CEO Comments
“I am pleased to look back at another record quarter for Betsson with continued high customer activity and strong financial performance. During the second quarter of 2023, revenue increased by 27 percent and operating profit (EBIT) by 87 percent, compared to the corresponding quarter last year. New revenue records were set in both B2C and B2B. The EBIT margin increased to 23.0 (15.7) percent.
“Betsson’s long history of profitable growth is based on diversified revenues, both in terms of products and geographic markets. As before, the business generates strong cash flows, and the robust balance sheet constantly facilitates new growth initiatives. It is the mix of investments in new markets, organically and via acquisitions, that has contributed to the good financial performance over time. The geographical diversification continues to serve Betsson well and revenues increased in all regions during the quarter. In particular, Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia (CEECA) continued to show high growth.
“In June, the leading Belgian sports betting operator betFIRST was acquired and at the same time a new strategic partnership was entered into with the publicly listed French casino operator Groupe Partouche to offer online casino games in some regulated markets, with Belgium being the first country for this collaboration. These strategic initiatives together enable a competitive offering in sports betting and casino for the Belgian market. The investment in Belgium resonates well with Betsson’s ambition to deliver long-term profitable growth.
“In June, an important sponsorship was entered into with the long-standing Argentinian football club Boca Juniors, previously home to perhaps the greatest player ever in football history, Diego Armando Maradona. The sponsorship, one of the largest ever for Betsson, means that the club’s iconic match shirt will feature the Betsson logo during local and international matches until the end of 2024. The collaboration with Boca Juniors strengthens Betsson’s brand and rapid expansion in Argentina and throughout Latin America, and we will be following the team’s development with excitement together with fans and customers.
“We look forward with confidence to the second half of the year, with continued investments into geographic expansion and constant further development of Betsson’s offering to future-proof our competitiveness.”

It was necessary to accelerate that change from within, and I took the lead on that chapter of transformation.
“Together, we have achieved a lot: launching Brazil, growing our actives, revenue and EBITDA while strengthening our product and tech stack, and now, with the migration of Romania to our own platform, we are nearing completion of our first phase of transformation.

Asia Gaming Awards 2025
Spintec Showcases Award-winning Solutions and Innovations at G2E Las Vegas
 
														Reading Time: 2 minutes
It was an honour for Spintec to exhibit at G2E Las Vegas this year, after being recognised with multiple honours across the world, including Best Performing ETG Product in LATAM and Western Europe (Eilers, 2025) and Best Electronic Table Game Solution at the Asia Gaming Awards 2025.
At G2E 2025, Spintec presented an exhaustive portfolio of products that have accrued so many awards: from different games and experiences to a surprising range of settings in the Charisma Series.
The solution that garnered the most attention was the Charisma Amphitheater that can accommodate a large number of players. They can share the same dynamic, multigame experience, enjoying Roulette, Sic Bo, Craps, Blackjack, or Baccarat across automated, virtual and live platforms. The action is constant and thrilling, not just because of the varied and exciting games, but also because of the expanded side bets, jackpots and simultaneous gameplay options.
This layout fosters a vibrant, tournament-ready atmosphere that is always a lot of fun. However, at G2E, Spintec showed that it can be upgraded even further with their latest innovation: the Spintec Tournament Experience. It comes with a visually striking LED-driven environment with real-time stats, live visuals and dynamic leaderboards that are designed to keep players immersed and energised.
At the other end of the spectrum are the circumstances where individual play is much preferred to a shared experience. In those, Charisma SVM (Stand-Alone Virtual Machine) is a perfect solution. It combines five table games into a sleek, space-efficient cabinet for individual players. It is designed for flexibility and fast play, allowing extremely smooth game transitions. It is compact yet powerful and delivers unmatched versatility for casinos of any size.
Visitors at G2E also got to experience two absolute rising stars from the Spintec portfolio. Galactic Spin, Spintec’s flagship game, is quickly becoming one of their most interesting introductions. It is a GLI-certified roulette-style innovation that amplifies excitement through free spins, multipliers and a three-level Galactic Jackpot, one of the most advanced and engaging progressive roulette systems worldwide.
The other undisputed star and a global bestseller from Spintec’s lineup is the Charisma Roulette with eight play stations. Its popularity comes from innovations such as Galactic Spin Roulette, Lucky Number Jackpot and HotSpot Roulette, which are all extremely reliable revenue drivers. The setting also offers exceptional visibility of the wheel from every seat with an elegant design enhanced by LED illumination and dual-sided animated signage.
The visitors at the G2E Las Vegas also very much enjoyed the Baccarat and Craps setups. The Charisma Baccarat with five play stations showed authentic gameplay through its market-tailored squeeze feature and a variety of side bets with payouts up to 48x, including some exclusive side bet options unique to Spintec. The other solution that also invited a lot of attention was the Charisma Craps technology. It exhibited extremely smooth gameplay with exciting dice rolls and fast, accurate number reading, maintaining the thrill of traditional craps while enhancing efficiency. A standout element is the Shooter Button, a fun and interactive feature that assigns the shooter role in accordance with authentic live game rules. Charisma Craps also incorporates a proprietary solution that guarantees clean, fair rolls by preventing dice from becoming cocked or landing on top of each other.
All of Spintec’s solutions are extremely customisable with premium finishes, and a design that fits any casino floor.
