LAS VEGAS, NV - (NewMediaWire) - June 28, 2024 - Golden Matrix Group (NASDAQ: GMGI) (“Golden Matrix” or the “Company”), a developer and licensor of online gaming platforms, systems, and gaming content, today announced that it has been granted a sports betting and iGaming license in Peru.

This license has been issued to Meridian Gaming Peru S.A.C., a subsidiary of Meridianbet Group (“Meridianbet”), a B2B and B2C sports betting and iGaming provider licensed and operating in multiple international markets. 

The license N° 3321-2024-MINCETUR/VMT/DGJCMT was granted by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism of Peru (MINCETUR).

"We are thrilled to enter the Peruvian market, a region poised for massive growth and unprecedented expansion in the coming years,” said Zoran Milosevic, CEO of Meridianbet. ”This market entry presents an exciting opportunity to further grow our user base and deliver additional value to shareholders, underscoring our ongoing commitment to developing industry-leading brands globally." 

According to ENV Media, the total size of the online sports betting and iGaming market gaming industry in Peru is approximately USD $1.2 billion, and is expected to grow at a rate of 6.4% annually until at least 2028.  Market penetration is projected to reach 750,000 players by 2028, or slightly above 20% of the total adult population, highlighting the substantial growth potential for iGaming in the region.

Golden Matrix CEO Brian Goodman noted that this new license follows the granting of a sports betting license in South Africa just eight days ago, further solidifying GMGI’s strategic expansion into high-growth markets. “With the addition of Peru, Golden Matrix is well-positioned to capitalize on the rapidly growing online gaming sector in Latin America, delivering exceptional value and growth prospects for investors.”
