ZEAL Network SE, Germany’s leading online provider of lottery products, generated first-half revenue of €121.8 million in the first six months of 2026, an increase of 20% and the highest first-half revenue in the company’s history (H1 2025: €101.5 million).

ZEAL also continued its successful business development with double-digit growth in both new customer acquisition and EBITDA. The number of newly registered customers increased by 32% to a record 659 thousand (H1 2025: 499 thousand). EBITDA improved by 10% to €38.9 million (H1 2025: €35.4 million).

“The first-half results confirm that our strategy is delivering: we are continuing to grow our core German business while at the same time diversifying ZEAL through our own scalable products. With freiheit+, the successful Traumhausverlosung and the newly launched Traumautoverlosung, we have established offerings that complement our strong market position while reducing our dependence on jackpot cycles. These are excellent prerequisites for sustainable profitable growth,” said Dr Stefan Tweraser, CEO of ZEAL Network SE.

Andrea Behrendt, CFO of ZEAL Network SE, added: “We delivered double-digit growth in both revenue and EBITDA while continuing to invest selectively in new products, technology and the further development of our organisation. At the same time, we managed our marketing investments flexibly in line with market conditions and jackpot developments, achieving a high level of efficiency in new customer acquisition. This enables us to combine profitable growth with the investments required to further scale our proprietary product categories and our platform.”
