Mixed Results In the United States

The Australian company has a growing presence in the United States market, but the results generated there in the first quarter are not entirely positive. The betting handle did grow by 50 percent year-on-year to 523.8 million Australian dollars in the first quarter, but then recorded a drop of 24 percent compared to the previous quarter.

The same thing happened with net profits from sports betting, which recorded a 78 percent increase year-on-year before seeing a drop of 6 percent compared to the previous quarter. However, the iGaming sector did a lot better in the United States, recording a staggering increase of 229 percent year-on-year.

PointsBet also recorded great results in Canada, even though it launched in the country in 2022. The company’s handle in the country went up by 31 percent compared to the previous quarter and revenue went up by 138 percent. The iGaming sector also delivered great results, rising 96 percent.

The company’s results in Australia were not that good, the betting handle dropped by 3 percent compared to the same quarter last year and revenue was just 73 million Australian dollars, down 17 percent year-on-year. That led to a profits decrease of 13 percent compared to the previous fiscal year and 14 percent compared to the last quarter.
