The merged entity will retain the name <strong>Allwyn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allwyn already owns <strong>51.78% of OPAP\u2019s shares<\/strong> and will remain the majority shareholder in the new company, holding <strong>a 78.5% stake<\/strong>. The remaining <strong>21.5%<\/strong> will go to OPAP\u2019s other shareholders (excluding Allwyn). The <strong>KKCG Group<\/strong> will control <strong>85% of the voting rights<\/strong> after the merger. KKCG previously held <strong>95% of Allwyn<\/strong> and led the initial investment in OPAP. Its founder, <strong>Karel Komarek<\/strong>, will serve as chairman of the board at both KKCG and Allwyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The merged company will initially remain <strong>listed on the Main Market of the Athens Stock Exchange<\/strong>, but Allwyn plans to seek an additional international listing &#8211; most likely <strong>in London or New York<\/strong> &#8211; once the deal is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allwyn described the merger as a <strong>\u201cmajor milestone\u201d<\/strong> for both firms, emphasizing that the combination creates <strong>the world\u2019s second largest publicly listed gaming entertainment company<\/strong>. The company views this step as a foundation for further growth across <strong>Europe, the United States, and other regions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s announcement redefines the sector, signalling the creation of the second largest listed gaming entertainment company globally,\u201d said Komarek. \u201cFor investors, this is a unique opportunity to be part of a dynamic company that is shaping the future of entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe combined strength and scale of these multi-billion dollar businesses, massive customer base and Allwyn\u2019s continued investment in technology and content, will accelerate innovation and fuel significant international growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re on a mission to build the world\u2019s leading global gaming entertainment company, and today\u2019s transaction takes us one step closer to that goal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new company\u2019s total valuation stands at <strong>\u20ac16 billion<\/strong>, reflecting Allwyn\u2019s global scale and OPAP\u2019s dominant position in Greece. OPAP is the country\u2019s leading <strong>sports betting brand<\/strong> and <strong>operator of the National Lottery<\/strong>. It is worth noting that a <strong>new lottery license<\/strong> is soon to go to tender, with <strong>OPAP and Brightstar<\/strong> among the main contenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <strong>first half of 2025<\/strong>, Allwyn\u2019s <strong>revenue grew by 6%<\/strong>, from <strong>\u20ac4.25 billion<\/strong> in H1 2024 to <strong>\u20ac4.5 billion<\/strong>, while <strong>EBITDA increased by 4%<\/strong>, from <strong>\u20ac698 million to \u20ac728 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The combined company\u2019s balance sheet makes it the <strong>second-largest publicly listed gaming firm in the world<\/strong> after <strong>Flutter Entertainment<\/strong>, and the <strong>largest publicly listed lottery company<\/strong> globally. Allwyn\u2019s portfolio includes <strong>national lottery contracts<\/strong> in the <strong>UK, Czech Republic, Austria, Greece<\/strong>, and the <strong>Illinois Lottery<\/strong> in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allwyn and OPAP forecast <strong>rapid growth<\/strong>, noting that the combined <strong>pro forma EBITDA<\/strong> for the 12 months ending <strong>June 30, 2025<\/strong>, amounted to <strong>\u20ac1.9 billion<\/strong>, with a <strong>double-digit EBITDA CAGR<\/strong> expected for <strong>2024\u20132026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jan Karas,<\/strong> OPAP CEO, said: \u201cThis exciting combination creates a leading gaming company with strong Greek heritage, as well as a continued presence and listing in Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m excited about the opportunity for OPAP to deepen our strong existing relationship with Allwyn, driving innovation and additional growth opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The merger will give OPAP access to <strong>significantly greater financial resources<\/strong> from Allwyn, as well as its <strong>technological and marketing capabilities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the deal cements Allwyn\u2019s position as a <strong>key player in the Greek betting market<\/strong>. The company already holds a <strong>stake in Kaizen Gaming<\/strong> (operator of <strong>Betano<\/strong>) and is <strong>close to securing a controlling share in Novibet<\/strong> \u2014 a development that may draw the attention of competition regulators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now valued at <strong>\u20ac16 billion<\/strong>, Allwyn intends to advance its strategy of becoming a <strong>\u201clottery-led entertainment group\u201d<\/strong>with a strong presence in <strong>sports betting<\/strong> and related segments of the gaming industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its involvement in Greek betting firms confirms this direction, though <strong>Allwyn\u2019s most notable expansion efforts are taking place in the US<\/strong>. The sharp rise in valuation following the OPAP merger may make a <strong>US IPO<\/strong> a more realistic prospect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deal follows Allwyn\u2019s <strong>September acquisition of PrizePicks<\/strong>, one of the <strong>largest Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) operators<\/strong> in the US, for <strong>$1.6 billion<\/strong>. The acquired company is entering the <strong>sports predictions market<\/strong>, though analysts have noted potential risks linked to the <strong>current regulatory environment<\/strong> surrounding such platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think in the DFS space they\u2019re pretty safe, it\u2019s the predictions market piece that to me is the uncertainty,\u201d said SBC\u2019s Managing Editor, <strong>Jess Wellman,<\/strong> on the <strong>iGaming Daily<\/strong> podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAre you going to jeopardise your DFS market position in regulated states? Is this going to be something that is long term, something that is viable? Or is it a two or three year fad that is going to get killed in the courts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI nonetheless think it\u2019s a smart acquisition because the tech is there. They know how to appeal to players, and even if the play is not sports betting related you\u2019ve still got a major and well-recognised company in the US that\u2019s going to make an IPO for you even more lucrative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding leadership, things will remain more or less as they are. The new group will continue to be chaired by Komarek, while <strong>Robert Chvatal<\/strong> and <strong>Kenneth Morton<\/strong> will continue as CEO and CFO of Allwyn in its enlarged form, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jan Karas,<\/strong> meanwhile, will continue to lead OPAP in Greece and Cyprus as CEO, alongside <strong>Pavel Mucha<\/strong> as CFO. It seems then that OPAP may be forming the basis for Allwyn\u2019s regional operations there, with Greece in particular, as noted above, a key market for the firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis transaction marks a further milestone in Allwyn\u2019s successful journey,\u201d Chvatal said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSince being founded 13 years ago, we have grown substantially in terms of business performance, scale and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith this combination, we will be able to grow further, faster as we deploy Group-wide know-how, a unified brand and sponsorship strategy, and in-house technology and content.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/sbceurasia\">Telegram channel<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The boards of directors of the international lottery company Allwyn and the Greek gaming and lottery holding OPAP have approved a merger between the two companies.
