CEO COMMENT
“ATH revenues in the fourth quarter with growth in all regions“
“Betsson ended 2020 with yet another strong quarter. Under the extraordinary circumstances that still prevail, online gaming continue to demonstrate its resilience to market fluctuations and Betsson demonstrates good profitability. During the fourth quarter, revenues increased by 37 percent compared to the previous year, with growth in all regions, and the operating profit increased by 59 percent. The increase is driven by both casino and sportsbook with a sportsbook margin that was slightly higher compared with the third quarter this year. We are pleased by the continued strong development in the Nordics, especially in Denmark and Sweden, at large driven by the “pay and play” brand Jalla Casino.
There are several reasons for Betsson’s success. The transition to digital entertainment has been further accelerated during the pandemic, which has benefited us, but in the long run Betsson’s underlying strengths are crucial in creating growth and shareholder value. Our long experience and the strong financial position mean that we can continue to implement our strategy with a focus on growth despite current challenges.
During the first nine months of 2020 Betsson made several acquisitions, which together with licenses obtained in other countries, entailed expansion with new brands to new markets while we continued to develop products and functions in existing markets. During the fourth quarter, Betsson continued on this offensive path. We obtained a license in Argentina and launched the Betsafe brand in Kenya. In December, Betsson obtained a license in Colorado, USA and preparations are now underway to launch our highly competitive Sportsbook there in 2021. There is great interest in our Sportsbook and our ambitions are high to develop the B2B offering as a sportsbook supplier. Our first B2B sportsbook customer ibet was intended to launch in time for the Euro 2020 but had to postpone due to the pandemic. ibet has now had a “soft launch” in the European market and we continue to evaluate additional business opportunities.
The pandemic still holds us all in a tight grip and Betsson’s focus is, as always, on safety and health, for our employees and for society in general.
We still face challenges, but we leave 2020 behind and continue with determination to benefit from our strengths to create a strong global and diversified product portfolio of strong brands and local expertise. The strong financial position enables investments in technology and existing product portfolio. And we are confident in our ambition with a scalable and flexible proprietary technology as well as highly dedicated and talented teams”.

Industry Awards
Omnigame celebrates win at SBC Awards Europe

Omnigame, the full-service iGaming business, is celebrating industry recognition after being awarded Gaming Mechanic/Feature of the Year at the SBC Awards Europe.
Hosted at the Hilton Malta, the awards recognised the achievements of the very best operators, affiliates, suppliers, payment providers, and game developers across the European betting and gaming industry.
Omnigame’s creative twist on traditional slot machines, its ‘Wheels of Reels’ mechanic, incorporates ‘wheels’ of differing lengths rather than the traditional rectangular matrix. The innovative spinning mechanic provided a new approach to slot gaming, allowing Omnigame to stand apart from its competition in the category.
The creativity of the mechanic has seen Stream of Luck become one of the most popular games in the Omnigame portfolio.
Peter Weinreich, CEO of Omnigame, said: “Receiving the award that highlights the innovative nature of our ‘Wheels of Reels’ mechanic at the SBC Awards Europe is a massive credit to the whole team at Omnigame. We are incredibly proud of our achievement, which has provided a fresh take on the traditional slot experience.
“We have worked hard to provide exciting games to players, and this recognition of our innovative approach is a fantastic moment for us.”
