Betty Online Casino Raises $5M Investment, Plans Growth

In February last year, the female-focused online gaming platform, Betty, launched its services for customers in Ontario, Canada’s largest province. The launch came after the operator secured a license from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), the gambling regulator in the province. Throughout last year, Betty raised a total of $7 million.

Now, after a new pre-series A funding led by CEAS Investments, the new female-focused online casino confirmed it raised $5 million. As noted, the achievement comes ahead of Betty’s Series A round. Globally recognizable companies, including Powerhouse Capital, HappyHour and Courtside Ventures participated in the latest funding round.

According to Betty, the new cash injection will seek to improve its live operations and propel customer engagement. Moreover, the company said that the capital will help upgrade its platform from the current version, Midnight 1, to Midnight 2, promising exceptional experiences.
