Quarterly Statement Q3 2016

bet-at-home.com AG – 7. November 2016

REPORT BY THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Shareholders,

in the first three quarters of 2016, bet-at-home.com AG Group once again showed its strength by generating new record gaming volumes as well as betting and gaming income. In addition, numerous marketing campaigns focused on the European Football Championship in France and ongoing sponsoring activities consistently increased the Group's popularity. More than 4.5 million registered customers have given the bet-at-home.com brand their trust already.

Following the issuance of bonus shares in June 2016 and the announcement of a performance-based special dividend, the bet-at-home.com AG received admission to the Regulated Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange ('Prime Standard') in August 2016. With the approved change of the segment, the bet-at-home.com AG fulfills all requirements in regard of being included in a selection index of the Deutsche Börse.

We would like to thank all those who have made the three quarters of 2016 such a success for bet-at-home.com, especially our staff and shareholders. They have contributed significantly to a very good financial year and, through their commitment and trust, will ensure a sustainable and successful future for the bet-at-home.com AG Group. We would also like to express our gratitude to the shareholders for their trust in us.
