“Geographical and product balance delivers operational strength”


“Unibet's performance in the third quarter demonstrates the operational strength
of our geographical and product balance.  We have continued to grow our
business, especially in Southern and Eastern Europe.”
“The roll-out of bingo across Europe has continued and we have added Travnet
Live Racing to our product portfolio.”
“Live betting showed a continued growth and gave an important addition to the
sports book and is now counted as an important key differentiator in our
offering.” 
“Given the strong growth still in the online gambling market it is at the end of

in the world has on our business model,”
