EEG lauds enlarged portfolio performance to lay its Nasdaq foundations

Publishing its Q3 trading update (period ending 31 March), EEG recorded corporate net revenues of $5.4 million, up 129% ($3m) on its Q2 2021 results of $2.4 million.
Revenue growth was primarily attributed to EGG’s enlarged igaming portfolio, which saw the company complete its $30 million acquisition of online casino Lucky Dino during the Q3 period
Lucky Dino joins the sportsbook assets of SportNation.com and Vie.bet, the EGG brands which both secured individual Malta MGA licences during the quarter.

Citing continued investment in the ‘building out’ of its technology team and platform resources, EEG would register Q3 operating expenses of $6.3 million.
As a result of expansion costs, EEG declared a Q3 operating loss of $5.6 million, following on from the $600,000 loss reported during the last quarter.
Updating investors, EEG stated that it had strengthened all core verticals of its business, in which the company had further completed its acquisition of esports B2B live tournament organiser Esports Gaming League (EGL).
In addition, EEG strengthened its North American prospects, securing exclusive esports partnerships with several pro-Sports teams, including the Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots and Denver Broncos.
