Betsson reports record revenue driven by World Cup

Gaming operator Betsson has announced its second-quarter financial results, revealing an operating profit of 42.2 million euros. This figure represents a decrease from the 69.0 million euros reported in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. However, analysts had anticipated a larger profit decline, with the average forecast standing at 39.8 million euros, according to Bloomberg.

The company's revenue saw a 2% increase, reaching 310.2 million euros. Betsson attributed this growth to "record high revenues in the wake of the football World Cup," as stated in their report. CEO Pontus Lindwall highlighted the tournament's positive impact, noting that it provided a significant boost into the third quarter.

Lindwall further elaborated that the average daily revenues from the start of the third quarter up to July 13 have been 14% higher than the average daily revenue for the entire third quarter of 2025. This suggests a sustained positive effect from the football event on the company's financial performance.
