History
[edit]Co-founders Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani have met as teenagers through the online game RuneScape, where they operated an in-game wagering system.[1] In 2013, they and their associates launched Primedice, an online dice game that accepted bets in Bitcoin.[1][2][4]
In 2016, Craven and Tehrani established Easygo in Melbourne as a software and game-development company serving the online gambling industry.[5] The company subsequently developed the technology and provided services for Stake.com, an online gambling platform launched in 2017.[3] Stake's growth contributed to the expansion of Easygo's operations.[3]
In 2022, Easygo started livestreaming with the launch of Kick, a streaming platform that appeared to be a competitor to Twitch.[6][7] In May 2024, Easygo Entertainment became a shareholder in Australian bookmaker PointsBet Holdings, holding more than five per cent of the company.[8]
In January 2026, Easygo united several of its in-house game studios under the name Easygo Games.[9] In November 2025, the company planned to relocate its Melbourne office to a larger campus in Cremorne.[10]
In October 2026, Ed Craven was ranked second on the Australian Financial Review Young Rich List[11]
For the financial year which ended in 30 June 2025, Easygo Group Holdings reported revenue of approximately A$970 million and net profit of A$257 million (about US$171 million).[12]
In April 2025, Stake launched Stake Engine, a remote gaming server providing tools for game development and distribution.[13][14][15]
