Nazara’s Absolute Sports acquires assets of DeltiasGaming

Absolute Sports, a Nazara Technologies subsidiary and the parent company of Sportskeeda.com, has signed an asset purchase agreement to acquire all  the assets of DeltiasGaming.com, a premier source of gaming and e-sports content in the US. 

The transaction is for an all-cash consideration of $900K ( around Rs 7.5 crore) to be paid over one or more tranches and is expected to be closed in the next 45 days.

Last month, Nazara Technologies’ mobile gaming arm Next Wave Multimedia acquired the intellectual property rights of Ultimate Teen Patti from Games24X7 for Rs 10 crore.  

It also announced the acquisition of an additional 48.42% stake in Paper Boat Apps (PBA) from its promoters Anupam and Anshu Dhanuka for a sum of Rs 300 crore. In May, Nazara acquired 100% stake in mobile gaming subsidiary Nextwave Multimedia by buying the remaining 28.12% from founders.

DeltiasGaming.com had revenues of $575K (around Rs 4.8 crore) for the twelve-month period ending June 2024. As per Absolute Sports, it will use its cash reserves to fund the transaction.

With this acquisition, Absolute Sports aims to deepen its presence in the gaming and esports media publishing sector in the US region. It plans to use Deltia's Gaming’s user base of almost 1.5 million monthly readers and its long-standing brand equity to establish the group as an authoritative voice in the gaming media space. 

The acquisition also provides the group access to a large audience on YouTube and popular gaming streaming network Twitch under the Deltia's Gaming brand.
