Website

Kammelna is a Dammam-founded gaming studio, operated by Remal Information Technology, that has built the leading digital home for Baloot and other traditional Gulf card games since 2009, reaching more than 6 million downloads, over 1 million monthly active users, and tournaments drawing 150,000 players with a 40+ person team. FLAG FOR JULIUS: founder Bader Al Zamil remains CEO after Saudi VC/PE firm Impact46 announced a $53 million deal in August 2025 that nearly every headline describes as an 'acquisition' but that body text and Wamda's direct reporting describe as Impact46's 'largest investment' with no disclosed equity stake -- the true ownership structure (minority investment vs. majority/full acquisition) is not yet publicly confirmed.
