Betfair and PaddyPower Revenue Soaring Post-Merger

Both Betfair and PaddyPower revenue growth is continuing to grow more than a year after the two betting powerhouses merger.

Two of the biggest UK sports betting sites, PaddyPower and Betfair, officially merged in February of last year. It appears that was a wise decision, as the two company’s revenue has been skyrocketing as of late.

In a end of the year report, it was revealed that the newly merged Betfair PaddyPower revenue increased by 18% to £1.55 billion including massive growth among their various platforms including online casino and poker.

“2016 was a transformational year for Paddy Power Betfair with much of the integration of the businesses completed sooner and more efficiently than expected,” Breon Corcoran, chief executive of the company said. The “transformational” period of the merger is over, and 2017 will be a year to focus further on Betfair-PaddyPower revenue growth and expansion.

What do these sites offer?

Both of these companies have grown to become so popular among players due to their amazing list of betting options. They are both known for offering betting lines on a wide range of sports, but also provide members with some incredible novelty bets.

As we mentioned before, both Betfair and PaddyPower offer some of the best online casinos in the UK, with a massive list of different games and fantastic live casino features.

It seems likely that these two companies will continue to thrive for the foreseeable future. “We have created a business with considerable scale that is stronger and better able to compete than either of the individual legacy companies. The Group is well positioned to deliver sustainable, profitable growth,” Corcoran stated.
