Boss Kenny Alexander reckons the growth potential of the group — which also includes Foxy Bingo and PartyPoker — is “greater than originally anticipated” at the time of the deal a year ago.
Euro 2016, which climaxed in Portugal’s shock win, boosted underlying profits 42% to €104.4 million (£89.8 million) for the half year, with full-year profits likely to beat forecasts of €197 million (£169 million).
The dividend begins again next year.
Alexander could even mull more deals. “If we see opportunities we would like to explore them,” he said.
