SEGG Media Completes $10 Million Acquisition of GXR World Sports Platform

SEGG Media has announced a strategic acquisition of GXR Racer Holdings’ technology assets and user base, valued at USD10 million (AUD 15.4 million). The transaction, which adds over one million active users to SEGG Media’s portfolio, is part of a broader USD20 million (AUD30.8 million) investment strategy this month that included the earlier acquisition of Concerts.com.

The core of this strategy is the development of the Sports.com Super App, a digital platform designed to centralise multiple fan engagement verticals. By integrating GXR’s platform, the company aims to offer a single ecosystem combining live-streaming, community interaction, e-commerce, and both real-money and fantasy gaming. 

As this development signals a new competitor in the streaming landscape,  the platform’s initial content strategy, which includes global streaming rights for India’s Super League Kerala, suggests a focus on acquiring regional leagues with dedicated, globally dispersed fan bases rather than competing for high-cost, top-tier rights.

In addition, The move also highlights a deliberate push into the lucrative esports market. Following a recent investment in Veloce Media Group, the integration of GXR’s platform is intended to bridge traditional sports and gaming audiences.

This dual-market focus aims to engage a new generation of digitally-native sports fans, a demographic that is increasingly central to commercial strategies for sponsors and broadcasters.

The company’s strategic talent acquisition of GXR founder Paul Roy as a Director is a notable element of the deal. His two decades of experience in gaming and sports media will be crucial for the technical integration and long-term strategic execution of the global platform.

As SEGG Media’s Chairman and CEO, Matthew McGahan, noted, the acquisition is focused on “turning LOIs into real strategic assets,” emphasising the execution-oriented nature of the company’s recent activities.

The Super App is expected for a phased global launch starting in the third quarter of 2025. Its projected revenue model includes premium subscriptions, in-app advertising, and merchandise sales, reflecting a comprehensive commercial plan to monetise its consolidated user base.
