Kindred Group posted yet another very strong quarter for online poker in Q3 2020.

Quarterly revenue of £6.8 million is below that of Q1 and Q2, but both these quarters benefited greatly for Europe-wide lockdowns during the pandemic.

Indeed, for 2020 year to date, Kindred has generated £24 million in online poker—more than the full years of all prior years on record.
