Nexus International said its annual revenue reached $1.2 billion in 2025, up from $400 million in 2024. The company described that as a 200% year-on-year increase, the biggest single-period growth in its history. Founder Gurhan Kiziloz said he does not view $1.2 billion as the defining milestone, calling $100 billion the long-term turning point he is aiming for.
Growth funded internally with no outside investors
The company said it has expanded without taking money from outside investors. According to the report, every dollar used for growth has come from retained earnings, allowing Kiziloz to keep full ownership of the parent company during the expansion. Nexus also said it reinvested without drawing on credit lines or private equity, a structure that sets it apart from many high-growth operators.
Kiziloz’s background is also part of the story. The report said he went through five bankruptcies before building Nexus into a business generating $1.2 billion in annual revenue. He remains the sole owner while competing against much larger gaming operators.
Spartans.com drives most of the revenue surge
The biggest contributor to Nexus’s recent growth is Spartans.com, a casino-only gaming platform. Rather than combining casino and sportsbook products, the platform focuses on the casino segment and competes with names such as Stake and bet365. That narrower strategy is presented as a key reason the company has been able to scale quickly.
In 2025, Spartans.com absorbed $200 million in platform reinvestment, all funded internally. The report said the money went into technology, compliance, and platform architecture. Nexus described its operating model in simple terms: expand only when the existing product is already generating cash.
Latin America and Europe remain part of the portfolio
Beyond Spartans.com, the group also includes Megaposta, a licensed brand in Latin America, and Lanistar, a platform tailored for Europe. The company did not provide a revenue breakdown by platform or geography. It also has not issued public guidance for 2026.
Kiziloz did not offer forward revenue projections in the interview. His comments stayed focused on structure and control: no dilution, no dependence on fundraising cycles, and no outside pressure from investor timelines.
Founder ties current scale to a much larger ambition
The report added that Kiziloz has a personal net worth of $1.7 billion. Even with Nexus now generating $1.2 billion a year, he framed the current stage as an early checkpoint rather than an end point. His stated number remains $100 billion.
