The company’s interactive segment revenue increased 10.5% to $349.4m, while its adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed significantly to $9.5m from $62.0m, supported by growth in the US iCasino and Canada.

Snowden added: “Our Interactive segment delivered another quarter of meaningful year-over-year adjusted EBITDA improvement. In the US, standalone Hollywood iCasino experienced quarter-over-quarter as well as year-over-year growth, achieving record quarterly revenues.

‘’In Ontario, gaming operations continued to gain momentum, supported by strong growth in online sports betting (“OSB”) revenues aided by solid World Cup engagement and cross-sell of the reactivated World Cup OSB user base into iCasino. We also successfully launched theScore Bet, as well as theScore Casino and Hollywood iCasino standalone apps, in Alberta on July 13.”
