The company's strategic shift to regulated markets represents a double-edged sword. While it potentially reduces regulatory risk and could improve long-term stability, the transition period is clearly creating financial strain. The company expects improved cash flow and margins in H2 2025, but investors should watch carefully whether the Ontario launch and other initiatives can reverse the current negative trend in profitability before cash reserves become stressed.

Las Vegas, Nevada, May 15, 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 financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. High Roller currently offers more than 5,300 games from over 90 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, “Beginning in Q1 and leading into Q2, we began executing against a strategic plan and staff reorganization to focus exclusively on high-potential regulated markets. We expect this will lower both operating cost and risk, and position the Company for scalable, sustainable long-term growth. While we experienced modest revenue growth as compared to Q1 2024 and we acknowledge the widened operating loss, we expect to increase our cash flow and margin in the second half of 2025 commensurate with the ongoing strategic plan.”
As part of this strategic plan, High Roller has started the process of winding down operations in the last remaining non-growth markets. Additionally, the Company has commenced its preparations to focus on regulated market opportunities in Canada and Finland, highlighted by the completion and submission of the Company’s initial licensing application in Ontario. Subject to licensure and regulatory approval, the Company plans to launch operations in Ontario in H2 2025, significantly expanding its total addressable revenue opportunity.
“Launching in Ontario is our first step into North America,” said Clemes. “We’re also thrilled to see Alberta take action to open a competitive regulated market. The momentum we built towards the end of Q1 has carried into Q2, and we’re gaining strength.”
