Bet-at-home Publishes First Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Bet-at-home has published its financial results for the first quarter of 2022.
Report by the Management Board
Following the challenges of the past fiscal year 2021, the bet-at-home.com AG Group has made a successful start to the new year thanks to the measures and initiatives taken to date. Gross betting and gaming revenue in the first three months of the current financial year amounts to EUR 14.0 million and is thus within expectations for the full year 2022. Our brand is excellently positioned in attractive core markets with high purchasing power. In Germany in particular, we expect the relevant authorities to take rigorous action against unlicensed providers in the foreseeable future. In addition to strengthening our market position in this important core market for bet-at-home, we submitted the application for a national license for online sports betting and online gaming in the Netherlands as planned at the end of March 2022. We expect future licensing in the Netherlands and other markets to provide us with further legal certainty in licensed markets, especially as national licenses will continue to gain in importance in EU member states.
Earnings Development in the First Quarter 2022
Personnel expenses decreased by EUR 0.6 million year-on-year to EUR 4.4 million in the first quarter of 2022 due to the headcount reduction announced in December. At EUR 3.5 million, marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2022 were lower than in the same period of the previous year. The marketing focus in the current financial year will be on the advertising measures surrounding the Football World Cup in Qatar in the fourth quarter of 2022. Other operating expenses in the first quarter of 2022 amount to EUR 5.1 million. EBITDA in the first quarter of 2022 was EUR -1.4 million.
Stable Asset and Capital Structure
Group equity as at 31/03/2022 totals EUR 14.3 million (31/12/2021: EUR 17.0 million). Cash and cash equivalents within the bet-at-home.com AG Group totalled EUR 42.1 million as of March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021: EUR 42.0 million).
Outlook for the Fiscal Year 2022
The Management Board continues to expect the bet-at-home.com AG Group to generate gross betting and gaming revenue of between EUR 50 million and EUR 60 million in the 2022 financial year. For the financial year 2022, the bet-at-home.com AG Group continues to expect EBITDA to break even at between EUR -2 million and EUR 2 million.

Eagerly anticipated release now confirmed following a highly successful exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive
Play’n GO has today announced the official US release of its hit title Colt Lightning Firestorm, following a three-week period of exclusivity with Rush Street Interactive brands BetRivers and SugarHouse.
Colt Lightning Firestorm was released in Europe and other jurisdictions in May 2024, and its release in the US comes with much fanfare following the game’s rave reviews in its short exclusivity period. The game is a sequel to the wildly popular Colt Lightning game which was released early last year, and indications at this stage suggest that this sequel may prove even more successful.
This announcement sees Colt Lightning Firestorm available to players in each state and operator with whom Play’n GO is licensed. Play’n GO first entered the online casino market in the US in 2022, and has reiterated its commitment to becoming active in every regulated market around the world.
Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Play’n GO said: “We’re excited to unveil Colt Lightning Firestorm to the wider online casino gaming community in the US, and have been very pleased to see its strong performance during its exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive. We had high hopes for the game following the success of its predecessor, and we’re confident that these robust results will continue now that the game is available to an even bigger audience.”
