However, increased customer acquisition costs 💶 in new markets led to an almost 90% drop in profit, which totaled £49.8 million ($60 million) – down significantly 💶 from the £469 million ($565.8 million) profit reported in the prior-year period.
While sports betting revenue declined by 2% year-on-year, gaming 💶 revenue climbed by 25%. The decline in sports gaming revenue was margin-based, as the total amount wagered increased during the 💶 period, and the number of active customers rose by 48%.
As for the sharp drop in profit, the gambling giant primarily 💶 attributes it to £320 million ($386 million) in extra administration expenses, which include advertising in new markets and investment in 💶 IT infrastructure and technology. Recent launches for the brand include Buenos Aires, Argentina; Colorado, US; Ontario, Canada; and the Netherlands.
Elsewhere 💶 in its report, the company noted staff numbers for the period rose to almost 6,100, up from 5,400 in the 💶 prior financial year, meaning staff costs were also up.
