Profits for Online Casino Betting Company
Six month results are in for the BlueSquare.com online betting company, and
parent company Rank could not be happier with the overall increase. Across the
board Blue Square reported an increase – and that’s impressive considering how
intense online casino competition in Europe has become. With the U.S. market out
of the running, online casinos are really beginning to target the European
market, and competition only continues to grow. And then consider the number of
gambling companies in varying sectors of the industry becoming a “one stop
shop,” and the level of competition only continues to rise.
But despite this competition, Blue Square turned in impressive six month figures
for the first half of 2007. Blue Square is a subsidiary of Rank, and handles
online casino sportsbooking and betting. Blue Square attributes some of the
across-the-board increase to more than just the growing online casino betting
industry, and more to an aggressive marketing campaign in the UK. With all of
the choices to use for betting and sportsbook activities, name recognition and
repeat customers is key.
Rank reported that Blue Square’s report indicated a 41 percent increase in
revenues from 2006 – making revenue at GBP 26 million now. And not to be out
done, the operating profit showed an increase as well – rising from GBP 3
million in 2006 to GBP 5.5 million. |
