Of these, 223,617 are customers of iGame Group and Stan James Online. “Strong performance across all brands and successful acquisitions deliver 65 per cent increase in Gross winnings revenue (42 per cent in constant currency, of which 27 per cent is pure organic growth)” "High activity levels driven by the ability to retain the customers from the Euro tournament that started in the second quarter has led to a continued gain in market shares. Margin in the sportsbook was in line with the prior year and the long-term averages, so it was pure activity growth that delivered a new all -time high in Gross winnings revenue of GBP 142.3 million.” “Of the Group’s Gross winnings revenue 33 per cent was from locally regulated markets. Gross winnings revenue from the mobile channel more than doubled in GBP and accounted for 64 per cent of the total Gross winnings revenue generation in the third quarter.” “It is of course particularly satisfying that the excellent top line growth converted into a new all-time high in EBITDA, demonstrating again the scalability of the Group’s business model which is structured to meet the future challenges of further regulation.” “All our brands performed very well in the third quarter. The Group underlying EBITDA grew by 38 per cent in constant currency. If iGame Group and Stan James Online had been part of the Group for the full third quarter 2015, their combined EBITDA would have grown by 95 per cent in constant currency.” “In the period from 1 to 30 October 2016, average daily Gross winnings revenue in GBP was close to 50 per cent higher compared to the same period in 2015. Adjusting for the impact of exchange rate changes, the constant currency growth was 20 per cent,” says Henrik Tjärnström, CEO of Unibet Group.
