GAN

GAN is an award-winning provider of enterprise Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) solutions for online casino gaming, commonly referred to as iGaming, and online sports betting applications. Our technology platform, which we market as the GameSTACK™ internet gaming ecosystem platform (“GameSTACK”), has been deployed in both Europe and the U.S. However, we are primarily focused on enabling the U.S. casino industry’s ongoing digital transformation, which is accelerating following the repeal of a federal ban on sports betting in May 2018. Our customers rely on our software to run their online casinos and sportsbooks legally, profitably and with engaging content.

Our customer base in the U.S. includes larger regional operators as well as individual tribal casino operators. At December 31, 2019 our customers operated 53 retail casino properties, racetracks and online sportsbooks. With recent customer acquisitions, the number of retail outlets operated by our customers is now 101. Our customers outside of the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Indiana generally operate social casino or simulated gambling applications. The largest portion of our U.S. business is the real money gambling that our customers operate in the states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Based on state gaming commission data, we estimate that approximately half of all online sports wagers in the states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the two largest and fastest growing U.S. markets for online sports betting, are presently processed using our platform. Gross operator revenue generated on our technology platform increased 171.5% year-over-year in 2019 from $116.3 million in 2018 to $315.8 million.

Our GameSTACK platform and related managed services are designed to help our customers rapidly launch and scale their iGaming and online sportsbook operations. Our iGaming offerings support both social, or “freemium,” simulated online casino gaming (“simulated iGaming”) as well as real money online casino gaming (“real money iGaming”) for deployment in regulated markets. While simulated iGaming and real money iGaming are both revenue centers for our customers, simulated iGaming incorporates powerful loyalty and marketing features aimed at maximizing player engagement. We measure the level of player engagement though key performance measures including Active Daily Users, Gross Operator Revenue, and Average Revenue Per Daily Active User, which we track for both simulated iGaming and real money iGaming operations.

GameSTACK forms the technical hub of our customers’ online gaming presence. The platform provides the foundational technology and back-office tools necessary for a successful consumer experience, including intuitive player account activation, sophisticated payment services, geolocation, marketing, loyalty management and real-time analytics and reporting. GameSTACK further relies on a flexible integration services layer in order to integrate easily with other essential third-party systems such as casino management systems and sports betting engines.

The core of the GameSTACK platform is its player account management system, in which highly sensitive customer and player activity data is stored and processed. This is the layer of any casino operator’s online technology deployment that becomes the focal point of regulatory licensure since it is the kernel of player data and privacy. Because we are the trusted custodian of player transactional data, we have direct visibility into wagering activity. We deploy proprietary models to help our customers predict and identify, over time, their highest-value players. Our customers rely on our data models to best direct their retention marketing investments towards specific customer profiles, thereby optimizing player loyalty and therefore player value.

Our ability to submit expeditiously to individual U.S. state gaming licensure has been a vital contributor to our success in the U.S. market. Between May 2018 and December 2019, 18 U.S. states legalized some form of sports betting, each with unique regulatory and licensure requirements. By rapidly obtaining regulatory licenses to operate GameSTACK, we enable our customers to deploy iGaming and online sportsbook offerings to their customers quickly, capturing valuable early-mover advantages in their relevant markets. We are presently licensed to operate our real money iGaming platform in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Indiana, and will pursue licensure in additional states in 2020 and beyond.
