BetMGM Shows Strong First Half Financial Performance
LISTEN TO THIS ARTICLE:BetMGM, the sports betting and gaming entertainment operator, has released its results for the first six months of 2023, which shows a strong performance.
The trading figures for BetMGM so far this year show the gaming operator is on target to hit its guideline revenue of between $1.8 to $2 billion for the full year of 2023. The company also had a target of achieving positive EBITDA by the end of this year and boasted it had already reached a positive EBITDA figure during the second quarter of this year.

I am pleased with the significant progress we have made during the first half of 2023 as we continue our strong growth and remain on our path to profitability. Our financial guidance for the year remains on track – we expect to deliver $1.8 to $2.0 billion in full year revenue, as well as to be EBITDA positive in the second half of 2023. In fact, we have already achieved positive EBITDA for the full second quarter of this year
