Shares of both Gunsynd (LON: GUN) and Pires Investments (LON: PIRI) have made gains in the last hour after providing updates on their investments in sports betting platform Low6.
UK based Low6 previously extended its pre-IPO funding round to allow a “well-respected figure in the worldwide gaming industry to invest in Low6 and join its advisory board post-IPO,” said Pires.
