January 6, 2020

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 indicators1 for the fourth quarter of 2019, highlighting continued YoY growth reflecting high demand for Internet sports betting and Internet casino gaming in both New Jersey and the State of Pennsylvania together with high demand in Indiana for Internet sports betting (launched during the quarter).

Management Commentary

Dermot Smurfit, CEO of GAN commented:

“Continued year on year growth rate experienced in Q4 demonstrates our Platform technology’s ability to scale successfully for our diverse clients of real money U.S. Internet gambling, Simulated Gaming as well as our long-standing Italian clients. The fourth quarter benefitted from strong seasonal demand during the American Football NFL season; cross-selling of U.S. sports bettors to Internet casino gaming in the States of New Jersey and Pennsylvania; and the launch of Internet sports betting in the State of Indiana.”
