The global index provider’s quarterly reviews are intended to portray an accurate reflection of the market they represent.

As a result of mitigating actions, the operator reduced its EBITDA impact estimations to approximately £50m ($62.6m) per month during the pandemic.

For the full-year 2019, 888 saw revenue increase 6% year-on-year, to a group record of $560.3m.
