In a statement the firm said: "The company's Q4 [fourth quarter] key performance indicators (KPI) are ahead of the same period in 2010. Whilst Q4 is traditionally a strong period within the industry, following an exceptional December, the directors' are anticipating that the company's full year results will be ahead of market expectations.

"The company has adjusted its reported KPIs in Q4 to focus on depositing casino players as the directors believe these KPI's better explain the performance of the business and are a more accurate reflection of underlying revenue growth.

"We look forward to the coming year with confidence."

The firm also announced the launch of live roulette on Supercasino.com for iPad and said it will be launching further games for iPhone and tablet throughout the first half of 2012.
