Summary
Gaming Realms has issued a trading update for the first half of its 2025 financial year, forecasting an 18% year-on-year rise in revenue to £16 million for the six months to 30 June (compared with £13.6m in the same period last year). Adjusted EBITDA is expected to reach £7.5 million, approximately 30% higher than the prior year.
The company cites continued growth in its licensing business and international expansion as key drivers, along with the launch of six new Slingo titles and 19 new distribution partners in H1. Management says these results are in line with guidance and expects the momentum to continue through H2. Full H1 results will be published in the week commencing 22 September.
The update follows a mixed 2024 for Gaming Realms, and the firm noted the potential impact of new UK online slot stake limits introduced on 21 May — the full effect of which is still to be determined.
