Groes commented: “It’s been more than a year of the company breaking records and hitting new highs, and this quarter has been the best yet.
“It’s mind-blowing how far we’ve come and how much progress continues to be made across the entire business. From casino, sports and platform that are all showing extremely positive signs of sustained growth and expansion, to our affiliate, payments and live casino divisions that are pushing the boundaries of technology and paving the way for future success, we’re in a fantastic position for the remainder of 2024 and beyond.
“Watch this space as there is plenty more to come from EveryMatrix this year.”
