However, the revenue for the second quarter of this year also represents a growth of 16% of revenue generated by operators. This is due, in part, to the migration of DraftKings to its technological betting platform.
The report showed that, concerning this first half of the year, Kambi had total revenue of $72.5 million), a year-on-year drop of 17%. At that time, it had revenue of $87.2 million for the six-month period.

The product trajectory we are on, coupled with our healthy balance sheet and the positive underlying financial results, means we are on a solid footing for the future, said Kambi Group CEO Kristian Nylén.
In addition, Kambi recorded EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) in the second quarter of $11.7 million. This, too, was a decrease, as the company dropped 47% compared to the $22.1 million a year ago.

However, the company sees brighter days ahead. Going forward, it won t have to worry about figuring in the DraftKings loss or the new licenses its partner companies had to purchase.
In addition, the company s operating portfolio is constantly expanding. Late last year, it and has since connected with Mohegan Gaming Entertainment. It is also moving into Canada and Mexico and is expanding its agreement with betPARX, a multistate gaming operator in the US. Currently, the company is active in 17 states across the US.
Nylén also highlighted the company s Bet Builder offer, the in-event and multi-event betting solution. In addition, he sees substantial room for growth, adding that the company will develop new and interesting products at a higher speed.
He says this will open new revenue streams that will help Kambi experience expansion in all directions.
The company is coming off a big win last month at the EGR B2B awards. It received the award for best sportsbook platform supplier, innovation in sports betting software and sports betting supplier.
