Commenting on his company's performance Betsson AB President and CEO Magnus Silfverberg said, "We accomplished a lot in 2012 within the Betsson Group. One of the major events was the acquisition of NGG. This acquisition gives Betsson a stronger brand portfolio, a product mix more geared towards Sportsbook, and a stronger presence in the market-place."

"Today, Betsson is the largest non state-owned publicly traded online gaming operator in the Nordic countries. With that said, we believe that there is still plenty of room for growth in this market. These growth initiatives, together with the product and brand expansion on Betsson’s core markets, will enable the Group to continue growing faster than the market and to continue building a stronger company for the future, drawing on our experience from 50 years of embracing change."
