Smarkets CEO Jason R. Trost said: "I'm incredibly excited about 2019 and I want to thank everyone for their contribution and commitment to getting the company into such a great position during the last year.

"Smarkets can push ahead with expanding our activities; focusing on the more profit-generating areas of our business and more efficiently monetising our growing trading volume, as well as taking the company out into the huge sportsbook sector and new international markets."
