Entain plc, a leader in the global sports betting and gaming industry, experienced a robust performance and impressive momentum in the first half of 2025. On Tuesday, the company unveiled its Interim Results, highlighting the achievements of the six months ending June 30, 2025.
Reported total net gaming revenue in H1 was particularly pleasing
Entain's remarkable performance in the first half of this year is something to celebrate, with revenue skyrocketing by 7% compared to the same period last year. This impressive growth, crucially, includes the earnings from BetMGM, where Entain holds a significant 50% stake. The company’s total group net gaming revenue (NGR) for H1 was described as particularly pleasing, especially considering that last year’s second quarter was buoyed by the Euros tournament. Breaking it down, the first quarter of 2025 saw a 9% year-over-year increase in total group NGR, setting a strong tone for the year. Continuing this positive trend, the second quarter experienced a 5% rise over the same period in 2024. Even more promising were the gains in the UK and Ireland markets, where revenues surged by 10% in Q1 and 8% in Q2, contributing to a robust 9% increase in NGR for the first six months of the year. However, while there was a slight 2% decline in revenue from Entain's international segment for H1 2025, the Central and Eastern Europe operations provided a bright spot with a 5% year-over-year growth. BetMGM's performance stood out in H1 as well. Entain highlighted that the results exceeded expectations, attributing this success to strategic execution that continues to drive strong, profitable growth, in alignment with their updated FY25 outlook.
The company's CEO is delighted with the outstanding performance of Entain and BetMGM
In the first half of 2025, the company proudly celebrated its remarkable achievements beyond just financial victories. A standout moment was appointing Stella David as the permanent CEO, ensuring stability and the continuation of proven leadership. Stella expressed her thrill over the impressive progress and robust performance of Entain and BetMGM in the first half of the year, as shared in a press release to Casino House Group News. I am truly excited by the ongoing momentum and the strong performance showcased by both Entain and BetMGM in the first half of 2025, Entain's CEO remarked warmly. She further highlighted the ongoing transformation journey of Entain, noting, Our transformation is gathering speed, backed by our top-quality portfolio of iconic brands, holding leading positions in attractive markets. Lastly, the CEO acknowledged the company’s strengthening position, with the latest results underscoring the triumph of its strategic approach. Earlier this summer, it was confirmed that Dean Shannon, the CEO for Australia and New Zealand, will soon be departing the company.
