Better Collective leads revenue growth in Q2/2019
The Online Gambling Quarterly regularly provides various in-depth analyses of key financial figures of iGaming companies. In this article the analysts share some revenue growth benchmarks of the recent quarter. In Q2/2019 Better Collective led revenue YoY-growth (compared to the previous year) with an increase of +64% (YoY); the average YoY-growth in the quarter of all online gambling companies analysed was +5%. Regarding the QoQ-growth (compared to the previous quarter Q1/2019) best practice growth was achieved by the Churchill Downs (+51%), PPB/Flutter (+18%), and Zeal/Tipp24 (+12%)
Every quarter the researchers of the Online Gambling Quarterly have a look at the revenue figures of various iGaming companies ranging from operators and IT/service providers to affiliate companies and even cumulated figures of entire markets (e.g., France, Denmark, …). In most cases the figures used are net revenues; however, in a few cases net revenues were not reported, and therefore the analysts took gross revenues or turnover instead.

The Online Gambling Quarterly analyses the total revenue figure across all segments and the revenue development for each vertical. For the Q2/2019 development of the total revenue the researchers provide following insights:
• On average, total revenues (all verticals, …) grew in Q2/2019 by +5% (YoY)
• Best practice growth (YoY) was achieved by Better Collective with +64%.Better Collective is a leading affiliate in the online gambling market. The Q2/2019 revenue grew by 64% to EUR 15.8 million (Q2/2018 = EUR 9.6 million) – organic revenue growth was 18%. The growth was supported by a strong increase of new customers in recent quarters, where the main driver is the increase in underlying sports betting volume. Q2/2019 EBIT before special items increased by 64% to EUR 5.5 million (Q2/2018: 3.4 million). In H1/2019, revenue grew by 79% to EUR 30.7 million – organic revenue growth was 28%.
• Lowest/negative growth – At the bottom of the ranking we find Nektan, Global Gaming, and Ahaworld. (see full ranking here).
Total revenue growth analyses (QoQ) – for more data click here
In many cases the YoY growth rates are exceptionally high due to acquisitions made in a previous quarter – an effect that carries through for consecutive quarters after the acquisition. Therefore, several leading companies in the YoY growth benchmarking have those top positions more or less due to acquisitions made within the 12 months before the analysis. The researchers at Online Gambling Quarterly have therefore decided to also analyse quarter-on-quarter growth (QoQ) benchmarks as well. Those growth rates might be impacted by seasonal effects (e.g., football season vs. no football season) and other changes, but these figures can provide a quick, current overview of the most recent growth dynamics while excluding effects of acquisitions in previous quarters.
• Average growth – On average, revenues changed in Q2/2019 (compared to the previous quarter Q1/2019 – QoQ) by +1%.
• Best practice growth (QoQ) – Best practice growth (QoQ) were achieved by Churchill Downs (+51%), PB/Flutter (+18%), and Zeal/Tipp24 (+12%)

Ivy Casino is a UK-facing online casino brand that launched in 2024 with a focus on delivering a premium, player-centric experience tailored specifically for the UK market.
The brand operates alongside two sister sites, Rose Casino and O’Reels, which also serve UK audiences and share the same commitment to high-quality entertainment, strong user experience and robust responsible gaming standards.
Play’n GO has been one of the leading game suppliers in the UK for many years and is steadfast in its commitment to regulated markets globally.
Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer of Play’n GO, said:
“We are delighted to launch with Ivy Casino in the UK who, like us, are focused on all the key elements of operating within a regulated market framework. I’m sure this is just the beginning of a long and fruitful partnership.”

Esportes da Sorte strengthens brand presence during New Year’s Eve celebrations across four Brazilian capitals
Esportes da Sorte, one of Brazil’s leading online betting platforms, will be the official sponsor of New Year’s Eve celebrations in four Brazilian capitals: Salvador, Recife, Natal and Maceió. The initiative reinforces the brand’s growing presence in the national cultural calendar and its strategy to connect with large-scale public celebrations beyond the digital environment.
New Year’s Eve is one of Brazil’s most significant annual moments, marked by intense domestic travel, international tourism and mass public participation. By supporting celebrations in four key destinations, Esportes da Sorte aligns its brand with tradition, culture and shared experiences that resonate deeply with local communities.
“Sponsoring New Year’s Eve celebrations in four capitals reflects our commitment to being present in moments that bring people together,” said Marcela Campos, Vice President of the Esportes Gaming Brasil Group, owner of the Esportes da Sorte brand. “Supporting these cities means valuing their cultural identity, strengthening local ecosystems and celebrating the people who keep these traditions alive year after year.”
Across all four capitals, the brand will activate its presence through immersive experiences, public-facing activations and the distribution of branded giveaways — a hallmark of Esportes da Sorte’s engagement strategy at major events. The activations are designed to enhance the festive atmosphere while reinforcing the brand’s connection with culture, entertainment and responsible enjoyment.
The New Year’s Eve sponsorships build on Esportes da Sorte’s broader cultural engagement strategy, which includes long-standing support for large-scale events such as Carnatal, in Rio Grande do Norte — a key fixture in the state’s tourism and cultural calendar. Together, these initiatives reflect the company’s commitment to expanding its footprint in cultural sponsorships nationwide.
Esportes da Sorte’s participation also mirrors a wider trend within Brazil’s regulated betting market, as operators increasingly diversify their sponsorship portfolios beyond football. Music, festivals and cultural celebrations have become strategic platforms for brands seeking broader visibility, deeper community ties and more sustainable engagement with the public.

QTech Games, the leading game aggregator for all emerging markets, has announced its latest partnership with live-games provider Holi, allowing its platform clients access to another positively delineated portfolio.
Integrating content from one of the more colourful and creative digital slots providers adds yet more variety to QTech Games’ premier platform, which is taking the widest range of online games to emerging territories with established names sitting alongside the industry’s most exciting up-and-coming providers.

Philip Doftvik, QTech Games’ CEO, said: “We will continue to add fresh content to the platform, prioritising suppliers who provide unique, localised content – and Holi’s light, colourful live games fit the bill perfectly. Their content brings a new level of energy and engagement that we’re thrilled to share across our growing network.”
Inga Vakulcika, Chief Product Officer at Holi, added: “Holi is artfully fusing craft and technology to create more aesthetically pleasing live games that turn local players’ heads – that means captivating, colourful graphics for a top-notch gaming experience.
