Expansion in US market

Betsson invests in a strategic venture with TG Lab aimed at North America

Betsson Perch Investments, a subsidiary of Betsson, has acquired 35% of the shares in Strive Platform for US$ 6.5 million. Upon launch in the US, planned for the second half of 2021, Betsson has an option to increase its shareholding by another 5% for the consideration of US$ 1 million. Betsson will also grant to the firm a convertible shareholder loan facility of US$ 2.5 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2020 report Betsson announced an agreement with TG Lab, a leading international iGaming technology and development company. Through the agreement Betsson is able to utilise the company’s new, purpose built and modern US iGaming platform, i.e. Player Account Management system (PAM) to support Betsson's launch on the US market.

TG Lab has since then created Strive, a North American specific entity encompassing this new technology, intellectual property rights and market leading expertise, in which Betsson now invests.

Betsson’s sportsbook will be the first to be integrated with the Strive PAM creating an appealing choice for the US market. Thus, the investment complements Betsson’s standalone sportsbook offer and broadens the customer offering.

"This investment is another important milestone in our US entry. The investment will support our B2C launch with the Betsafe brand in Colorado as well as broaden Betsson’s offering to the US market,” comments Pontus Lindwall, CEO of Betsson.

The US market has a limited number of PAMs and sportsbooks that are truly set up for the multi-state regulatory environment and scale. This investment brings together two high quality independent iGaming technologies for the US market”, adds Lindwall.
