Aspire set out to offer tailored solutions for its partners, with an iGaming platform that is both flexible and easily scalable, which suits fast-growing companies. On the other hand, they have the facilities to provide bigger companies with managed services (which they can fully opt-in to).
In 2019, Aspire purchased Pariplay, a leading game aggregator for $13.46m. This provided the company with a whole new array of game studios, producers and leading game titles. The acquisition allowed Aspire to broaden its game portfolio and provide a distribution channel for proprietary games outside its network.
Aspire Global has seen a great deal of recent success – in 2020, it increased its revenue by 23.2% to $161.9m with an EBITDA margin of 16.7%. The company also secured a number of deals with tier 1 operators and added a proprietary sportsbook to its offering with the acquisition BtoBet.
The company now maintains a strong focus on regulated markets, particularly in Northern Europe.
