Increased Sports betting wagering and improved digital performance were the key growth drivers.

The improved performance saw its online betting division generate €67 million in gross win for 2014 (FY 2013: €51 million)

Fortuna management stated that it would continue to invest in its retail betting division, as the operator looks to expand its presence in central European markets. A key corporate focus in 2015 will be to prepare for a re-platforming into a multi-product and -channel

Commenting on company performance, recently appointed CEO and Chairman Per Widerstrom stated

“I am delighted to have got the opportunity to join Fortuna and to lead the Fortuna organisation in these exciting times. The achieved results in 2014, particularly the growth of on-line business and robust profitability confirm that Fortuna is well positioned to become the undisputable leader in the regulated Central European sports betting & gaming sector with the most trusted and exciting multi-channel betting & gaming brand,”
