Easygo

Easygo is an Australian technology entity from Melbourne, Victoria. It was founded in 2016 by Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani.

It develops software and provides technology and operational services for online gambling platform Stake.com and livestreaming service Kick, launched in 2022.

History

Co-founders Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani have met as teenagers through the online game RuneScape, where they operated an in-game wagering system. In 2013, they and their associates launched Primedice, an online dice game that accepted bets in Bitcoin.

In 2016, Craven and Tehrani established Easygo in Melbourne as a software and game-development company serving the online gambling industry. The company subsequently developed the technology and provided services for Stake.com, an online gambling platform launched in 2017. Stake's growth contributed to the expansion of Easygo's operations.

In 2022, Easygo started livestreaming with the launch of Kick, a streaming platform that appeared to be a competitor to Twitch. In May 2024, Easygo Entertainment became a shareholder in Australian bookmaker PointsBet Holdings, holding more than five per cent of the company.

In January 2026, Easygo united several of its in-house game studios under the name Easygo Games. In November 2025, the company planned to relocate its Melbourne office to a larger campus in Cremorne.

In October 2026, Ed Craven was ranked second on the Australian Financial Review Young Rich List

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).

In April 2025, Stake launched Stake Engine, a remote gaming server providing tools for game development and distribution.
