Las Vegas, Nevada, March 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- High Roller Technologies ("High Roller" and the "Company") (NYSE: ROLR), operator of premium online casino brands High Roller and Fruta, today reported its fourth quarter and full year financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024. High Roller currently offers more than 4,400 games from over 80 game providers, representing one of the widest online casino game portfolios in the world, including video slots, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps, video poker, and more.
Ben Clemes, Chief Executive Officer at High Roller Technologies, commented, "We closed the year with a 12% YoY increase in Q4 revenue and we are taking steps to implement a strategic realignment plan following the successful IPO in October that strengthened our balance sheet. I am confident that we are building a solid foundation to underpin our vision for sustainable, long-term growth as we invest in and execute upon new market expansion, anchored by our High Roller brand and our proven track record of operational excellence."
Leveraging its expertise in player acquisition, retention, and industry-specific marketing relationships, in 2024 the Company grew its active user base, increased its first-time depositors, and successfully launched Fruta.com into current markets in preparation for further market expansion.
Additionally, High Roller is in the process of applying for a gaming license in Ontario, Canada, where subject to licensure it plans to launch its award-winning online casino brand to the public in H2 2025 and increase its total addressable market by approximately $2 billion.
"As we continue to evolve as an online iCasino operator, I am confident that our premium brand and deep industry expertise are strong tailwinds for us in this dynamic, growing market," said Clemes.
