Gambling.com Group has sanctioned a swathe of redundancies across its business, with some employees stating up to 25% of the workforce had been cut.
Several employees have taken to LinkedIn over the past 24 hours announcing they had been impacted by the restructuring.
As per the posts, headcount across multiple departments and geographies has been cut by the New York-listed affiliate.
Those departments include content, SEO and finance, with impacted staff in the US and Ireland as well as Gambling.com Group’s remote workforce.
One of the impacted employees alleged that around 150 staff, or around 25% of the company headcount, had been cut.
Other posts suggested the changes had come about due to shift to automation and AI, although these claims remain unverified.
When approached by EGR for comment, Gambling.com Group said it would address the redundancies in its Q1 2026 earnings call, scheduled for 9.30pm UK time on Thursday, 14 May.
The Q1 earnings report is due to be released following market close in the US on Thursday afternoon.
Gambling.com Group’s shares were down 3% on Wednesday, 13 April, to $4.12 (£3.05).
The affiliate’s stock has slumped more than 70% in the past 12 months, although it has increased by 12% over the past month in anticipation of the Q1 earnings release.
The company, which runs brands including the eponymous Gambling.com, Casinos.com and RotoWire, has a current market cap of $144.6m.
The reported redundancies come after the business announced a CEO shift in March, with long-term boss Charles Gillespie shifting to become executive chair.
Gillespie had led the affiliate since its founding in 2006, when it was known as World Sports Network.
He will be replaced by his fellow co-founder and COO Kevin McCrystle following the company’s AGM later in May.
In Q4 2025, Gambling.com Group said revenue from non-SEO streams outstripped those of traditional affiliate means for the first time.
The business snapped up Odds Holdings in December 2024 in a deal worth up to $160m, taking ownership of OddsJam and OpticOdds in the process.
Speaking to EGR in March, Gillespie said the sports data side of the business was “AI-proof” and that it would be a “growth driver” in 2026.
Gillespie also said that the company was planning to do “nothing short of reinventing the entire organisation to be AI-first”.
The Gambling.com Group job cuts come weeks after LSports CEO Dotan Lazar announced a series of redundancies at the Israeli sports betting supplier, amid an AI pivot.
Local press reported that up to 20% of staff at the business had been cut.
