During the period the Group's brand SuperCasino.com embarked on a major sponsorship deal by undertaking the sponsorship of Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother. This initiative proved very successful and contributed to new depositing players increasing by 30% on the same period last year.
The Directors are pleased with the company's continued strong performance and are confident of meeting full year market expectations.
