What ARRISE does

ARRISE is a privately held B2B software development and services company that supplies content, technology, and operational infrastructure to the global iGaming industry. The company builds and operates an end-to-end portfolio that includes award-winning video slots (with bonus rounds, free spins, and immersive mechanics), live casino experiences (Blackjack, Baccarat, and Roulette broadcast from professional studios staffed by Game Presenters), and supporting platform, marketing, compliance, and technology services. ARRISE holds a Malta Gaming Authority B2B licence (MGA/B2B/317/2016) covering Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 Gaming Services, and distributes its content under licence from Pragmatic Play—giving the company reach into operator portfolios under one of iGaming's most recognised content brands.

ARRISE runs a global delivery model with 11,000+ professionals across 14 locations spanning Europe (Gibraltar HQ, Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Malta, Latvia, Ukraine, Isle of Man), the Middle East (UAE), Asia (India), and the Americas (Canada, Colombia, USA). The Romania legal entity (Arrise Live SRL) was incorporated in August 2018, and a parallel Maltese operating entity (Arrise Solutions (Malta) Limited) holds the regulatory licence. Operational hubs are concentrated in lower-cost Eastern European and South Asian markets for engineering, product, and 24/7 live studio operations, while commercial, legal, and compliance functions are anchored in Gibraltar and Malta.

Revenue is generated through B2B licensing and royalty-style arrangements with online gaming operators worldwide; the company does not sell directly to consumers. Specific pricing, contract terms, and customer identities are not publicly disclosed, and no public financial filings or funding events are present in the available data. ARRISE has been recognised multiple consecutive years as the World's Best Live Casino Provider and received the Great Place to Work award at the Women in Gaming Diversity Awards 2025.
