Gambling.com Posts Robust Results in Q3 2021
Gambling.com Group Limited has reported a robust performance for the third quarter of the year, with the group’s results bolstered by a commitment to organic growth and methodically building up its footprint in the online gambling industry and shored up by the return of the sports season in the US.

Commenting on those results, Gambling.com Group CEO and co-founder Charles Gillespie argued that the company experienced strong third-quarter growth, up 37% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA saw a 34% increase, Gillespie continued. The executive saw the return of the NFL season and other sporting events as drivers of revenue from September onward.
“Importantly, after the quiet summer months of July and August, we delivered all-time-high revenue in September. With the launch of Arizona and the kickoff of the NFL season, we saw a significant uplift in US revenue in September, and our US performance exceeded our internal expectations.”

Present results give the company confidence about its growth trajectory in the fourth trajectory, which will be further boosted by the NBA and other mainstream sporting events, including the restart of all S-tier soccer leagues.
An Eventful Month for Gambling Group
