Current trading and prospects
Our investment in operational infrastructure is substantially complete and we
are already seeing the positive effects of this. Key performance points since
the end of the interim period include:
- excellent World Cup taking in excess of 5 million in bets, returning a
gross profit margin of over 8%
- new registrations increased threefold over the World Cup season
- expected to be profitable at the EBITDA level in Q3
The functionality of the OpenBet system allows rapid building and integration of
new Sportsbook and Casino websites which provides IGH with a competitive
advantage when entering discussions with third parties interested in running a
white label site. This avenue for growth is of particular interest to the Group
as it represents an opportunity to access markets in other high margin
territories that IGH is currently not operating in. These opportunities can be
exploited quickly and at relatively low cost. The creation of white label deals
increases the Groups customer database and subsequently increases marketing
opportunities.
