The Unibet online gambling group has delivered another sterling set of results for Q2-2014, reporting:
* Earnings up 38 percent to GBP 16.7 million

* Active customers up more than 33 percent quarter-on-quarter at 610,000.
* World Cup football betting made up GBP 16 million of the company's GBP 31.9 million Q2 overall sports betting revenues.
* Mobile wagering contributed 47 percent of overall sportsbook revenue, and live betting delivered 64.6 percent of turnover.
* Continued success in Western Europe, which provided GBP 16.2 million, or over half sports betting revenues – almost doubling in terms of y-o-y growth.
* Nordic activity rising – up 22 percent to GBP 12.2 million.
* On the negative side, Central, Eastern and Southern European markets declined 21 percent to just GBP 2.6 million.
