- Saffery LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “As at March 2025 SIS has regulatory licences in 12 states in the United States of America (up from 3 states as at March 2024) and is in the process of applying to additional US states. The expansion of states and the increased volume of events has driven the growth in revenues for Competitive Gaming in the year with a new major US customer added in the year.”
- “Since the end of the financial year the business has secured two more US regulatory approvals bringing the total to 14 states where our Competitive Gaming products are live with customers and a major US customer has launched with our esoccer product.”
- “The Scheme "bought-in" during November 2022, securing pensions with annuity policies held in the name of the Trustees. We understand that the annuity policies were reassigned to the individual members on 12 March 2025 meaning that the Scheme is now "bought-out" and no longer holds defined benefit liabilities or the associated asset.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
