Swedish iGaming playmakers Betsson AB released their Interim Report for the first nine months of the year, ending September 2025, today and it was smiles all around the industry.
Betsson boss Pontus Lindwall and his premier league team have continued to finesse revenue growth and steady profitability across all their global gaming operations.
Group revenue in Q3 was up six percent to €295.8 million (£257.9m), year-on-year; iCasino revenue also rose by the same percentage; sportsbook grew four percent and EBITDA increased by three percent to €82.5 million (£71.92m), with a healthy margin of 27.9 percent.
The number of active customers remained steady at 1.34 million.
Across the first nine months of 2025, Betsson generated total group revenue of €893.1 million (£778.36), up 12 percent year-on-year, with an organic increase of 15 percent. EBITDA for the period was €244.4 million (£212.99m), up six percent; while operating income grew seven percent, compared to the same period in 2024, and reached €199.9 million (£174.17m).
Dividend
Much to the delight of shareholders Betsson’s AGM approved a total dividend of €104.4 million (£90.97) for the half year, distributed in June.
“With the customer in focus, Betsson continues to drive the digitalization of the gaming market globally,” affirmed Lindwall.
“We have a proven, successful product portfolio consisting of both casino and sports betting, as well as a well-diversified mix of revenues from different geographical regions, which lowers the risks of periodically weaker developments in individual products or markets.
“Casino revenue was at a new all-time-high level in the third quarter. Revenue from locally regulated markets increased by 16 percent and accounted for 64 percent of total revenue during the quarter.
World Cup
“The largest growth contribution during the quarter came from Western Europe, where revenue increased by 27 percent, mainly driven by continued strong growth in Italy, where we continue to gain market share in both casino and sports betting.
“Latin America continues to be an important growth region, with 10 percent revenue growth in the quarter, and casino revenue reaching new record levels while sportsbook revenue slowed slightly due to seasonally lower activity.”
“I look forward with confidence to the end of the year and ahead to 2026 with the upcoming World Cup in football.
“Our strong balance sheet enables continued investments in product development and strengthened market positions to support continued stable profit growth and dividends to our shareholders.”
