(Reuters) – British bookmaker 888 Holdings retained its 2024 profit forecast on Tuesday after reporting a rise for last year, as higher marketing spend on gaming and betting businesses helped the company mitigate the impact of gambling safety measures.
The London-listed company reported adjusted core profit of 308.3 million pounds ($389.94 million) for full year 2023, compared with 217.9 million in 2022.
