Spelinspektionens generaldirektör Camilla Rosenberg och chefsjurist Johan Röhr deltog nyligen i det årliga mötet för de nordiska spelmyndigheterna. Genom dessa möten stärker vi samarbetet mellan de nordiska spelmyndigheterna, och som vanligt var det mycket intressant och lärorikt. I år hölls mötet i Odense, Danmark, där vi bland annat fick ta del av utvecklingen i Finland mot en omreglering av spelmarknaden. Vi fick veta mer om hur den norska spelmyndigheten arbetar mot illegal spelreklam på sociala medier via influencers. Från Danmark fick vi höra om spelmyndighetens initiativ för att öka ungdomars medvetenhet om riskerna med spel om pengar. Vilket även var ett ämne som Spelinspektionen tog upp på mötet. Att mötas och utbyta erfarenheter är ovärderligt för att skapa en trygg nordisk spelmarknad.

🚨 We have Breaking News! 🚨 We're delighted to announce the launch of 'Breaking News', a continuation of our 'Never Ordinary' global brand platform, first launched last August by bet365 and Creative Agency Partner, Drummond Central The start of the 24/25 Premier League marked the launch of our epic 'Breaking News' television advert campaign, with the marathon-winning “Fridge Man” making his debut in bet365’s new brand advert, ahead of kick-off in the Premier League opener between Manchester United and Fulham. With a sports news network at the centre of the campaign, watch as news anchors cover an array of extraordinary sporting moments across a day. From a football player scoring a goal from hanging off the spider cam, a tennis player returning the ball from row 6, all the way to a man with a fridge on his back winning a marathon. The spot places these Never Ordinary moments within a live, In-Play world, perfectly showcasing what bet365 is best known for. Chloe Shrubb, bet365's Global Head of Brand Marketing, commented: “bet365 is back with Never Ordinary, and this year, the challenge is even greater. We’ve got a hard act to follow from last year's successful campaign and it's only the second year of a very different and evolving direction for bet365. I’m really excited about this creative, it’s a beautifully simple idea that really articulates how bet365 elevates moments. We are absolutely unique, standout and we’re Never Ordinary.” bet365 are also proud to incorporate responsible gambling into the new ‘Breaking News’ creative platform. We will continue with our PLAY SAFE | bet365 campaign, and have produced a standalone advert within the Breaking News environment to fully support our responsible gambling message. #bet365 #BreakingNews #NeverOrdinary

We’re excited to share our Q2 2024 earnings today. Here are the highlights that show strong growth across the business 👇 ☑ The US led the way. FanDuel extended its #1 position in online sportsbook and iGaming, with revenue and AMP (Average Monthly Player) growth both accelerating. Growth was impressive across both new and existing states - as we made product enhancements to our NBA and MLB offering and added new gaming titles. ☑ Outside of the US, the European Football Championship, the “Euros”, saw 4m customers placing bets, driving strong AMP growth and revenue in Flutter UK & Ireland, alongside iGaming momentum. ☑ In Flutter International, revenue growth accelerated due to the strong AMPs growth, the Euros and Indian Premier League. We launched Same Game Parlays in Italy, where Sisal reached a record market share. All of this was made possible through our distinctive competitive advantage, the Flutter Edge. We're excited to head into the second half of 2024 with raised guidance and an Investor Day on September 25, where we will outline Flutter’s exciting growth potential.
