On Tuesday, Ladbrokes issued a trading update covering the three months ending Sept. 30, in which overall revenue improved 12%, despite “two very painful, loss-making meetings” at this year’s Glorious Goodwood and the Ebor meeting in York.

Digital revenue jumped 48.2%, spurred by a nearly one-third rise at the Ladbrokes.com site and Lads’ betting exchanges. Online sportsbook revenue surged 48% and mobile stakes rose nearly one-third, representing 79% of all digital stakes. Online gaming improved nearly 24%, the 8th straight quarter of year-on-year growth.
