131.4 billion by 2027, with a CAGR of 9.96% during 2022–2027.
Strong structural forces are expected to carry the market well beyond the pandemic surge, which introduced millions of new players to online gaming. IMARC cites rapid urbanization along with increased global penetration of the internet for the growth. Legalization, technological advancements, high-profile sponsorships and cultural acceptance of online betting are all boosting market growth. Other factors such as easy use of mobile phones and the advent of Bitcoin gambling are expected to further drive the market.

GMGI’s cutting-edge gaming IP includes all the sought-after tools operators need for customer acquisition, retention, marketing, and monetization of users.

Market Dominance
Golden Matrix has partnered with some of the largest and most expansive iGaming operators in the Pacific Rim, and the company has designs on numerous other global venues. GMGI’s current 30-plus gaming partners dominate the Asia’s online gaming market, seamlessly delivering innovative games and premium brand titles. Not satisfied, Golden Matrix is on a mission for global dominion.
With a European gaming license secured, Golden Matrix announced in December a purchase agreement to acquire an 80% controlling ownership interest in UK-based RKings Competitions Ltd., one of Ireland’s and the UK’s leading independent online competition companies. RKings is a well-established, business-to-consumer skilled tournament company with revenues that exceeded $29 million and annual net income of more than $2.4 million during the fiscal year ending Oct. 31, 2021. Synergistic with the GMGI’s B2B business, the accretive acquisition has already provided significant revenue contributions, and Golden Matrix is actively expanding its reach.
In March, Golden Matrix announced it had applied for a Mexican gaming license and, once approved, plans to offer iGaming in Mexico and launch the RKings tournament platform in the country. This opens compelling new opportunities in the vast Latin America B2C market, and it will begin the expansion of the RKings tournament platform to regions outside of the United Kingdom. Golden Matrix is confident that, in addition to casino games and sports book betting, RKings will be received enthusiastically, generate significant revenues, and boost overall profitability. GMGI also intends to expand into the United States, specifically New Jersey. The company has big plans for a new U.S. operation and is creating a platform for esports gamers to wager bets against other players.
To facilitate and enhance global growth and visibility, Golden Matrix also recently uplisted to NASDAQ. As CEO Brian Goodman stated, “Uplisting our common stock to Nasdaq is extremely important to Golden Matrix, at a time when we are expanding rapidly and entering into new global markets. We expect the uplisting to significantly improve the company’s visibility, broaden our base of both retail and institutional stakeholders, and lead to enhanced long-term shareholder value. Additionally, we believe this uplisting will further strengthen our ability to execute on the company’s acquisition strategy with the goal of accelerating both revenue and profit growth going forward.”
Given the company’s impressive track record to date, it certainly appears that global dominion is the goal and is within reach. Golden Matrix understands that luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
