Significant strides were made in 2020 due to the company reporting tremendous success on its virtual gaming on its upgraded Just Bet Mobile App, its successful launch of a new pick-one game, Hot Pick; the revamping and relaunching of its SV Games App with improved functionalities, an expanded game portfolio and increased accessibility for users on Android, iOS and Windows operating systems.

One of the landmark successes was the launch of the super popular Cash Pot game in South Africa. This move, part of the Group’s expansion strategy, demonstrates the dexterity of SVL’s brand in entering international markets.
