Describing the third quarter as challenging, chief executive officer Jason Williams said latent effects of bingo.com's platform migration, an increasingly competitive market environment and the lack of a mobile product impacted negatively on results.
 
A mobile and tablet solution is currently in the pipeline and the company's social casino product Trophy Bingo, currently in the late stages of development following successful beta testing, is expected to launch during the fourth quarter of 2013.
 
"We remain confident in the potential of both our European online gambling operation and our social casino product. For the fourth quarter we have configured our gambling promotions and allocated our marketing budgets to return to revenue growth," Williams said.
