During the quarter we launched innovative live casino offerings for both Skybet and RAY, along with a powerful web and mobile sport offering for the newly launched GazzaBet website for RCS Media in Italy. This represents the first phase of a full turnkey solution, and we expect to launch casino and mobile casino in due course.

We started to deliver on our turnkey strategy with three licensees moving their UK-facing activity to the Playtech white label structure, strengthening our position as a key provider and demonstrating the financial and operational benefits that can be achieved by using our turnkey offering.

Looking ahead, the management team is confident of exceeding current market expectations for the full year.”
