LONDON (Alliance News) - Online gaming company GVC Holdings PLC on Monday said net gaming revenue continued to grow in the fourth quarter, capping a year of growth for the group in 2015.
Net gaming revenue for the group in the fourth quarter was EUR65.5 million, up 10% year-on-year, and for the full year to the end of December it also rose 10%, to EUR247.7 million.
Sports wagers in the fourth quarter increased 14% year-on-year, up to EUR456.0 million, the group said, slightly slower than the full-year growth rate of 15%.
GVC said it will publish its full-year results in April.
