bet-at-home.com releases company figures for 2019
– Gross betting and gaming revenue of EUR 143.3 million at previous year’s level
– EBITDA in financial year 2019 at EUR 35.2 million
– Cash and short-term time deposits at EUR 54.8 million
Revenue development in the financial year 2019:
In financial year 2019, the bet-at-home.com AG group achieved the highest betting and gaming volume in the company’s history with more than 3.2 billion euros. Gross betting and gaming revenue reached EUR 143.3 million, almost exactly the same as the previous year (FY 2018: EUR 143.4 million).
Betting fees and gaming levies in the financial year 2019 were slightly below the level of the previous year at EUR 20.9 million (FY 2018: EUR 21.0 million). VAT on electronic services resulted in a burden on earnings of EUR 4.9 million in the financial year 2019 (FY 2018: EUR 7.3 million).
Accordingly, the net betting and gaming revenue increased by 2.0% to EUR 117.5 million (FY 2018: EUR 115.1 million).
Further strengthening of brand awareness and expanding the customer base:
Due to the lack of a major sporting event, bet-at-home set its marketing focus of the year on the start of the European football leagues after the summer break in 2019 and expanded its involvement in top European sport to include further cooperations in ice hockey, volleyball, beach volleyball and basketball. Overall, marketing expenses in the financial year 2019 were EUR 39.8 million, therefore higher than in the same period of the previous year (FY 2018: EUR 38.3 million).
As of December 31, 2019, the bet-at-home.com AG Group had a total of more than 5.2 million registered customers (December 31, 2018: 5.0 million).
Earnings development in the financial year 2019:
In financial year 2019, EBITDA was EUR 35.2 million, EUR 1.0 million below the reference value of the same period in the previous year (FY 2018: EUR 36.2 million). Earnings before taxes (EBT) in financial year 2019 reached EUR 33.1 million (FY 2018: EUR 35.0 million).
As a result of a fiscal tax audit, corporate tax back payments in Austria from changes in group transfer pricing and, correspondingly, corporate tax reclaims in Malta resulted in a net additional charge of EUR 13.9 million in income taxes in the financial year 2019. This burden resulted in a group tax rate of 45.7% (FY 2018: 6.8%). The group tax rate for the financial year 2019, adjusted for one-time effects from the fiscal tax audit, is 18.2%.
Overall, the consolidated profit for the period in the financial year 2019 was EUR 18.0 million (FY 2018: EUR 32.6 million).

Booming Games launches Henhouse Hustle: Hold and Win
New farm-themed slot adds Free Spins, Hold and Win, and optional bonus buys priced at 75x and 150x the bet.
Booming Games has launched Henhouse Hustle: Hold and Win, a new farmyard-themed slot featuring a Free Spins mechanic and a Hold and Win bonus. The supplier said the game runs on a 5×3 grid with 20 paylines and offers a maximum win potential of 6,000x.
In the base game, Golden Eggs are stored in a Collection Pot. Free Spins trigger when three Golden Eggs land on the middle reels, with their cash value moved above the reels at the start of the round. Booming Games said that cash value is awarded each time a Golden Egg lands during the feature.
During Free Spins, Boost symbols can increase Egg prizes to the next prize level from one to five times, while an Extra Spins symbol can award between one and five additional spins. The company said Boost symbols can increase to Prize Pot values of 10x-1000x, awarding Mini, Minor, Major and Grand prizes.
The Hold and Win round triggers with five or more Eggs and starts with three respins, with Egg symbols held in place and the respin counter resetting when additional Eggs land. The Grand Prize is awarded when all positions on the grid are filled with Eggs. The release also states that triggering with five or more eggs including three golden eggs activates a Combo Bonus, awarding both Hold and Win and Free Spins in a Super Bonus Round.
Booming Games said players can purchase either the Bonus or the Combo Bonus for 75x and 150x the bet amount respectively, which is guaranteed to trigger the Hold and Win feature. A Boost+ option can also be activated in the base game, increasing the bet amount by 1.25x and increasing the chance of triggering bonus features.
Craig Asling, Director of Games at Booming Games, said: “Packed with a host of innovative new features which offer fast-paced, high stakes gameplay, Henhouse Hustle: Hold and Win is the latest example of Booming Games’ market-leading capabilities. The Fox acts as the antagonist, stealing Golden Eggs and adding a real sense of theatre to the game, which we’re confident will be a hit among players.”

3 Street Sevens
Tom Horn Gaming sprays fresh excitement onto the reels with new slot 3 Street Sevens
Tom Horn Gaming is bringing the energy of the streets to the reels with the launch of 3 Street Sevens, a high-volatility video slot where vibrant graffiti aesthetics meet an action-packed Hold & Win experience.
Set against a gloomy urban underground, the game invites players to ‘Spray the reels. Chase the 7s.’ as colourful spray can symbols gradually paint the iconic sevens, building anticipation before unleashing one of seven unique Hold & Win bonus variations. Combining bold street art, cinematic animations and visible gameplay progression, the game delivers a fresh visual identity that is set to stand out in operator lobbies while giving players more ways to enjoy one of the most popular mechanics.
The game’s Hold & Win FeatureStorm introduces seven possible variations, each determined by the combination of spray symbols that trigger the feature. Green Collector spray symbols gather the values of all coins on the grid, Blue Multiplier sprays boost coin values by up to 10x, while Red Jackpot sprays award fixed jackpot prizes, ranging from Mini, Minor to Major and Grand Jackpot. These mechanics can appear individually or in combination, creating seven distinct bonus experiences that keep gameplay varied and replayability high. The ultimate FeatureStorm bonus brings all three special symbols together, producing rewarding combinations that can dramatically change the outcome of the feature.
Players looking for instant action can also take advantage of two Bonus Buy options. One offers a randomly selected Hold & Win bonus game with up to three active symbols, while the premium option guarantees the complete FeatureStorm experience with all three spray symbols active from the very first respin, giving players direct access to the game’s most rewarding feature combinations.
Commenting on the launch, Ondrej Lapides, CEO at Tom Horn Gaming, said: “3 Street Sevens is another strong addition to our portfolio, combining distinctive visuals with varied Hold & Win gameplay that keeps players engaged. For our operator partners, it offers a fresh, feature-rich title designed to stand out in the lobby and encourage repeat play.”
3 Street Sevens will be available to operators worldwide from 30 July.
