Bragg Gaming Q2 Revenue Falls 12 Percent to €22.9m on Netherlands Legacy Contract Roll-Off
TL;DR — Bragg Gaming posted €22.9m in Q2 revenue, down 12%, with a 14% Netherlands decline from legacy contract roll-offs. North American proprietary content grew 44% YoY while Brazil stayed flat. The firm closed the all-share Drayton deal, cut costs further, and refreshed its board with Matt Davey as incoming chairman.
SCCG Take — The emphasis on cash generation before revenue scaling signals a measured reset. North American growth offers upside, yet integration execution will determine whether the valuation gap narrows.
Bragg Gaming generated €22.9m in second-quarter revenue, a 12 per cent decline from the prior year. Revenue in the Netherlands fell 14 per cent year-on-year, reflecting the anticipated roll-off of legacy platform contracts after customer migrations. Brazil revenue stayed flat against the second quarter of 2025 as operators shifted to direct supplier integrations.
Proprietary content deployed in Canada and the United States grew 44 per cent year-on-year and 25 per cent from the first quarter of 2026. As reported by G3 Newswire, Matevž Mazij, chief executive officer of Bragg, said the company continued to execute on its strategy with a focus on profitability and disciplined cost management. “Despite lower revenue, Adjusted EBITDA remained broadly flat and Adjusted EBITDA Margin expanded, supported by continued progress in reducing our cost base.”
Since quarter end Bragg closed the Drayton transaction, satisfied entirely in shares, and announced a further workforce reduction. Integrating Drayton is the primary focus for the remainder of the year. That work is underway across content and technology and remains at an early stage.
Matt Davey, incoming non-executive chairman, said he invested in Bragg because the underlying assets are genuinely valuable. These include proprietary content growing strongly in North America, proven platform technology, and a licensed footprint across more than 30 regulated markets that took years to build and cannot be quickly replicated. Value is not yet reflected in the company’s financial results. Closing that gap requires strengthening the balance sheet, simplifying the operating model to a sustainably lower cash cost base, and then accelerating investment in product and distribution.
Donald Robertson resigned from the board effective August 13, 2026. Jordan Gnat was appointed the same date. Davey thanked Robertson for his service and welcomed Gnat, who has spent more than 30 years building and scaling businesses, most recently taking Playmaker Capital from launch to a successful exit.
Execution Focus on Lower Cost Base
The revenue pressures in the Netherlands and Brazil highlight the impact of platform migrations and direct integrations on legacy contracts. Bragg’s response centers on cost discipline and the Drayton integration to support a games-first strategy. Adjusted EBITDA holding steady despite the top-line drop demonstrates the immediate effect of these measures on margins.
Board Changes and Measurement Criteria
The addition of Davey as chairman and Gnat to the board brings operator and investor expertise aligned with shareholder interests. Progress will be measured in cash generation in the short term and revenue growth over time. The restructuring executed this year is positioned as a start rather than a destination.

Bragg is managing contraction smartly—flat EBITDA, North America up 44%—but Drayton integration will define whether the turnaround delivers value.
We track balance sheet discipline closely when suppliers reset. Bragg's North American proprietary footprint grew 44 percent while margins held—that's a credible pivot. The Drayton integration and cost base simplification will either unlock multi-market leverage or drain runway. Operators and investors need to watch execution velocity, not just the headline dip.
- Netherlands revenue down 14% YoY as legacy platform contracts roll off post-migration
- North American proprietary content up 44% YoY, 25% QoQ—real traction in regulated markets
- All-share Drayton close complete; board refresh with Matt Davey as incoming chairman
SCCG angle: SCCG works both sides here—we advise suppliers on capital efficiency and integration strategy, and we connect operators across 30-plus regulated markets to proven content partners navigating contraction intelligently. When a supplier tightens the model and doubles down on growth regions, we help monetize that pivot through the right distribution relationships.
