For the first time since leaving the Microgaming Poker Network (MPN), Unibet Poker started to show signs of encouraging growth with the company's poker revenues going up 12 percent in Q2 of 2015 in a year-over-year comparison.
In a conference call held on Aug. 5, Unibet's Chief Executive Officer Henrik Tjärnström welcomed the company's positive performance and explained that the second quarter has been a positive one for the whole group as Unibet reached an all-time revenue high.
Meanwhile, PokerStars' march into the sports betting vertical continued as the company secured a license to offer sports betting products in Ireland, which came just at the right time as the football season in Europe is set to begin.
