Who owns Relax
| When | What happened | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 2010 | Relax Gaming founded | relax-gaming.com |
| 2013 | Kindred (then Unibet Group) invests; it later holds 33.4% as largest owner | Kindred release, 2 Jul 2021 |
| 2 Jul 2021 | Kindred agrees to buy the remaining 66.6%, implied value up to EUR 320M for 100% | Kindred release, 2 Jul 2021 |
| Q4 2021 | Closing expected in the fourth quarter; reported completed in October 2021 | Kindred release; European Gaming |
| 3 Oct 2024 | FDJ's offer for Kindred completes; the group later renames itself FDJ United | SBC News |
The Kindred release names the 66.6% and the valuation; the 33.4% prior stake follows from it. Relax itself does not name its owner on its homepage.
That makes Relax a supplier owned by a lottery company that also runs casino brands, Unibet among them. In Denmark, Relax launched its Dream Drop jackpot with FDJ United's own brands in September 2026, which shows how close the two sit.

Grouped by us from bonushunt.gg per-game data (top 100 Relax games by wagered, month window, snapshot 12 Nov 2026). Configured RTP is the setting Stake reports for each game.
Most Relax money on Stake sits on games set between 96.0% and 96.5%. The 8 games at 97% or more take only 10% of it, and Beast Mode at 97% is the only one of those in the Relax top ten. Book of 99 runs at 99% and gets around 155,000 bets a month, small change next to Temple Tumble.
If you go looking for the high-RTP Relax titles, you'll find mostly older, quieter games. Money Cart 2 runs at 98% on Stake with no buy button, and Marching Legions at 98.12%. Your money lasts longer on paper. The big Relax hits people post about tend to come from the Money Train games, which sit closer to 96.5%.
Bonus buy or not
| Group | Games | Wagered | Share | Average bet | Paid back |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| With bonus buy | 68 | $6.17M | 58.1% | $2.93 | 95.0% |
| Without bonus buy | 32 | $4.45M | 41.9% | $1.72 | 92.8% |
Same data, grouped by us. Average bet = wagered ÷ bets; a bought bonus counts as one bet at its full price, which lifts the average for the first group. Paid back = 1 − GGR ÷ wagered over the month, not the RTP.
Temple Tumble Megaways has no buy feature on Stake and is still the most played Relax game there by a distance, 1.3 million bets in the month at about $2 each. Bets on the games with a buy feature run higher on average, partly because a bought bonus goes into the data as one very large bet.
