Gaming1 has completed the acquisition of 100% of Carousel's shares, marking the end of a partnership that stretched over 14 years. This development was confirmed by Renaud Thys, head of mergers and acquisitions at Gaming1, through a post on his LinkedIn account. The financial details of the deal remain undisclosed.
Since 2012, Gaming1 has collaborated with Carousel, supplying technology and content for its Belgian operations. With this transaction, Gaming1 now takes full ownership of Carousel and its customer base.
Gaming1 has begun implementing the acquisition and ensures that there will be no changes to the existing workforce. Juan Covacevich, the head of interactive at Gaming1, stated, "Casino1 shows our ability to build reliable technology in Wallonia, with player protection at the core. It is a locally developed platform, designed with high standards and responsibility to support a sustainable and regulated sector."
This acquisition comes on the heels of Gaming1's launch of its new online-only brand, Casino1, in the summer of 2025, which emphasized player protection capabilities in its initial press release.
Sylvain Boniver, Gaming1's chief operating officer, expressed confidence in the acquisition, stating, "We believe this acquisition will further strengthen our digital presence in Belgium and enhance the fun and engaging entertainment experience we offer our players. It will also support our ambition to provide a safe, responsible and distinctive offering in the regulated Belgian market."
