The Pointsbet Holdings Ltd (ASX: PBH) share price is tumbling in morning trade, down 12.2% after opening 4% higher.

Pointsbet shares closed yesterday trading for $3.57 and are currently trading at $3.14.

What else happened during the quarter?

The Pointsbet share price also isn't getting a boost today from the 32% year-on-year increase in turnover/handle the company reported. That's the dollar amount wagered by clients before any winnings are paid out or losses incurred.

Turnover/handle hit $1.30 billion in Q4 FY22, up from $986 million in Q4 FY21.

The company also reported on its full 2022 financial year total net win, which leapt 48% from FY21, up to $309.4 million.

Pointsbet said its new partnership with SIG Sports, a member of the Susquehanna International Group of Companies, will help it grow and compete in the North American sports betting market.

During the quarter, Pointsbet's European branch also entered an exploratory agreement with Nellie Analytics Limited, itself a member of the SIG Group.

According to the release, Nellie Analytics will provide exclusive sports analytical services to "complement and enhance the operational capabilities of PointsBet Europe and accelerate the company's technology roadmap as it relates to highly sophisticated risk management and trading algorithms, with a focus on in-play in the North American market".
