SEGG Media Nominates Daniel Bailey to Board of Directors Following Majority Acquisition of Veloce Media Group

FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sports Entertainment Gaming Global Corporation (NASDAQ: SEGG, LTRYW) (“SEGG Media” or the “Company”) today announced the nomination of Daniel Bailey, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Veloce Media Group, to the SEGG Media Board of Directors, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Veloce.

Bailey’s appointment strengthens SEGG Media’s commercial focus, corporate governance and strategic oversight as the Company accelerates its plans to grow revenue in the global sports and digital media sector.

Strategic Board Appointment

Under Bailey’s leadership, Veloce became one of the fastest-growing platforms operating at the intersection of esports, motorsport, digital content, and gaming. Under his leadership, Veloce has built a diversified commercial ecosystem spanning championship-winning teams, athlete-led content brands, and long-term partnerships with global enterprises including McLaren, Visa, Microsoft, Hilton, LEGO, and others. Bailey was also instrumental in structuring Veloce’s recent acquisition of the rapidly growing content and lifestyle motorsport business Quadrant – co-founded by 2025 Formula One World Champion Lando Norris.

As a SEGG Board member, Bailey expects to contribute direct operating expertise in digital audience monetization, brand partnerships, international expansion, and scalable media execution, which are areas central to SEGG’s 2026 growth strategy.

Robert Stubblefield, CFO and Interim CEO and President of SEGG Media, said: “Dan’s appointment reflects our commitment to aligning operating leadership with governance. Veloce delivers scale, rapidly growing revenues and profits, and high-quality commercial partnerships. Bringing Dan onto the Board ensures strategic continuity and strengthens our ability to execute on integration and growth.”

Bailey commented: “This marks an important milestone for both Veloce and SEGG Media. Combining SEGG Media’s access to public markets and strong domain names with Veloce’s proven revenue model and global partnerships creates a powerful platform for accelerated expansion. I look forward to contributing at Board level as we scale the combined business.”
