Unibet Online Poker Revenues on Positive Track
Key Takeaways
  • The third quarter of 2014 produced £2 million of revenue, up from the £1.7 million of the second quarter. The increase is expected as revenues typically rise as the market emerges from the Summer low, but the 17.6% increase confirms that the company’s online poker strategy is on the right track.
  • Last year Unibet took a major decision to develop its own software platform and leave the iPoker network. The decision is starting to pay off as poker revenues recover well from the Summer low.
