As the halt of European sports led to a drop in sales in the online sports betting segment, the expansion of esports as well as sport events in “more exotic” leagues kept up the betting offer within the bet-at-home.com AG Group.
The online gaming segment remained nearly unaffected by any protective measures due to the purely virtual variety of entertainment offers and was responsible for 57.6 per cent of gross betting and gaming revenue in the first quarter of 2020.
Overall, gross betting and gaming revenue in the first quarter of 2020 was €32.2m, 13.4 per cent below the previous year's figure. The decline in gross betting and gaming revenue is mainly due to the loss of essential parts of the Swiss market and the significant decline in the Polish market.
