CEO Comment
“Strong finish to the best year ever for Betsson — we continue to strengthen our position as one of the global leaders in gaming and betting.
“As we put 2024 behind us, we can conclude that it was the best year ever for Betsson, where we continued to strengthen our position as one of the global leaders in gaming and betting. The year was characterized by high growth, strengthened profitability and strategic investments in line with our long-term goals and our vision to offer the best gaming experience in the industry.
“Our investments in the Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia (CEECA) regions continue to be a key driver of the Group’s growth, and we have successfully built a strong position in several key markets using our expertise in online gaming and our proprietary technology platform and sportsbook. Our commitment to sports and marketing through strategic sponsorships has also played an important role in strengthening Betsson’s brand and engaging our players globally.
“Our investments to strengthen the product offering and increase brand awareness contributed to the excellent results for the year. For the full year 2024 we passed one billion euros in revenue for the first time, which was 17 percent higher than the previous year. At the same time, the EBIT margin strengthened to over 23 percent thanks to our scalable business model and continued cost control. The cash flows of the business and the robust balance sheet enable us to keep paying attractive dividends to our shareholders while we continue investing in future growth. For 2024, the Board has proposed an increased ordinary dividend of 0.657 euros per share, and a special dividend of 0.10 euros per share.
“During the fourth quarter we saw sustained high customer activity in both casino and sports betting. New records were set across the board on a Group level – customer deposits, gaming turnover, revenue and EBIT were the highest ever in a single quarter. Revenue increased by 22 percent and hence passed 300 million euros for the first time in a single quarter. At the same time, EBIT increased by 23 percent compared to the corresponding period in the previous year.
“I would like to thank our employees for their dedication and hard work, which have been instrumental in our continued growth over the past year. We have a fantastic team that continues to deliver exceptional results, and their passion and expertise, combined with our strong corporate culture, position us well for the future.
“We continue to forge new paths and act as pioneers in everything we do and look forward to continuing our growth journey in 2025. Geographic expansion and diversification remain key words for us, and we have a full pipeline of activities to support continued growth. With disciplined capital allocation, promising strategic initiatives and our commitment to strengthening the customer experience, we are confident that we can continue to create long-term value for our shareholders and customers.”

Blueprint Gaming
Trail enhancements and dual bonuses lead Blueprint’s Goonies™ Quest for Treasure 2
Reading Time: 2 minutes
The iconic gang of treasure-hunting misfits are back for their biggest adventure yet in Blueprint Gaming’s The Goonies
Quest for Treasure 2, with a revamped trail offering enriched modifiers and a choice of two bonus games among several enhancements to the player-favourite series.
The studio’s headline November release is the latest addition to its Goonies portfolio, which stands as one of the company’s strongest game franchises globally. In the UK, seven Goonies releases sit within Blueprint’s top 100 ranked games, with at least one Goonies title sitting inside its top 10 across 70% of its leading international markets, including Canada and Italy.
The previous Goonies release, The Goonies
Megaways
Quest for Treasure Jackpot King
, remains Blueprint’s top-performing title since its launch back in May 2025, underlining the demand for the series amongst operators’ player bases worldwide.
Unlike its predecessor, the One-Eyed Willy treasure chests are immediately unlocked when gameplay begins, boosting the chance of securing entry to the bonus game.
Landing one or two red, blue or green chest-themed bonus symbols can randomly unlock Treasure Spins, while landing three guarantees entry, with each chest possessing a different modifier.
Base play also benefits from the possibility of unlocking modifiers, with the iconic Sloth able to randomly appear on the reels, granting anything from Hidden Treasure, Bonus Boost, Dynamite Blast, Cave In or Collect Boost.
Collect symbols that land during the main game also move the Inferno along the revamped trail that sits above the reels. A host of hidden features await, including the new X-Collect and the introduction of Power Play, which transforms the reels to only contain cash symbols, collects and bonus scatter symbols.
Also featured during the trail is the One-Eyed Willy Spins. Once unlocked, landing three bonus scatter symbols sees players benefit from a choice of two bonus game options, with One-Eyed Willy Spins working similarly to Treasure Spins, but instead of an increasing multiplier for collects gathered during the round, a progressive amount of cash prizes is added to the reels.
The Goonies
Quest for Treasure 2 marks the latest release from Blueprint Gaming’s jam-packed Q4 schedule, underlining the studio’s ability to transform cinema into engaging slot brands.
Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing, PR and Events at Blueprint Gaming
, said: “The Goonies
franchise continues to be one of our most beloved and recognisable series, and Quest for Treasure 2 elevates everything players enjoy about it.
“With enriched modifiers, an expanded trail and dual bonus options, we’ve packed this release with action-filled moments that capture the magic of the original film while pushing gameplay forward. We’re thrilled to bring players another epic adventure with the gang as we close out a landmark year for Blueprint.”
