- Business highlights for the quarter
During the first three months of 2011 Betbull's core business in Germany
has performed well and stable even though it is operating in a still vague
legislative environment with a steadily increasing grey market offering.
The good results obtained can be attributed to the strengthening of the
group's team while having reduced the total overhead costs and well
considered investments in fully licensed retail betting outlets and gaming
halls.
Commenting on today's press release Alexander Leip, Managing Director of
Betbull Holding SE, said:
'Now with the clear focus on the German market we are confident to meet all
challenges of a regulated and liberalised gambling and sports betting
market. We are hopeful that the legislative body in Germany will establish
adequate and fair regulations on gaming which will abandon the years of
legal uncertainty in the sector of sports betting. Betbull is currently
evaluating various strategic partnering options. Thanks to our expertise
and good reputation we are looking forward facing the challenges ahead.'
