In its trading update for the second quarter of 2012, online gaming entertainment and solutions provider 888 reported group revenue of $92m.
“While the second quarter of the year saw a return to historical seasonal revenue patterns, revenue increased 17 per cent year-on-year supported by targeted marketing campaigns and market-leading customer relationship management,” said chief executive Brian Mattingley.
The group was awarded a Spanish online gaming licence on June 1 and has built a significant market share in the country, with the poker offer currently number two in the Spanish market.
“We have the right product offering and back office capabilities to grow and sustain market share, as indicated by the success in building a significant market share in the newly regulated Spanish poker market,” said Mattingley.
As of June 30, 2012, 888 had 12.1 million casino, poker and sport real money registered customer accounts, representing an increase of 26 per cent since June 30, 2011.
