Super Group (SGHC) Limited, the parent company of Betway, a leading online sports betting and gaming business, and Spin, the multi-brand online casino, today announced that the Group anticipates delivering another quarter of strong financial and operational performance in Q3 2025, outperforming prior expectations despite what is usually a softer seasonal period. Continued momentum in sports betting, supported by optimized pricing and more efficient trading, was complemented by consistent engagement in casino and improving operational leverage across the Group’s core international markets.
This continued momentum reinforces confidence in the full-year outlook, and as a result, Super Group is raising its full-year Ex-U.S. revenue and Ex-U.S. Adjusted EBITDA guidance, which underscores the Group’s belief in the scalability of the business and the strength of the Group’s brand-led, data-driven model.
- Group revenue is now expected to be between $2.125 billion and $2.200 billion vs. prior guidance of greater than $2.04 billion
- Group Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be between $550 million – $560 million vs. prior guidance of $470 million – 480 million
Neal Menashe, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our performance through the third quarter continues to demonstrate the resilience of our model and the strength of our execution. We’re seeing strong contributions from both sports and casino, deeper customer engagement, and continued margin improvement across key markets. As a result, we’re pleased to raise our full-year outlook and remain confident in our ability to deliver for our shareholders.”
Alinda van Wyk, Chief Financial Officer, noted, “The consistency of our financial performance this quarter gives us confidence in our ability to drive both top-line and margin expansion. With cost ratios improving and our product-led strategy gaining traction, we remain focused on disciplined execution and long-term value creation.”

Esports Charts and GG.BET have presented an interactive map with data on tournaments around the world

Esports Charts, an analytical service that analyzes esports viewership, has partnered up with betting brand GG.BET, to present Esports Map, an interactive map with data on the most popular esports tournaments in 110 different countries. Each tournament also comes with historical moments when favorites and outsiders unexpectedly switched places in the bracket.
The analytical service Esports Charts has added a new interactive tool to its website, the Esports Map. It features the most popular tournaments by country, as well as data on peak viewership, winners, and prize pools. It also contains information on the most popular games in each country. There are also separate analytics dedicated to the United States, with information available for each of the 50 states. Data has been collected for a period spanning from 2017 up to right now, and is continuously updated.
GG.BET, who partnered with the project, supplemented the tournament information with interesting facts about participating teams. The insights include historical breakthroughs by underdogs and unexpected losses by tournament favorites. The information is provided using past outright betting data.
Esports Map allows users to track the esports industry’s development in various parts of the world. For instance, although League of Legends remains the most popular game and the League of Legends World Championship has kept its spot as the top esports tournament for many years, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) is visibly closing the gap between the two games. Worlds 2024 in London had 6,856,769 peak viewers, breaking the world record among all esports games since 2017. However, MPL Indonesia’s Season 15 of MLBB has kept its place in the top spot for 2025, with 4,132,224 peak viewers. Today, MLBB remains the only mobile game capable of attracting such a massive audience, and its fan base is growing, especially in Southeast Asia. Analysts are looking forward to Worlds 2025 in China, which will allow them to update the available data and compare how different games are developing.
“Esports Map is a new project from Esports Charts, which we’ve launched alongside GG.BET as our first partner. We aimed to create a tool that would be interesting and useful to both fans and industry professionals. At its core lies Esports Charts’ analytics, supplemented by betting insights from GG.BET—covering everything from peak viewership and prize pools to discipline trends and stories of unexpected victories.. When combined, this data turns into a live snapshot of esports that can be tracked by country and region,” said Esports Charts’ press office.
“GG.BET regularly supports projects that help people understand esports at a greater depth. Esports Map provides an easy-to-understand visual representation of the industry’s progress in individual countries around the world and displays the breakdown of games by region. It will be of interest to fans and will prove useful to professionals who are developing the industry,” added GG.BET’s press office.
Esports Charts and GG.BET have previously worked together on an analytical project dedicated to the BLAST Premier 2024 season. That project displayed data on views, unique statistics about both the game and bets placed, an analytical breakdown of the season, and exclusive infographics on teams and players.
