A deal has been made for Bally's Corporation to buy Snipp Interactive for $5 million. Once the financial deal is done, the company will likely own about 9% of Snipp's common and outstanding shares.
Since the deal goes through, Bally's will have a licence for the SnippLOYALTY software for three years. The business will use Snipp's software on both its online and offline sites. It is planned that the first two launches will start in the second quarter of this year.
The two businesses have also joined forces, making Bally's the only casino that can offer games on Snipp's loyalty gaming app, Gambit.
In February of this year, Snipp Interactive made a legally binding deal with all of Gambit's shareholders to buy Gambit Digital Promotions. Gambit Rewards, which was bought outright, was part of the deal.
The market regulator has cleared Gambit as a consumer network that combines loyalty programmes with American online gambling and gaming. Matt Davey and David VanEgmond, two well-known gaming leaders and businessmen, were among its early investors.
According to Atul Sabharwal, founder and CEO of Snipp Interactive, Bally's is one of the most forward-thinking game companies. Their investment shows how valuable they think SnippLOYALTY and our SnippCARE platform for getting new customers, keeping old ones, and getting them involved.
"We bought Gambit to become more connected with the gaming world." Now, just a few months later, we're getting close to Bally's deeply. We're glad they're on our board and can't wait to use their extensive knowledge of this expanding field.
As part of the business deal, the two companies will work together to change the name of the Gambit reward platform. Bally's will be the only company able to name the platform, and Gambit will have the company's free-to-play games. The reward points from Bally and the Play Tokens from Gambit will be able to be linked.
Adi Dhandhania, Chief Operating Officer of Bally's Interactive in North America, said, "Working with Snipp helps us reach our strategic goals for omnichannel integration with well-established technology that can combine rewards platforms across the Bally's brand and give our customers a seamless user journey."

To have fun and be safe while gambling, it is important to gamble properly. Never risk more than you can afford to lose; instead, plan ahead and play within your means. To keep your head on straight and not chase your losses, take frequent breaks. Get a feel for the odds and remember that gambling is more of a pastime than a means to an end. Never gamble when under the influence of alcohol or stress, and be sure to keep track of your spending and time. Seek assistance from support groups or think about self-exclusion measures if gambling becomes harmful or stops being enjoyable.
