A Growing Online Casinos Market Leads to Profits
The market place is a give and take situation and naturally not all of the
online casinos and gambling sites in operation all over the world can flourish,
even in this growing gambling market. But there are the few companies that seem
to have profit guarantees in place, especially after turning over positive H1
results for 2008. The first half of 2008 has proven tough for a great many
online casinos and gambling companies and some were even forced to close their
doors this month in light of the slowing economy and the finicky nature of the
online gambling industry.
Bwin though has come out on the other side of a tough start of the year with
flying colors according to the recent H1 report released. The report indicated
that H1 gross gaming revenues have increased a whopping 25.6 percent. Net Gaming
revenues showed an even higher increase – up 32.7 percent. Bwin has several
divisions within the company, and on the whole, all of the divisions showed very
high increases from the previous half-year results.
Other high performing divisions include sportsbetting with gross gaming revenues
up 37 percent and online casinos up 13.7 in net gaming revenue. Importantly and
perhaps accounting for the surge in profit sis the fact that Bwin increased its
base of active players by 31 percent. Internet gambling companies are able to
use incentive programs and other loyalty offers as a way to have high retention
rates for gamblers – online gamblers have a lot of choices when it comes to
choosing a gambling company and Bwin does a fantastic job not only gaining new
loyal players, but retaining established accounts. |
