Commenting on the performance 888 CEO Itai Pazner said, "Q3 2021 was a period of outstanding strategic progress for 888. During the period we announced the transformational acquisition of William Hill International, successfully launched SI Sportsbook in the US, and began operating 888sport under a new licence in Germany as we continued to execute our plan to build a global online betting and gaming leader.
"Alongside these important strategic milestones, I am pleased with the group's continued positive trading, particularly as we lap very tough comparative periods.
"This performance reflects the continued success of our data-driven investments and execution against our product-leadership plan that delivers ongoing improvements in the usability, quality and safety of our sports betting and gaming products."
