A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available by clicking on this link.
FORT WORTH, Texas, July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SEGG Media Corporation, formerly Lottery.com Inc., (NASDAQ: SEGG, LTRYW) (“SEGG Media” or the “Company”), a leading technology company transforming the global intersection of sports, entertainment and gaming today announced a strategic investment into Veloce Media Group (“Veloce”), one of the fastest-scaling digital platforms operating at the intersection of sport, gaming, and content. The partnership will be managed by Sports.com, a division of SEGG Media.
The investment forms part of a broader buy-and-build strategy to position SEGG Media as the home of immersive sports and next-generation media. The transaction, which values Veloce at £40 million ($53 million USD) pre-money, will be completed in two tranches, with a call option enabling SEGG to reach majority ownership at 51%.
This move reinforces SEGG Media’s recent launch and the turnaround success of Lottery.com. It signals a new phase of high-growth strategic acquisitions centered around profitability, scale, and exciting global fan engagement.
A Cash-Generating, High-Growth Digital Asset
Veloce Media Group has built the world’s largest racing and gaming media network with more than 750 million monthly digital views and reaching a rapidly growing Gen-Z and millennial audience. In its most recent fiscal year ended March 2025, Veloce reported £12.8 million ($17.5 million USD) in revenue. Veloce has strong forward momentum following July 2025 acquisition of Quadrant, a disruptive motorsport content and lifestyle brand co-founded with Formula 1 driver Lando Norris.
The Veloce Group operates across:
-
Competitive esports and sim racing (F1 Esports, Ferrari Global Series)
-
Immersive content and athlete-led platforms
-
Sustainable racing initiatives including FIA Extreme H World Cup
-
Creator-led brands, merchandise, and digital fan engagement
The investment from the Company is funding key strategic initiatives, including Veloce’s acquisition of Quadrant, with £2 million ($2.6 million USD) committed in the first tranche. The remainder is scheduled for completion by end of July 2025.
Matthew McGahan, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of SEGG Media
“Since completing the turnaround of the Company, we identified two global sports verticals, motorsport and soccer, as cornerstones of our future strategy. This investment into Veloce is yet another tangible step into motorsport following the successful multi-race partnerships we secured with three rising stars in IndyCar and Indy NXT.
“With Veloce now in the family, we’re doubling down. We see this as a continuation of our expansion into motorsports, a sector that offers scale, global fanbases, commercial viability, and media storytelling potential across all levels of competition. From F1, IndyCar, MotoGP, to NASCAR and beyond, SEGG Media is positioning the Sports.com brand not just via sponsorship, but through content creation, team partnerships and immersive behind-the-scenes access.
“Our internal production arm, Sports.com Studios, is already developing original content formats that tap into this world and, now, with the energy and expertise of Veloce’s young leadership, we’re excited to explore that frontier together.”
Jack Clarke, Chief Strategy Officer of Veloce Media Group
“Veloce Media Group is uniquely positioned to engage a generation of digitally native sports fans. With SEGG Media’s support, we are well placed to scale our media and competitive operations while continuing to innovate.”
Majed Al Sorour, President of Sports.com, a division of SEGG Media (former Main Board Director of Newcastle United Football Club and CEO of LIV Golf)
“This investment marks a transformative opportunity for the region. Saudi Arabia is home to over 23 million gamers, representing nearly 70% of the population, and consistently ranks among the highest globally in daily gaming engagement. With major international events like Gamers8, the Esports World Cup and the upcoming Olympic Esports Games hosted in Riyadh, the Kingdom has rapidly become a global epicenter for esports and digital sport.
“Partnering with Veloce brings not only immersive content and commercial upside, but also connects the Sports.com brand to one of the most digitally active youth populations in the world, positioning the brand at the heart of the fastest-growing sports entertainment economy on the planet.”
Veloce Media Group is led by CEO Daniel Bailey and a seasoned board including:
-
Andy Webb, Chairman and former CEO of the Marussia F1 Team
-
Darryl Eales, former CEO of Lloyds Development Capital, who delivered £1.2 billion ($1.6 billion USD) in capital gains during his tenure
Daniel Bailey, Chief Executive Officer of Veloce Media Group
“We’re excited to partner with Sports.com and SEGG Media, two brands that share our vision for next-gen sport. Together we can scale faster, deliver stronger fan experiences, and unlock significant commercial upside.”
