GVC Holdings are hailing the performance of their B2B unit after it posted significant growth in the first half of the year. Revenues for the entire division were up from €7.7k per day to €164.2k per day. Much of this was down to the service agreement it signed with East Pioneer Corp – the company that bought Sportingbet’s Turkish brand. That meant sports wagers rose to €1.3 million per day as opposed to just €80k this time last year.
Their B2C business posted modest growth with revenues up 4 percent to €106k per day and revenues from the company’s South American Betboo brand were up 32 percent to €28k per day. CasinoClub saw a decline of 4 percent to €78k, something that GVC put down to “ongoing consumer uncertainty in Germany.”
