Comments from David Gray, CEO of Angler Gaming

“We are happy with the ATH in both revenues and profits for H1 2018 compared to the previous year 2017. Also, in Q2 an ATH in customer deposits was recorded underlying that activity across all our offers is going strong. Nonetheless, since most of our revenues are coming from casino the World Cup had a negative effect on our revenues. Also, higher customer winnings than normal resulted in lower revenues than the previous quarter. This trend continued in July but August has started well. PremierGaming Ltd. on the 20th July 2018 successfully obtained an MGA license. On the 1st September 2018 we will launch the first client offer from this subsidiary in at least one market. We are expecting revenues from PremierGaming Ltd. in the coming months. As always, we will continue to streamline our processes and work on our strategy of having a fast-organic growth and controlling costs.”

Events in Q3 2018               

  •  A decrease in the daily average net gaming revenues in July 2018 when compared to the daily average of Q2 2018. However, the first days of August showed a significant increase in the daily average in net gaming revenues.
  •  More suppliers will be added to the new subsidiary PremierGaming. PayNPlay solution from Trustly was implemented in Q2 and will be launched on the 1st September 2018.
