Gambling.com Group Limited, a fast-growing provider of digital marketing services for the global online gambling industry, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2024.

Charles Gillespie, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Gambling.com Group, commented, “Our record fourth quarter and full-year results were driven by our team’s prioritization of iGaming across the markets where we operate. Our team delivered outstanding performance in the quarter, especially when compared to the launch driven results in the prior-year period. We anticipate growth and continued market share gains in our performance marketing business across all geographic regions in 2025, including North America. The consolidation of Odds Holdings, Inc. from January 1st marks the start of the Company’s next phase of growth as we layer on sports data solutions to our existing, high-growth, high-margin business. Our competitive positioning is strong across the globe.”

“We capped an active and productive year during which we set the stage for continued strong growth in 2025 and beyond,” said Mr. Gillespie. “In 2024, we extended our record of delivering full-year revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow growth with those metrics improving 17%, 33%, and 81%, respectively, year-over-year. In addition, we strengthened our product and market positioning organically as well as through the complementary, accretive acquisitions of Freebets.com and Odds Holdings. With the biggest and most talented team we have ever had and an enhanced product offering, we are making great progress towards our goal of reaching $100 million in annual Adjusted EBITDA.”

Elias Mark, Chief Financial Officer of Gambling.com Group, added, “Fourth quarter revenue and Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% and 39% year-over-year, respectively, and over 80% of Adjusted EBITDA converted to free cash flow, reflecting the continued success of our strategies to optimize the returns from our global portfolio of owned and operated assets. As expected, we generated strong online casino growth across all our geographical regions, while our North American business continued to be resilient against challenging comparables. As reflected in our full-year guidance, we expect to generate significant year-over-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth in 2025, and we are well-positioned to carry this operating momentum forward.”

2025 Outlook

Gambling.com Group today reiterated the 2025 full-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance originally provided on February 19, 2025.
