Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- High Roller Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:ROLR) ("High Roller" or the "Company"), operator of the award-winning, premium online casino brands High Roller, and Fruta, today issued a shareholder update highlighting key developments and achievements over the past several months and the strategic initiatives underway supporting accelerating growth in 2026 and beyond.
U.S. Prediction Market Entry through Strategic Partnership with Crypto.com
"Over the past several months, we've achieved multiple strategic milestones to strengthen and accelerate our growth roadmap," said Seth Young, CEO of High Roller Technologies. "Key among these initiatives is our binding partnership with Crypto.com | Derivatives North America ("CDNA") to support our planned expansion into the regulated U.S. prediction markets category. CDNA brings trusted infrastructure, deep market expertise, and a strong track record in regulated products, and we believe this collaboration positions us to introduce a differentiated, compliant predictions experience. Once we launch, we are expecting to rapidly scale our consumer base."
Strengthened Capital Position to Support Execution
- On January 21, 2026, the Company closed a registered direct offering of 1,892,506 shares of its common stock at an offering price of $13.21 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $25 million.
- In addition, the Company closed a $1.0 million strategic investment from Saratoga Casino Holdings LLC, marking Saratoga's first step into the online gaming sector.
"We're planning a next-generation event-based predictions product with CDNA that we believe can significantly expand our addressable market and diversify our revenue profile," continued Young. "With our recently completed $25 million financing, High Roller is well-positioned and well-capitalized to invest in product development, customer acquisition, and go-to-market execution as we prepare for launch. We have already announced several relationships to rapidly ramp this new product and we're moving quickly to establish awareness and adoption."
Expanded Partner Ecosystem
- Signed non-binding Letters of Intent with two leading social-first digital media platforms to accelerate customer acquisition and brand awareness:
- Leverage Game Media, a sports and gaming-focused digital media company that owns and operates highly engaged social communities including @NBAMemes and @NFT, delivering over 1 billion views annually to more than 5 million followers; and
- Forever Network, a rapidly growing sports media and fan engagement platform that delivered more than 20 billion impressions in 2025 to 450 million people.
- Announced plans to expand sports betting presence, signing a non-binding LOI with Altenar Software Limited, under which Altenar would provide a fully managed B2B sportsbook software solution for use on High Roller's licensed sports betting websites.
- Entered a strategic collaboration with Power Protocol to explore Web3-enabled incentive-driven engagement models designed to support responsible innovation, retention, and next-generation customer experiences across regulated markets.
