Acroud Acquires 60% of Affiliation and Media Company
Acroud AB has entered into a purchase agreement to acquire 60% shares in an Affiliation and Media company for a total consideration of approximately GBP 5.1 million. The acquisition comprises affiliation assets and technology within the iGaming Market and is expected to contribute over EUR 9 million to the Company’s revenues and over EUR 4 million to the Company’s EBITDA annually.
The deal will support Acroud’s expansion into the Sports Betting space, adding significant recurring (Revenue Share) sportsbook revenue from some of the world’s most prominent Sports Book providers. The Transaction is expected to contribute over EUR 9 million to the total Group revenue, of which 80-85% coming from Revenue Share deals. Additionally, the Transaction will guarantee the delivery of a high number of NDCs (New Depositing Customers), expecting to more than double the Group’s current NDC intake numbers.
The Transaction aligns with Acroud’s strategic agenda of creating a lower volatility profile with more stable revenue generation and profitability. It will further solidify the Company’s efforts to develop a low-risk, high-growth business as the acquired assets leverage IMBC (Intelligent Media Buying Capabilities) rather than being dependent on SEO algorithms.
“This acquisition is another piece of our puzzle to establish Acroud as a diverse player in the Advertisement and Affiliation space based on intelligent solutions. It will blend very well into our existing product portfolio, and with the new bond in place, the Company is entering a new period of growth,” Robert Andersson, CEO and President of Acroud, said.
The purchase will see the Company investing GBP 1 million in shares and GBP4.1 million in cash, payable over the course of 18 months. The cash payment is expected to be financed via Acroud’s existing cash and future operational cash inflow. Acroud also has a call option to acquire the remaining 40% of the business in 2028. The call option is based on financial performance for 12 months ending 30 September 2028 with an EBITDA multiple of 5.5x. If the call option is exercised, the acquisition will be settled in cash from existing reserves (40%) and via own shares (60%).

Increase Redirect Speed by 5 Times with Affilka New Feature
SOFTSWISS, a global tech company with over 15 years of experience in iGaming, introduces a new Geo-Distributed Redirect feature of Affilka by SOFTSWISS that helps operators improve engagement and conversion rates by reducing user redirect times.
The Geo-Distributed Redirect feature intelligently routes users to destination landing pages via regional clusters closest to their location. This geo-optimised infrastructure minimises redirect times, increasing successful website visits from referral links. The feature is designed for seamless scalability across multiple regions and enhances performance globally, wherever needed.
With the new feature, Affilka by SOFTSWISS reduced redirect duration by 2.5 to 5 times. At one of the regions, for example, extensive simulated tests showed a decrease in redirect times for users from 1.5 seconds to 300-500 milliseconds – this is one of the fastest responses available in the market. As a result, the feature implementation leads to a 3.5% to 7% growth in users successfully reaching casino sites. This increase in site traffic, in turn, directly contributes to more registrations and deposits.
The Geo-Distributed Redirect feature boosts conversions, accelerates redirects, enhances fault tolerance and high availability, and improves service reliability for users globally. Even during unexpected challenges, the system dynamically reroutes traffic to alternative resources, ensuring a seamless experience.
Gleb Bichan, Product Lead at Affilka by SOFTSWISS, shares his excitement: “With the launch of our Geo-Distributed Redirect feature, we are addressing the needs of clients targeting users worldwide. By reducing redirection times and increasing reliability, we enable our partners to deliver a superior user experience that drives traffic delivery and conversions.
