The Gibraltar-based UK bookie William Hill have announced net revenue up 1%, mainly in thanks to a huge increase in revenues from it's eGaming department - online betting up an impressive 25% compared to the same peroid last year.

Online sports betting took a massive turn for the better, showing a near 80% increase on sportsbook net revenue, as well as an increased margin of over 8.0%.

Their online casinos activity also weighed in with an 11% increase, with online bingo enjoying more than 50% in growth, however like most online betting companies, it was their poker division that suffered the most, limping in with a 11% net revenue fall.
