This illustrates the effectiveness of our growth strategy, the unique capabilities of the Entain platform, and the underlying strength of our diversified global business.
“I am delighted that we have welcomed even more customers to our brands across the world. This is a testament to our relentless focus on the customer, as well as the quality of our products, content and talented people.”
Andersen continued: “In the US, BetMGM continues to be the clear leader in the iGaming market, and the successful start to the NFL season also highlights the strength of our growing US sports betting offer.

However, our diversified revenue base and robust business model enable us to remain confident in our ability to deliver on our growth and sustainability strategy.”
