Bet365 beats £2bn revenue mark

Bet365 surpassed the £2bn annual revenue milestone for the first time during the 12 months to March 26, 2017, and also achieved year-on-year operating and pre-tax profit growth.

 

Full-year revenue came in at £2.15bn (€2.44bn/$2.83bn), up 39% from £1.65bn in the previous 12-month period, according to a report and financial statements released by the company this week.

Operating profit climbed 15% from £456m to £503m, while pre-tax profit was also up from £459m to £514m.

Bet365 also noted a 27% year-on-year increase on the amount that its customers wagered on sports, while the number of active players jumped 35%.

According to the Racing Post, Denise Coates, joint chief executive of the group with her brother John, cited the impact of the Euro 2016 national team football tournament as one of the main reasons behind the increase in key financials.

Coates also highlighted product enhancements such as the new ‘Edit My Bet’ and ‘Auto Cash Out’ options as key selling points for customers, as well as additions to live content, with the operator now able to stream 140,000 events each year.

In addition, Coates is keen for the company to continue with its expansion plans and build on licences in the UK, Spain, Denmark, Italy, Gibraltar, Malta, Ireland, Australia, Bulgaria and Cyprus.

Given the group’s experience in regulated markets it believes it is well placed to benefit long-term in those countries where sensible regulation is adopted.” said Coates.

Coates also spoke out about Bet365’s commitment to protecting its customers, saying the company “recognises its responsibility to minimise gambling-related harm and to keep crime out of gambling”.

Coates went on saying: “The group is committed to developing an evidence-based approach to responsible gambling; to this end, the group continues to work with research partners on a number of projects to improve its methods of identifying harmful play and deliver more effective harm-minimisation interventions.

The group has also invested in the development of its own predictive algorithms in order to improve the accuracy and reach of existing measures.The scope and reach of Bet365’s predictive system has been expanded with the addition of new markers of potential harm. In addition, a refined set of harm-minimisation interventions has been developed.

More transparency, better tools, a brighter future: MiglioriCasinoItalia revolutionizes the market with new features

More transparency, better tools, a brighter future: MiglioriCasinoItalia revolutionizes the market with new features

 

MiglioriCasinoItalia is evolving, introducing a new suite of features set to transform how users choose where to play online. Already a benchmark in the Italian comparison space, the platform is now doubling down on transparency, responsibility, and advanced tools to help users make more informed decisions.

There are four key new features introduced to the platform. The License Comparator allows users to compare operator licenses instantly, clearly distinguishing between those regulated by ADM and those operating without Italian official authorization. Alongside it, the License Checker enables users to verify the status of an operator’s license in real time.

Soon to be released is the Casino Comparator, a feature that will allow users to compare multiple casinos side-by-side, based on key factors such as welcome bonuses, payment methods, and game selections. With an intuitive interface and customizable filters, users can view platform differences in seconds, making the selection process faster and more efficient.

Rounding up the update is the Playtest Report section, which adds depth to each casino review by showing the team’s hands-on experience with each operator — tested games and achieved outcomes—to ensure an even greater level of transparency.

These innovations come at a pivotal time for the industry. While Italy’s online gaming market is growing, it is also facing increasing regulatory pressure. The new online gambling reform is expected to fully take effect in September, after a deadline extension. This change signals a radical shift on the horizon: higher licensing costs, fewer authorized operators, and a more competitive market. In this changing landscape, MiglioriCasinoItalia positions itself as the go-to, trustworthy guide users can always rely on, providing tools designed to simplify their decision-making.

“Our mission has always been clear: to provide users with concrete, accessible, and up-to-date tools to help them choose where to play — empowering informed decisions,” says Angelo Vecchione, Website Manager of MiglioriCasinoItalia. “These features were developed through close observation of user behavior and from a strong vision for the industry’s future.”

“As the number of licensed operators decreases and their individual market share rises, having a clear and trustworthy go-to resource becomes crucial,” Adds Paolo Strano, Affiliate Manager and market expert at MiglioriCasinoItalia.

MiglioriCasinoItalia has evolved beyond a simple comparison tool: today, it guides, informs, and empowers.

The future of gambling won’t wait. With MiglioriCasinoItalia, users are already part of the next generation of casino comparison.
