FL Entertainment saw revenue of €489.3m in its online sports betting and gaming segment in H1, up by 23.3% year-on-year.

FL Entertainment’s online sports betting and gaming segment is generated by the Betclic Everest Group, which owns both German-facing Bet-at-home.com and Betclic.

Bet-at-home H1 cost-cutting pushes earnings despite revenue decline

German-facing sports betting and igaming operator Bet-at-home.com announced the business’ cost-cutting measures has tripled the company’s EBITDA, despite an overall decline in revenue.

Bet-at-home’s gross gambling revenue stood at €24.2m in H1 2023. This was a 9.3% fall from the €26.7m the business achieved in the same period the previous year.

The FL Entertainment-owned company said this resulted from regulatory developments in Germany. It represents the operator’s largest single source of revenue.

In particular, Bet-at-home highlighted the impact of the monthly betting limits Germany implemented from 1 July 2022.

These limits – which were implemented as part of the country’s Fourth State Treaty on Gambling – include a €1 per spin stake limit for online slots.

The operator also highlighted a weaker than expected development of the online gaming segment. This is a trend it also blamed on enhanced regulation from the previous year.
