Super Group (SGHC) Limited (NYSE: SGHC), the parent company of
Betway, a leading online sports betting and gaming business, and
Spin, the multi-brand online casino, today announced that,
following the completion of an extensive internal review, the
company intends to undertake an exit plan for its sportsbook
product in the United States.
The company, along with relevant regulators and partners, will
shortly begin the process to fully close its U.S. sportsbook
operations in the nine states in which it is currently live. Super
Group will, however, maintain its iGaming presence in the U.S. and
plans to operate two iGaming brands from its Spin portfolio
(including Jackpot City) in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Chief Executive Officer Neal Menashe commented: “As a global
business, we constantly evaluate the optimal use of our resources
across all markets in which we operate. We have recently concluded
an extensive review of our U.S. operations and, at present, we do
not see a long-term path to profitability for the sportsbook
product.”
“The vast majority of Super Group’s revenue is generated in
iGaming and, in line with that strategy, we will continue to offer
our leading casino product in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. We are
open to expanding our U.S. footprint if the right investment or
strategic opportunities arise.”
Super Group expects to incur costs and charges in connection
with the closure of its U.S. sportsbook operation, information
about which will be provided by management during the next
quarterly earnings call, scheduled for early August. Such costs and
charges, while not insignificant, will not have any impact on Super
Group’s previously communicated capital allocation or operating
plans. Non-U.S. earnings, which have historically been reported
separately, will not be negatively impacted by this closure.
