Düsseldorf, 23 May 2022
 

Report by the Management Board
Following the challenges of the past fiscal year 2021, the bet-at-home.com AG Group has made a successful start to the new year thanks to the measures and initiatives taken to date. Gross betting and gaming revenue in the first three months of the current financial year amounts to EUR 14.0 million and is thus within expectations for the full year 2022. Our brand is excellently positioned in attractive core markets with high purchasing power. In Germany in particular, we expect the relevant authorities to take rigorous action against unlicensed providers in the foreseeable future. In addition to strengthening our market position in this important core market for bet-at-home, we submitted the application for a national license for online sports betting and online gaming in the Netherlands as planned at the end of March 2022. We expect future licensing in the Netherlands and other markets to provide us with further legal certainty in licensed markets, especially as national licenses will continue to gain in importance in EU member states.
 

Earnings development in the first quarter 2022
