Year in Review



As we step into the new year, we’re taking a moment to look back on all the amazing things our team achieved together in 2023.

It’s been a fantastic year, and we’re truly proud of what we’ve accomplished. The Bragg team took big steps forward by releasing exciting new games, entering new markets, gaining additional licenses, forging new partnerships, and continued to drive innovation with our cutting-edge software solutions and services.

We’re excited about the upcoming chapter of growth and ready to make a positive impact across the industry. Scroll down for an overview of our favorite 2023 achievements!

Our team and a year full of growth

Our team has experienced remarkable growth in the past year, expanding by an impressive 15%. Our global collective now comprises 460 talented individuals, with Bragg offices in Toronto, Las Vegas, Reno, London, Ljubljana, Malta and Chennai.

Following the team's growth, we focused on aligning all team members toward common goals and ensuring a cohesive approach as we continue to thrive in the iGaming sector. We implemented a comprehensive performance management system and launched a Leadership Academy aimed at nurturing the skills and expertise of our managers.

As always, we've had a lot of fun at our all-hands events, during one of which we were excited to announce Bragg's new company values. We introduced our "Values Bragg Stars" to celebrate employees who exemplify these ideals, recognizing and honoring individuals who best embody our core principles. In the summer, Bragg also welcomed back Matevž Mazij, who assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer.

Our Las Vegas team marked a significant milestone by moving into new offices and celebrated with a grand opening at the heart of Bragg Studios’ home. Soon after, the Las Vegas office hosted highly productive workshops, bringing together Bragg teams from across the globe.

Meanwhile, Bragg Ljubljana also hosted a successful event for board members, partners and executives from our international offices, facilitating insightful sessions and debates as we reflected on a successful year and envisioned future achievements.

We kept innovating and improving

Turnkey Solution

We were super proud to win Technology Provider/Supplier of the Year at the iGA 2023 for the second consecutive year!

With excellent operational results, Bragg continues to prove itself as a leading turnkey solution in the Netherlands, Croatia, the Czech Republic and other jurisdictions.

In 2023, Bragg integrated six new payment methods for Ontario and the Netherlands and also started offering instant withdrawals in the Netherlands, providing Bragg PAM customers with a strong competitive advantage. PAM product rolled out new front-end services for better performance and enabled our clients to build their own front-end solutions. This resulted in Bragg PAM clients launching their own IOS applications.

We remain firmly committed to developing our industry-leading Responsible Gaming solution, which allows early identification, detection, and on-demand intervention for at-risk behavior using an AI-based automated system to combat the risk of gambling addiction. Bragg has now four Dutch RG integrations covering approximately a third of the market cap.

Fuze™ Player Engagement

Bragg’s Fuze™ was lighting it up again, this time by winning Industry Innovation of the Year at the SBC Awards North America 2023! An impressive testament to the product's effectiveness is also a steady increase in wagering utilizing our tools, surging to 1.2 billion EUR.

Fuze™ now includes support for four major sportsbook providers, a newly launched Quests tool for the sportsbook vertical, and a range of innovative new features such as Bet details, Duplicate bets and Limited stake and bets.

Bragg also enriched the Fuze™ toolset for the Casino vertical - which already offered Tournaments with real-time Leaderboards, Quests, Free Rounds, Promo Push in-game Notifications and a Recommendation Engine - to add a range of innovative features. Game-based leaderboards were developed, a feature that enables players to collect scatters, wilds and free round triggers. Blitz!, a short tournament format where players try to reach the highest score with limited time and spins, now additionally supports a new configuration option that allows players to keep the best score from their multiple attempts.

Casino Content

We kicked the New Year off right by going live with popular online casino game titles distributed exclusively by Bragg in Italy, Europe’s second-largest online gaming market, with the country’s leading local operator, Microgame.

Expanding our global reach, Bragg partnered with Betsson Group in Europe and entered the Mexican market through the market’s leading provider, Caliente Interactive. We also established partnerships with esteemed brands such as Pokerstars and bet365, as well as many others.

In the past year, Bragg's RGS wagering has experienced a remarkable growth of over 35%, while our proprietary content has surged by an impressive 130% within the same timeframe. Bragg Gaming now totals 18 exclusive or title-exclusive studios. This, partnered with 70+ providers on the Bragg HUB, makes us a content force to be reckoned with, or better said, partnered with.

Throughout late 2022 and 2023, Bragg launched over 40 titles in the North American market. Now, players in the USA and Ontario can enjoy some of their favorite land-based games in online casinos.

Our in-house studio Atomic Slot Lab thrived, with "Cai Fu - Emperor's Ways" becoming the highest-performing game on Bragg’s RGS in 2023. It has generated more than triple the wagering and players of the Bragg average game release. Indigo Magic also delivered 12 titles, with Christmas games "Down the Chimney" and "Treat Yo Elf" dominating the charts. We released the first Wild Streak Gaming-branded game “Congo Cash” exclusively for the US market on the Bragg RGS. This comes from a decision to offer a selection of games under the Wild Streak Gaming name exclusively via the Bragg RGS to US players going forward.

And forming new partnerships

Bragg PAM

Bragg’s platform now powers an impressive ~30% of the Dutch online gambling GGR. We were also delighted to contribute to the successful launch of the new BetCity.nl app on iOS and Android in partnership with Kambi and Shape Games on the Bragg platform.

Bragg HUB

In 2023, we were proud to launch 51 new operators and 134 new brands, and add 10 new game providers to our portfolio. We also established partnerships with esteemed brands such as Pokerstars, FanDuel, Lottomatica, Pasino.ch, Microgame Italy, DraftKings, BetMGM, Unibet, bet365 Ontario, Swiss Casinos, Superbet Brazil and many others.

Beyond the bottom line: shaping a better tomorrow

This last year was all about making a positive impact beyond business. As holders of the Socially Responsible Employer certificate for our Slovenian companies, we focus on community welfare as well as on ethical, sustainable and responsible action towards the environment and society as a whole.

At the beginning of the year, a couple of our Braggsters laced up their sneakers and organized a running group to participate in the Wings for Life World Run, which collectively raised an impressive 5.8 million EUR for spinal cord research.

Later in the year, Slovenia faced unprecedented challenges when the country was hit by severe flooding. While we are grateful that our colleagues in Slovenia were safe, we recognize the profound impact on many others in the community. In solidarity with our Slovenian team members and their families, we stood united, urging our Braggers in Slovenia to take the time they need to participate in the cleanup efforts or to support their families, neighbors, and communities. As a company, we've also contributed to the Slovenian Red Cross, a crucial player in the ongoing emergency response. Together, we navigated these challenges and remain committed to supporting one another through thick and thin.

We finished the year on a much lighter note. Of all sports, Braggsters are the most passionate about basketball, so we were proud to support the basketball club KK Ilirija as a sponsor throughout 2023. Recently, they helped us organize our own tournament at Stožice Arena, the most prominent basketball venue in Slovenia and the home of the Slovenian national team. Thirty-two players competed in 3x3 games with many twists and turns, and the event was full of surprises and treats, such as presents for everyone and a visit from the legendary coach Saša Dončić.

Thanks to everyone, the past year was truly memorable and marked by significant strides towards the future. Let’s make the next year just as successful!
