The French national football team wasn’t the only winner in the recently concluded World Cup 2018 in Russia.

On Wednesday, UK-listed gambling firm GVC Holdings PLC announced that its net gaming revenue for the first six months of 2018 jumped 8 percent on a constant currency basis, thanks to a vibrant World Cup 2018 betting.

The fair weather during the first half of the year also played a role in the company’s positive net gaming revenue growth story, according to GVC.

Data showed that GVC’s online business saw the fastest growth, up 20 percent on a constant currency basis during the six-month period. A pipeline of new products and high-profile marketing campaigns also continued to be a boon for GVC’s online brand.
