Good Year for Bwin

Bwin investors must be issuing a sigh of relief at this point, now that the year-end financial results indicate that the company ended in the year with net profits. The 2006 financial year was tough for Bwin as the company announced extremely significant losses or Euro 539.6 million. This year shows a marked turnaround for the sportsbook and online casino poker gambling company. The company’s year-end report shows that not only has the company regained positive operating profits, but is in the clear across the board.

Bwin is based out of Austria and operates in the European online casinos poker gambling and sportsbetting market. The company has a strong foothold in the European gambling market and this year’s successful sports season largely contributed to the company’s positive year-end results. The losses in 2006 were reportedly related to Bwin’s Ongame division, which contributed to the tanked profits in the fourth quarter of the year, but the withdrawal from the US gambling market following questionable U.S. online casinos gambling legislation caused some serious losses for the company.

But all of that aside, the online casinos sportsbook announced net profits of Euro 50.4 million and operating profits of an impressive Euro 72.8 million. At this point, Bwin is successfully focusing on maintaining the company’s current betting market which is only showing profits at this point, as well as focusing on expanding the company’s online casinos poker gambling offerings. Poker and sportsbetting are the two areas in which the company really excelled and saw a promising growth.
