However, it received $26.9 million in cash receipts in the second quarter, up 13% compared to the first quarter of this financial year. At the end of the quarter, the company had a cash balance of $61 million.

Betmakers also noted the investment made in growth opportunities during H1FY23 is "expected to result in negative earnings in FY23". However, it added:

The company believes that the investment made over the last six months puts it in a stronger position to deliver the next phase of growth, both in revenue and earnings.

Betmakers also announced a board and management restructure. Matt Davey will take on the role of President and executive chairman. Jack Henson has been appointed to the CEO role.
