Organised in collaboration with over 20 operator partners and featuring a €20,000 prize pool, the campaign attracted strong player participation and delivered significant results across all participating platforms.

Powered by Amusnet’s recently launched Tournament Tool, the campaign delivered a dynamic, competitive experience that enhanced the player engagement. The tool allows full customisation of event rules, duration, ranking criteria and prize structure, supported by a real-time leaderboard and intuitive setup. With flexible mechanics and varied reward types, it empowers operators to run impactful, tailored campaigns. Its strong performance in Italy reaffirmed its value as a trusted engagement solution, praised for its simplicity and measurable results.

The tournament showcased eight of Amusnet’s most popular titles in the Italian market, including Shining Crown, Royal Secrets, Extra Crown, 20 Extra Crown, Coin Gobbler, 20 Golden Coins, 40 Golden Coins and 100 Golden Coins. These titles continue to resonate with local audiences, combining engaging gameplay with proven appeal that helps operators deliver an enhanced entertainment experience.

Campaigns like Royal Coins Saga are an essential part of our commitment to delivering experiences that bring value to both players and partners.”

FDJ UNITED, a leader in lottery, betting and gaming in Europe, announced its results for the first half of 2025.

• First-half revenue of €1867m: up +31% compared with H1 2024 reported and down -2% on a restated basis

• Buoyant performance by the French lottery and retail sports betting BU with revenue of €1290m, up +4% on a restated basis

• Lottery revenue rose by +6% to €1065m. This performance can be attributed to the whole range of games and all distribution channels, particularly digital, which rose by +16% to €160m

• Point-of-sale sports betting revenue fell by -6% to €225m. This change reflects unfavourable sports results for the operator, despite stakes boosted by an attractive football offering (+4%)

• Online betting and gaming BU2 revenue of €466m, down -12% on a restated basis

• This change reflects a very unfavourable 2024 comparison base, due in particular to the Euro football tournament, as well as tax and regulatory impacts in 2025, particularly in the Netherlands and the UK. Excluding these two markets, revenue would be up 5% thanks to the performance of other countries, including France

• Second-quarter revenue came to €235m, up +2% compared with the first quarter of 2025

• Recurring EBITDA of €441m, representing a margin of 23.6%, or 24.4% excluding the cost of the employee share ownership plan (€14m)

• Adjusted net income of €222m

• This reflects the impact of the financing of the Kindred acquisition on the financial result and the one-off tax contribution on the profits of large French companies

• 2025 objectives reiterated: stable revenue versus 2024 pro forma, with a recurring EBITDA margin of over 24%

• Successful employee share ownership plan bringing the share of capital held by employees to 4.6%

• Taken up by more than half of employees and largely oversubscribed

“2025 stands as a transition year for FDJ UNITED, with the integration of Kindred well on track. In this context, our first-half performance is in line with the expected full-year trajectory. Besides, we are pleased by the success of the employee share ownership plan launched by the Group, reflecting our long tradition of sharing FDJ UNITED’s value creation with all stakeholders,” Stéphane Pallez, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of FDJ UNITED.
