Las Vegas, NV - (NewMediaWire) - September 08, 2020 - Golden Matrix Group Inc. (OTC: GMGI), a developer and licenser of social gaming platforms, systems and gaming content, today reported its first quarter exceeding $1 million in revenues and its eighth consecutive quarter of profitability.

Golden Matrix revenues are derived primarily from licensing fees received from gaming operators located in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region and integrated with the company’s state-of-the-art GM-X platform. The company’s strong revenue growth in the second quarter resulted from steady increases in both the number of active operators and players. Currently there are 430 active operators and about 3.3 million registered users across all gaming operator/GM-X platforms.

According to CEO Brian Goodman, “We are pleased with the July quarter performance, particularly during these challenging times, as land-based casino operators have recognized the need to develop a stronger online presence. Our dynamic GM-X system offers thousands of games that are extremely popular with our rapidly growing user base, and we expect market share in the APAC region to increase as we launch new product offerings."

“We have recently launched into new and exciting vertical markets that are already generating additional revenue streams. And while the margins on these markets are lower than our core business margins, the revenues they generate will be exponentially higher and continue to scale, and margins are expected to increase over time.” 

Mr. Goodman noted that, over the past few months, the company has strengthened its balance sheet, expanded the board of directors, and upgraded corporate governance. “We have made great strides in preparing the company to qualify for Nasdaq, and we believe the uplisting of GMGI shares to a national exchange in coordination with our anticipated growth will have a positive impact on shareholder value."

“The gaming industry as a whole,” concluded Mr. Goodman, “is experiencing rapid growth and offers huge opportunity worldwide, aided by the continuing shift in legislation to allow online betting. GMGI’s superior end-to-end solution for online gaming operators, flexible platform with highly scalable products, unique IP, and marketing and loyalty tools have given the company a competitive advantage in its current markets; and now, supported by a strong cash position, Golden Matrix is well-positioned to enter new vertical markets globally and pursue strategic acquisitions that are accretive to earnings.”
