Affiliates

Raketech has delivered on an important milestone on the company’s strategy by announcing its acquisition of the US based organic affiliation marketing assets americangambler.com.

As a result of the acquisition, Raketech’s revenues within the US are expected to reach approximately 5-10 percent of the group’s total revenues, already in Q4 of this year.

The agreed purchase price for American Gambler amounts to EUR 5m, representing a multiple of approximately 3.9x EBITDA and 3.5x revenues, based on current run rate. Complementing American Gambler is furthermore several local state assets which Raketech – in order to maximize the potential of the fast growing US market and thereby accelerate growth further – intends to increase investments into.

Oskar Mühlbach, CEO of Raketech said: “The acquisition of American Gambler is an important strategic move for us, shifting the US from a strategic target to a strategic market. And by expanding the American Gambler’s service offering to more and more states with the support from our strong core operations team and technology platform, I foresee great opportunities for growth.”

Alexander Kostin, Founder of American Gambler said: “To join forces with a larger professional player with a proven track record is the best choice for American Gambler, an already strong product on the US market. With this partnership American Gambler have secured both financial muscles and a strong infrastructure in order to become one of the leading brands on the US market. I am happy that Raketech identified the potential in American Gambler and gave a helping hand to realize its full potential for years to come.”
