Quarterly report
Today, the Betmakers share price is trading flat despite a strong quarterly update from the company. Betmakers continued its growth through Q1 FY21 based on strong activity in the Australian market.
One of the highlights from the report was the strong increase in cash receipts, which came in at $3.9 million, 63% above the last quarter. Revenues also increased to $3.9 million, up from $2.7 million last quarter. Furthermore, the strong increase in cash receipts and revenue are expected to continue within the Australian domestic market.

What now for the Betmakers share price?
The Betmakers share price has been performing exceptionally this year and is up 207% year to date. This is a huge rise, particularly in comparison with the 6% drop seen in the All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) this year. I believe a large part of the impressive rise in the Betmakers share price is down to its considerable growth in cash receipts, up by 132%.
Betmakers CEO, Todd Buckingham, was pleased with the results, stating:
The impressive growth we are seeing over the past two quarters is a result of the successful development, launch and implementation of our products and services in the Australian market over the past few years.
