Catena Media buys affiliate site BonusSeeker.com

Catena Media further strengthens its position as the leading iGaming affiliate in the regulated New Jersey market through the acquisition of BonusSeeker.com and related assets.  

 

BonusSeeker, which is on a strong growth trajectory, provides its users with unbiased comprehensive reviews of all the legal casino operators in New Jersey. The acquired assets currently generates quarterly sales of about USD 450.000 per quarter with an operating margin of approximately 70%.

”Through the acquisition of these assets we confirm our position as the number one player in igaming lead generation in the US. This is completely in line with our growth strategy and is a big step in furthering our lead to our European & American competitors. Furthermore it is a strong signal to the industry that we are picking up pace in the US market”, says Henrik Persson Ekdahl, Acting CEO of Catena Media.

The initial purchase price, payable in conjunction with the transfer of the assets, amounts to an upfront payment of USD 6.5 million of which USD 1.0 million will be paid with newly issued shares at prevailing market rate in Catena Media and the remainder in cash. In addition, there is an earn-out of maximum USD 9.5 million which is based on revenue performance over a period of two years.

The shares will be issued at a subscription price of SEK 128,21 per share, corresponding to the volume-weighted average price for Catena Media’s shares on Nasdaq Stockholm during a period of 30 trading days up to and including March 27, 2018. This means that a total of 63 904 shares will be issued, corresponding to approximately 0.1 percent of the shares and votes in the company. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the shares will be subject to a lock-up period of 12 months as from the closing date of the transaction. The rest of the twenty-five percent (25%) will not be under any lock-up restrictions.

In a reasonably expected scenario, the total cost of the acquisition would be approximately USD 11 million, i.e the upfront payment of USD 6.5 million and earn-out payments in the total amount of USD 5.5 million. In this scenario the acquired assets need to generate revenue growth of between 80 and 140 percent during the earn-out period.

The assets will be consolidated in Catena Media during April 2018.

Explaining the background to the campaign creative iGB Portfolio Director Naomi Barton said: “The Future Now was inspired by our customers and broader stakeholder community who during a comprehensive engagement programme told us that they viewed iGBA as the place where the industry’s brightest and best come together to define the future of the industry.

“For so many of our stakeholders the future starts at iGB Affiliate which represents their most important business opportunity of the year. The event messaging captures the pioneering spirit of the industry and reflects iGBA ‘s status as the home of the iGaming Affiliate community.

As the ONLY exhibition that’s focused purely on igaming affiliation every connection made at show is going to lead somewhere. In terms of content the Pulse Stage will focus on future markets, future tech and future opportunities.

“As this is our last year in London, there will be an iGB Affiliate ‘Farewell to London’ party like no other – and we will be celebrating alongside sister show ICE to ensure that we deliver something exceptional.

iGB Affiliate Awards celebrate outstanding achievements, groundbreaking innovations and creativity

 

The international igaming affiliate community has until 20 October to provide their submissions for the coveted iGB Affiliate Awards, which recognise the outstanding achievements and groundbreaking innovations that have taken place throughout the sector over the last 12 months. 

The winners across 20 categories will be unveiled at a futuristic fantasy-themed, black-tie celebration taking place following the second day of iGB Affiliate (8 February) at the Troxy, a Grade II-listed 1930’s Art Deco music venue which is situated just a short journey from ExCeL London.

Previewing the Awards, iGB Portfolio Director Naomi Barton said: “This is the event where the igaming affiliate community is able to collectively let its hair down after an action-packed opening day at the premier show for the sector, and recognise the success of colleagues and competitors in the sumptuous surroundings of one of London’s most-loved Art Deco entertainment venues.

“Recognised for being the Oscars of the industry, the iGB Affiliate Awards comprise 20 categories, 19 of which are open to the industry to enter or vote on. The remaining category – for Affiliate Idol (aka Lifetime Achievement Award) – is selected by an in-house panel but in a change for 2024 we are now inviting suggestions from the industry. The Awards are free to enter. There is no limit on the number of categories you can put yourself or your company forward for – if you feel you meet the entry criteria, then we want to hear from you!

“As iGB Affiliate prepares to say goodbye to London ahead of the show’s 2025 relocation to Barcelona, we want to ensure that the 2024 Awards will be the best edition yet. Which is why we are pulling out all of the stops with a theme which brings together the worlds of cyberpunk and fairytale as the backdrop to showcasing the creativity which runs through the sector.”

With something for everyone to enter, the Affiliate Awards Categories comprise: Best Casino Affiliate, Best Sports Betting Affiliate, Best Bingo Affiliate, Best Poker Affiliate, Best Crypto Affiliate, Best Streaming Affiliate, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Affiliate Employer of the Year and Safer Gambling Initiative of the Year. Individual Categories: Best Affiliate Manager and Affiliate Idol (Lifetime Achievement Award). Programme/Network Categories: Best Affiliate Programme and Best Affiliate Network. Service Provider Categories: Best Tech for Affiliates, Best Tech for Affiliate Programmes, Best Digital Agency and Game of the Year (Public Vote). All Companies: Rising Star, Best Newcomer and Innovator of the Year.

The iGB Affiliate Awards are decided by an external panel of  industry judges selected for their expertise on both the igaming affiliate sector and in specialist areas relevant to individual awards, such as safer gambling. All 18 confirmed judges have signed an NDA to keep submitted information confidential and the winners’ names secret until the event has taken place. They are also obliged to declare any potential conflicts of interest prior to judging. Judges are allocated categories aligned to their areas of industry experience and knowledge, and to avoid potential conflicts of interest. Access to submissions is restricted to the judge’s allocated categories.
