Henrik Tjärnström, CEO of Unibet Group, said in a statement: “Strong performance across all brands and successful acquisitions deliver 65 per cent increase in gross winnings revenue - 42 per cent in constant currency, of which 27 per cent is pure organic growth.
“High activity levels driven by the ability to retain the customers from the Euro 2016 tournament that started in the second quarter has led to a continued gain in market shares.
“Margin in the sportsbook was in line with the prior year and the long-term averages, so it was pure activity growth that delivered a new all-time high in gross winnings revenue.”
