Jun 14: Entain goes Dutch with BetCity buyout
Jun 14: Entain goes Dutch with BetCity buyoutEntain buys BetCity, PointsBet Australia bid, Penn insider trading +MoreGood morning. On today’s agenda:
In the city. Click here: Entain BetCity acquisition
Bright lights, big city: Having exited the Netherlands when the market regulated last October, Entain has bought its way back in via a €300m cash upfront deal with a two-year earnout that could take the buyout price up to €550m. The deal will be paid from Entain’s existing cash and bank facilities and will complete in H2.
The wait goes on: Entain said BetCity would be complementary to its Bwin and Party brands which are both yet to receive licenses from the Dutch authorities. Entain said the licenses would now be in the “latter part” of 2023 as the KSA has recently requested additional documentation. Dutch bun fight: A question for Entain/Big City is how much of that 20% it will hold on to now that Kindred’s Unibet has recently relaunched having been granted a license on June 7. Fellow market absentee Betsson is also awaiting news on its license application. Quick buck: Noting BetCity has only been in existence since October, Regulus said the sale was “one of the most rapid returns on effort seen in the sector” and demonstrates the disruption caused by the October grey market shutdown.

SkyCity guidance update
Local strength: The company said trading its local gaming businesses had been “stronger than expected” following the relaxation of COVID-19 operating restrictions. It will publish its FY results on 30 June.
Brazil betting regulations in doubtWorld Cup doubt: The launch of regulated sports-betting in Brazil in time for the Qatar World Cup in November has been thrown into doubt after President Jair Bolsonaro’s refusal to approve the new betting regulations until after the general elections in October.
Presidential face-off: According to Brazilian media, Bolsonaro has been advised to delay signing off on the regulations to secure the evangelical vote in Congress. The country’s general elections are set for 2 October, Bolsonaro is set to face former President and leader of the Workers’ Party Luiz Inácio ‘Lula’ da Silva. NewslinesGAN has extended its share buyback program and can repurchase up to $5m worth of its ordinary shares. The program, which expires on Nov 30, will be carried out with cash from operations and on the balance sheet. Bragg Gaming has appointed Yaniv Sherman as its new CEO.
