Revenue increased organically by 38 percent, with sustained positive developments in both sports betting and casino. Geographically, revenue increased in all regions except for the Nordics. 

The new business in Argentina is developing well, revenue increased strongly during the quarter, and Betsson continues to invest in marketing to build brand awareness in this regulated market. In February, a third license in the country was obtained, in the province of Cordoba, where a launch will take place later this year. Revenue from B2B continues to increase, which is a sign of strength that reflects the investments made in the past years into product and tech development as well as M&A. Thanks to Betsson’s scalable business model, these investments can be absorbed with maintained or higher profitability over time. EBIT increased by 82 percent and the EBIT margin was 19.4 (13.9) percent during the quarter.
