Ep 323: Entain H1 crossfire as Isaacs takes leadership

iGaming Daily closes the week by dissecting the interim results of global gambling’s most speculated firm… Entain.

Headline performance saw FTSE100 firm upgrade its year-end EBITDA guidance (excluding US activities) to above £1bn mark.   

Yet under the bonnet, interim results detailed scars of no financial growth across its UK business, whilst underlying profits continue to be hampered by legal costs concerning its legacy business affairs.

H2 trading sees Entain enter a make-or-break period, as deal-maker Gavin Issacs takes the reins of CEO of a business facing a spectrum/mirage of challenges across all markets and with its investors.

Joining CasinoBeats' Editor, Joe Streeter, is Senior Journalist, Conor Porter, and SBC News' Content Director, Ted Menmuir.
