"I am pleased to report that 888 has delivered another strong performance in Q4, completing an excellent and indeed record-breaking year for the Group in terms of revenue. Our strong result has again been driven by the progress we have made in newly regulated markets as well as a continued excellent performance in Casino and further market share gains in Poker, where we are now ranked Number 2 in the Pokerscout** global rankings.

 

During Q4 we successfully launched in New Jersey and Delaware, making us the only operator live in all three regulated US states, with our Poker platforms achieving market-leading positions in New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware. This remarkable achievement is testament to the strength of our product, technology and marketing as well as the hard work, dedication and talent of our team.

 

We have continued to enhance our mobile and tablet product offering in this increasingly important growth sector of the industry and source of customer acquisition. This has contributed to the Group delivering a very pleasing 19 per cent increase year on year in real money registered customer accounts across Casino, Poker and Sport."
