However, discussing significant events after the reporting period, Gambling.com was keen to mention the Department of Justice’s re-interpretation of the Wire Act and the potential “headwinds” this could create in the US.
Charles Gillespie, Gambling.com Group CEO, said: “The group delivered, again, a record quarter in terms of revenue, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a result of substantial, ongoing organic revenue growth amounting to 62% for the fourth quarter and 37% for the full year.
“The [overall] growth was driven by organic growth in combination with acquisitions.”
