Slots supplier Hacksaw Gaming has announced the launch of a new “investment and acceleration arm” to support early-stage online gambling companies.
Hacksaw Ventures will provide capital for startups across studios, tech platforms, data tooling and “next-gen entertainment concepts”.
Companies will receive direct access to Hacksaw Gaming’s experience in product development, compliance and marketing strategies, the Stockholm-listed supplier confirmed.
Hacksaw Gaming encouraged early-stage growth companies “with a defined roadmap and ambition to scale” to apply, as well as teams developing “forward-thinking products” and those eager to leverage Hacksaw’s footprint and distribution network to accelerate expansion.
Marcus Cordes, operational CEO of Hacksaw Gaming, said: “With Hacksaw Ventures, we’re ready to back visionary founders who want to disrupt the gaming landscape. We understand the challenges you face and know the steps needed to reach your goals.
“When we back you, we plug you directly into an ecosystem built for scale, leveraging our position as one of the world’s fastest-growing content providers and our extensive distribution network spanning top-tier operators in regulated markets.”
In February, Hacksaw Gaming reported a 44% increase in revenue to €197.5m for full-year 2025.
The slots supplier floated on the Nasdaq Stockholm last summer at SEK77 a share, yet the stock has slid 30% since then to around SEK59 today.
The company’s market cap is, at the time of writing, SEK17bn.
Founded in 2018 in Malta by a group of industry veterans, Hacksaw Gaming developed a reputation for its edgy and mature game themes.
Ed Craven, co-founder of crypto-first casino Stake and streaming platform Kick, owns around 4% of Hacksaw Gaming.
Stake is one of Hacksaw Gaming’s largest customers.
Yesterday, 11 March, Stake announced that former Chelsea star Eden Hazard had been signed as a brand ambassador, joining the likes of Patrice Evra, Iker Casillas and Sergio Agüero.
