European Economic Reopening

The company’s presence in Greece has seen the Greek Organisation of Football Prognostics (OPAP) reopen their betting shops on April 12th, 2021. The only service available at that time was Virtual Sports due to the restrictions imposed by the onset of the global pandemic. Despite a lack of public government guidance, INSE forecasts Greece and Italy to allow for businesses to reopen without restrictions by the third quarter of the fiscal year 2021.

Gradual Recovery

With the recent and gradual lifting of government-mandated regulations and restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, the company is encouraged by trends it has observed across the business as a result. Despite it only having been weeks since English betting shops opened again, as well as the restriction of being allowed only two out of four machines per shop, the company reported gross gaming revenue per operational machine that exceeded reports from December 2020, when the shops were operating under the same conditions.

With the world hurtling towards global immunizations, INSE is poised to capitalize on a reopened economy without restrictions. The company is keen to facilitate further growth, armed with its solid liquidity position which it has bolstered throughout the month of May in 2021.
