“The industry had its gates closed. Spartans kicked them open.” — Gurhan Kiziloz how Spartans.com, part of Nexus Intl. is scaling a new model for gaming — where precision drives performance, and performance drives profit.
When the industry gatekeepers thought the casino battlefield was already carved up, Spartans.com arrived and kicked the doors clean off their hinges. “The industry had its gates closed. Spartans kicked them open”says Gurhan Kiziloz, the architect behind Nexus International’s fastest-growing brand.
And the execution is undeniable: Spartans.com delivered a massive $301.9M in Q3 revenue, taking Nexus Intl. to $847.9M year-to-date and squarely on pace for its $1B+ 2025 target.
This is the story of a brand not seeking attention, but one built on precision, performance, and founder-led conviction; One that is actively targeting the gaming giants (PaddyPower, Bet365, SkyBet, etc) who assumed their walls were unbreakable. Spartans.com doesn’t seem to be here to play the game: They’re here to change it.
Kiziloz on the $200 Million Investment: “Going All In — We’re Coming for Everything”
The third quarter of 2025 validated Kiziloz’ philosophy of “strategic patience and operational excellence”. The $301.9 million quarterly result was fueled by Spartans.com, which not only led the group’s performance but exceeded all revenue projections to redefine Nexus International’s success.
Asked about the size and intent behind that investment, Kiziloz was characteristically direct: “I’ve invested $200 million into Spartans.com to make it the world’s number one entertainment venue. We’re ready to go “all in” and push in another $500 million. This isn’t about taking part, we’re taking the lead.”
The words are part of Kiziloz’ business plan, one backed by structure and vision. “Ours is a new standard of operational excellence” he adds.
Combined with the performance of brands like Megaposta in Brazil (providing stable revenue and regional localisation), Nexus’ shared infrastructure—payments, compliance, risk-management, platform backbone, young and capable professionals—enables each of its brands to scale without reinventing the wheel. In other words: one foundation, multiple wins that are engineered once, and scaled everywhere.
More on Gurhan Kiziloz: The Architect of Performance
Gurhan Kiziloz has lately been defining himself as “the architect of performance” becoming a top name in the international casinos and marketing industry. While growing his brands, he consciously adopted a low-profile approach that emphasizes structure and sustainability over public displays. His $200 million “bet” on Spartans.com is less about a single marketing push and more about a calculated strategy to build a globally scalable, gaming enterprise. Kiziloz’ philosophy is a radical one: operational excellence and data-driven growth beat hype every time. Nexus International doesn’t chase every market; it enters jurisdictions where its robust compliance and localized products, like Megaposta in Brazil, and Spartans.com in global and under-served areas, guarantee a “win.”
The growth of brands, particularly in Q3 2025 is the ultimate proof of this principle: a product built correctly from the ground up, designed for the any-value user who prioritizes security and efficiency (and fun), is a superior engine of revenue than the heavily advertised, poorly built high-value-only user platform we were thus far used to. By leveraging its shared technological backbone and placing a colossal internal bet on product quality with Spartans.com, Nexus International is demonstrating that scale can be achieved through strategic discipline rather than reckless firepower.
The group is now accelerating towards its $1 billion annual target with precision and patience. Gurhan Kiziloz with his Nexus Intl. enterprise isn’t just building a billion-dollar value company but rather, he’s crafting the new standard, or as he himself puts it a “new battle plan” for winning in a still fiercely competitive, tightly regulated digital economy.
