Operator BwinParty has posted a year-on-year total revenue decrease of 6% to €155.3m for the first quarter of 2015.
The decrease has been reported despite a 6% total revenue increase from Q4 2014.
Total net revenue for sports betting went down 10% year-on-year to €58m, while casino and games descended 11% in the same category to €46.8m and total net revenue for poker declined 31% to €16.8m.

BwinParty CEO Norbert Teufelberger said in a press release: “In the period since the end of March, net gaming revenues are up 6% year-on-year, driven by sports betting that is up 25% year-on-year.
“Given our expanding mobile footprint, increased focus on the core business and the associated programme of operational efficiencies, we remain on-track for the full year.”
