This outstanding accomplishment propelled their initial six-month revenue to €30.7 million, signifying a notable 79% upswing year-over-year.
A primary catalyst for this triumph was the extraordinary influx of fresh depositing clients (NDCs), which fueled an 18% inherent revenue escalation.

Throughout the second quarter, they reinforced their standing in the American market by procuring a 60% ownership in the RotoGrinders Network for $21 million, with intentions to acquire the remaining portions over the subsequent few years.
Further solidifying their American footprint, Better Collective obtained authorization from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement to forge revenue-sharing collaborations within the state. They also procured the holdings of Florida-based Vegasinsider.com and Scoresandodds.com for an aggregate of $20 million.
Jesper Søgaard, Chief Executive Officer of Better Collective, conveyed his excitement, affirming that these strategic acquisitions and alliances have solidly positioned the company within the burgeoning US sports wagering sector. He anticipates that their American operations are primed to evolve into their most substantial growth driver in the approaching years. This assurance is underpinned by the company’s impressive first-half results, which demonstrated a 28% year-on-year expansion in inherent revenue.
Excluding singular occurrences, profit before deductions for interest, levies, asset devaluation, and intangible amortization (EBITDA) witnessed a substantial leap of 124%, attaining €13 million.
