NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage
NEW YORK, May 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Luck is a huge aspect of gambling, but luck has a way of favoring the intelligent and showing its back to the foolish. Good online gamblers look for opportunities to improve their odds, then press when probabilities are in their favor. Luck is a fickle mistress and good gamblers know that luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. The seduction of gambling dates as early as 200 BC and now flourishes on PCs and mobile devices around the world. Eclipsing $70 billion last year, major casinos and new gaming platforms are fighting for a piece of the action. The market is booming, but there's a serious drawback for these platforms. Customer acquisition cost for an online casino in the United States is more than $500 ,and some estimates peg player value at $300 or less. That's not a winning formula, and many online casino operators now realize that traditional advertising for sports betting and iGaming products presents an irrational cost of customer acquisition. With the online gaming market expected to balloon to more than $130 billion in the next five years, there may be a smarter way to cash in on the action. 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) is capturing enviable market share 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 platform operators need to achieve profitability. Golden Matrix has established itself as one of the world's leading providers of turnkey and white label gaming platforms, gaming content, and Esports technology. Others in the sector, such as DraftKings Inc. (NASDAQ: DKNG), International Game Technology (NYSE: IGT), Bragg Gaming Group Inc. (NASDAQ: BRAG) and GAN Limited (NASDAQ: GAN), are also working to expand into new markets and increase shareholder equity.
· 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 Inc. just uplisted to NASDAQ.
· GMGI has an aggressive international growth strategy, including its recent 80% interest in RKings, one of the UK's leading independent online competition companies.

Online Gaming Tsunami
The flood of online gaming action was only amplified by new players during the global pandemic. According to IMARC Group, the global online gambling market reached $72.3 billion in 2021, and the market is expected 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. Legalization, technological advancements, high-profile sponsorships, and cultural acceptance of online betting are all boosting market growth. Easy use of mobile devices and bitcoin gambling are expected to drive the market further.

Expanding Market Share
Golden Matrix is 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+ gaming partners dominate 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 (B2C) 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. This opens compelling new opportunities in the vast Latin America B2C market, and the strategic move will begin the expansion of the RKings tournament platform to regions outside of the UK. Golden Matrix is confident that, in addition to casino games and sportsbook 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 enhance global growth and visibility, Golden Matrix 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."
With GMGI's impressive track record thus far, it appears a safe bet that GMGI can achieve global growth while maintaining margins and profitability. Golden Matrix understands how to win with online gambling.
