GAN Reports Q2 2019 Key Performance Indicators Highlighted by 128% Growth in Gross Operator Revenue
London & Dublin - August 1, 2019: GAN plc ("GAN" or the "Company"), an award-winning developer and supplier of enterprise-level B2B Internet gambling software, services and online gaming content in the United States, today announced the release of quarterly key performance indicators for the second quarter of 2019, highlighting continued YoY growth reflecting high demand for Internet sports betting and casino cross-selling from Internet sports bettors into internet casino gaming in New Jersey.
Management Commentary
Dermot Smurfit, CEO of GAN commented:
"The extraordinary year on year growth rate experienced in Q2 reinforces our confidence in the U.S. strategy executed on by GAN following the repeal of PASPA, as well as our Platform technology's ability to scale to meet the needs of our diverse clients.
The rapid rate at which States continued to legalize Internet gambling in Q2 continues to validate our confidence in the U.S. market opportunity and the seasonality in Q2 was both anticipated and exaggerated by U.S. Internet sports betting.
A dedicated Head of Investor Relations Mr. Jack Wielebinski, has been appointed to lead our U.S. investor relations efforts as well the implementation of an all-new GAN.com website before year's end which will include substantial content and features designed both to serve existing investors and better-inform prospective investors on GAN's exciting equity story, products and services."
