A GROWING FOOTPRINT IN NORTH AMERICA

North America map

North America

The United States and Canada have grown rapidly in recent years to become our largest market. Almost half of all US states have legalised online sports betting and a smaller number also regulate casino gaming. We provide content for sports bettors and casino and poker players in numerous states – from Michigan to New Jersey, New York to Pennsylvania and Ohio to Arizona. In 2022, Ontario became the first Canadian province to legalise both online sports betting and casino gaming. The potential for future growth is clear given that California, Texas and Florida – the three most populous US states – have yet to approve online sports betting or casino gaming.

Europe

Navigating a changing European landscape, our current path prioritises a concentrated and deep focus on the Italian market. This strategic decision has seen us exit a number of European markets over the years, redirecting resources and expertise to where our performance and returns are strongest. In Italy, we maintain our leading position through a mix of localised content production, savvy SEO strategies and brands finely tuned to the local audience.

Latin America

In Latin America we are steadily building a strong portfolio of brand assets, with close to 20 live websites. These are primarily in Brazil and in regulated markets including Colombia and Argentina. We are moving forward especially in performance marketing with a focus on sports betting, and are seeing aggressive growth in traffic. Investments are continuing in order to unlock the substantial growth potential we see ahead
