– 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).

Emerging-markets leader expands its content portfolio with standout games from a bold, impactful supplier
QTech Games, the leading game aggregator for emerging markets, has continued to build the strong momentum in its premium pipeline, thanks to its latest deal with Shady Lady, a bold disruptive force in the slots sector. The launch extends Shady Lady’s international footprint, unlocking untapped emerging markets for diversified growth.
This timely integration adds yet more creative muscle to QTech’s aggregation platform, which is taking the widest array of online games to emerging territories with established names sitting alongside the industry’s most exciting and innovative providers.
Accordingly, Shady Lady is already one of the most mercurial and exciting game studios in the industry. And this integration with a genuine emerging force pens another thrilling addition to QTech Games’ sprawling and well-curated library of immersive gaming experiences.
Think: enigma, wrapped in a riddle, parcelled into a variety of eye-catching packages – as evidenced by a string of recent hits like Brain Washed, Devil’s Finger and Office Party. In short, it’s all about daring to be different and norm-busting in an increasingly homogenised slots space. All of which makes Shady Lady a compelling new character in any portfolio – one that wins its audiences over by preferring nuance to clanging bells and whistles, upending outdated themes and copycat narratives with clever plot-twists and engaging story-rich features.
QTech Games’ CEO, Philip Doftvik, said: “At QTech, we’re about so much more than pure aggregation – just take our sought-after campaign tools, or AI-powered QT Play game lobby, which means that operators don’t have to build their own casino lobby. Naturally, we’re committed to rolling out high-quality content that drives revenue for our partners and creates unique experiences that users remember and return to play.
“Shady Lady understands this need and is already delivering in spades with some bold and beautiful games that reinvigorate tired themes and play with conventional expectations. Alongside immersive soundscapes, stunning visuals and inventive mechanics, Shady Lady excels at fusing creativity with maths to craft visually thrilling, high-performing games that push the envelope on player experience and online hang-time.”
Marla Singer, spokesperson for Shady Lady, added: “Shady Lady isn’t here to throw shade on traditional slots – we are here to disturb the peace a little. It’s a call to arms for fresh mechanics, striking design, and soundscapes that linger. We believe in games that surprise you, characters that don’t behave, and stories that veer off script. Others chase noise. We tune into the frequency beneath. It’s a quieter kind of rebellion – but it leaves a mark. We don’t follow the rules. We rewrite them. Sometimes in lipstick.”

Reflex Gaming, the UK’s largest independently owned omni-channel game supplier, is making waves once again with the launch of Big Game Fishing Golden Catch™, the latest online release in its hugely popular Big Game Fishing franchise, and proudly powered by Yggdrasil.
This thrilling new slot reels players into a bright and breezy lake, where Reflex’s iconic fisherman, Fred, returns for another unforgettable adventure. With a 5-reel, 3-row layout, high volatility, and a max win potential of 5,000x the stake, Golden Catch is bursting with fun, flair, and fishy fortune.
A standout feature in the game is Max Play Mode, an alternate version of the base game that can be played at the same bet value. In this mode, only Fish, Fisherman and Bonus symbols appear on the reels – turning every spin into a high-stakes hunt for cash prizes. All other symbols are removed, replaced by weight icons that keep the focus firmly on big catch potential.
Golden Bet offers a clever twist for players eager to reach Free Spins. By increasing their stake by just 1.5x, players unlock the Bonus Respin feature. When two Bonus symbols land, the remaining reels respin, offering a second chance to land the Bonus.
Another feature which is sure to be a fan favourite is Hook a Bonus. At the end of a base game spin, fishing rods can randomly appear above the reels. A line will be thrown containing a hook, hooks can pull Bonus symbols onto the reels, creating Free Spins triggers that keep engagement levels high.
During the Free Spins feature, players begin at a level determined by how many Bonus symbols triggered the round—starting with 10 spins at Level 1 and up to 20 spins at Level 4. Every Fisherman collected not only grabs all visible Cash Fish values but also pushes the player along a nine-stage collection trail. Reaching new milestones upgrades fish values and awards additional spins, creating a satisfying sense of progression and reward.
To add to the excitement, Dual Gamble gives players the option to risk any win for either a bigger cash prize or the chance to enter the Free Spins bonus. It’s a high-risk, high-reward decision point that brings tension and strategy into the mix. For those who prefer to jump straight into the action, a Bonus Buy is available, allowing instant access to Free Spins for 125x the stake.
With bold visuals, Big Game Fishing: Golden Catch™ delivers all the hallmarks of a Reflex favourite. The franchise has already seen huge success across both online and land-based sectors, and this latest evolution is set to cast its net even wider.
Mat Ingram, CPO at Reflex Gaming, said: “Big Game Fishing: Golden Catch™ builds on one of our most beloved brands and injects it with new layers of excitement. Players will love the sense of momentum and the thrill of the chase – especially with the Max Play and Hook a Bonus features keeping things lively.
“It’s a fun, focused slot that still delivers serious potential. We expect this one to become a flagship performer in operator lobbies.”
