Software supplier 4ThePlayer.com has announced it has raised a significant amount of funding from private investors enabling it to target US expansion.

4ThePlayer, who specialises in creating mobile-first gambling games, said the seven-figure sum will help it to remain independent and develop and release further player-centric games.

The sum was raised from the company’s founders, as well as a group of industry individuals.

The group of investors includes M&A specialist Daniel Burns, former group director of Gaming Strategy at Bet365 Gil Rotem, former Ladbrokes Coral COO Ian Chuter, Reflex Gaming CEO Quentin Scott and ex-Scientific Gaming Digital CCO Steve Schrier.

4ThePlayer.com founder and CEO Andrew Porter said: “We are delighted we have completed this investment; we are continually creating exciting game concepts and the funding will allow us to bring them all to fruition over the next few years.

“Plus we will double down on our operator and player focused engagement.”
