Sportingbet’s owner’s daily net gaming revenue during the opening four months of the year came in at €658,000 ($740,800), which represents an increase of 17.5% on the same period last year.
Gaming remained GVC’s main source of income after generating daily net gaming revenue of €347,000 in the period, up 19.7% from €290,000 last year.
GVC also noted that sports wagers increased 21.4% to €4.6 million in the period, although sports margin fell from 9.62% last year to 8.75% in the opening four months of this year.
“The board is delighted by the strong start to 2015 despite a lower sports margin percentage as a result of punter friendly results so far this year as has been commented upon already by a number of our peers,” Alexander said.
“The business continues to show impressive growth and we continue to remain confident for the rest of the year.”
