Online sports betting and gaming group Sportingbet said the trends seen in the first nine months of its financial year continued into the final quarter, meaning full-year results will be in line with market performance.
The group's core Australian market remained strong in the final furlong, with net gaming revenues up 93% year-on-year, a gain of 24% on a life-for-like basis.
The integration of Centrebet with Sportingbet Australia was successfully completed one month ahead of schedule in June. As an additional bonus, the group reckons the level of synergies realised from the merger is significantly ahead of original expectations.
