Across 33 London-based gaming rounds (May 2020 through November 2025), one disclosed amount stands out: F1 Arcade’s $100M close on 2024-06-26, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed figure of $50M from Space Ape’s debt financing on 2022-07-07. The disclosed amounts are also concentrated in a relatively dense 2022–2024 window: for example, multiple $2M–$5M Seed rounds appear in 2022 (e.g., Rainmaker Games $5M on 2022-12-23; Sport Buff $3M on 2022-08-22), while 2024 includes several larger disclosed closes such as FRVR’s $13M (2024-08-13) and F1 Arcade’s $100M (2024-06-26).
Stage and disclosure are mixed: 5 of 33 entries are “Series Unknown” (Hazimation 2025-01-21; Oxalis games 2024-10-15; Empire Games 2024-09-10; FRVR 2024-08-13; OVAL3-classification is Seed but FRVR is Unknown), and 3 of 33 entries are explicitly “undisclosed” (Hazimation 2025-01-21; Empire Games 2024-09-10; Aetherium Gaming 2024-08-14). The page also shows a notable stage spread from pre-seed and seed (e.g., Rival $4M on 2025-03-25; Midnite $10M on 2025-04-14) to much larger later-stage/debt/undisclosed rounds (e.g., Kepler Interactive $120M on 2021-09-28; SwiftSkill $200K on 2022-01-25).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round here, and how far above the rest is it?
F1 Arcade’s $100M (2024-06-26) is the largest disclosed amount in the table. The next-largest disclosed figure is Space Ape’s $50M debt financing on 2022-07-07, so F1 Arcade’s disclosed round is about double that next peak and well above the $13M-level entries like FRVR ($13M on 2024-08-13).
Are there tight temporal clusters within 2022–2024, or is the funding spread evenly across the timeline?
Funding is not evenly distributed: several rounds cluster in 2022 and 2023 with repeated Seed sizes in the low single-digit millions (e.g., Rainmaker Games $5M on 2022-12-23; Sport Buff $3M on 2022-08-22; Karta $1M on 2023-07-10). 2024 also shows a heavier concentration of disclosed larger rounds, including FRVR $13M (2024-08-13) and Oxalis games $2M (2024-10-15).
Which disclosure categories show up most often: “Series Unknown” or “undisclosed” amounts?
“Series Unknown” appears 5 times (Hazimation 2025-01-21; Oxalis games 2024-10-15; Empire Games 2024-09-10; FRVR 2024-08-13; and another Series Unknown entry in the 2024–2025 window). Separately, “undisclosed” amounts appear 3 times (Hazimation 2025-01-21, Empire Games 2024-09-10, Aetherium Gaming 2024-08-14), making it harder to benchmark relative size for those rounds.
Which stages dominate the list, and do they align with the largest rounds or the smaller ends of the range?
Seed is frequently represented (e.g., Rival $4M on 2025-03-25; OVAL3 $3M on 2023-10-03; Eterlast $4M on 2022-11-08), while the top disclosed rounds skew to later/other structures such as F1 Arcade’s $100M (Series Unknown in the table on 2024-06-26) and Kepler Interactive’s $120M (2021-09-28). The smallest disclosed amount is SwiftSkill’s $200K (Pre-Seed, 2022-01-25), sitting at the low end rather than near the largest outliers.
Are there clear outliers besides the $100M round that would merit separate analyst attention?
Yes: Kepler Interactive shows a $120M disclosed amount on 2021-09-28, which is even larger than F1 Arcade’s $100M and therefore represents a second major outlier in the disclosed amount distribution. There are also structural outliers such as Space Ape’s $50M debt financing (2022-07-07), compared with many other entries clustered in the $1M–$13M disclosed range.
