Unibet is continuing to focus on core markets to strengthen its EU position and has reported all-time high revenues for the Nordic regions.

In order to strengthen its position in the changing European landscape, Unibet is continuing to focus on core markets. The group has also reported all-time high revenues for the Nordic region across both the Unibet and Maria brands. "During the first six weeks of 2012 we have seen continued good growth both in terms of revenue and customer registration. We also see encouraging growth in customer intake in Denmark," commented Unibet CEO Henrik Tjärnström.

Gross winnings revenue and profit from operations were up 26 per cent quarter on quarter. The group reported gross winnings revenue of £44.7m for Q4 2011 and £154.4m for the year ended December 31, 2011. Profits from operations were at £12.1m for the fourth quarter and £38.8m for the full year 2011.

In line with its acquisition strategy, Unibet has also made two strategic investments - one in France and one in Australia - to broaden the geographical and product range. "This combined with our developments towards local licences, such as our new Danish licence, is rapidly transforming Unibet," said Tjärnström.
