888 has reported continued momentum in sport and casino across regulated European markets, with positive trends in revenue in the UK continuing over the second half of the financial year.
In a trading report prior to its full-year results, the operator stated that progress in Europe had been supported by the group's ongoing focus on product enhancement.
Orbit, a new casino platform, was launched in May and rolled out across regulated markets, while new poker platform Poker 8 is due to begin a phased roll-out soon.
The 888 board remains confident that adjusted EBITDA for the full year will be in line with expectations.
In the US, the group has continued to strengthen its position including launching 888sport in New Jersey in September, paving the way for the group to launch in additional viable US states as future regulation allows.
This month, 888 announced the acquisition of the remaining 53 per cent interest in the All American Poker Network, a joint venture established in 2013, for US$28m.
Itai Frieberger, CEO of 888, said: "888 remains very excited by the significant long-term growth opportunities in the US market and, throughout the year, we have made significant operational progress in the region. The recently announced acquisition of the remaining stake in AAPN places 888 in an even better position to take advantage of the significant growth opportunities in the US and create additional value for our shareholders.
"Underpinned by the strength of the group's technology as well as our fantastic team and diversification across products and regulated markets, the board remains excited by 888's long-term growth prospects."
