TopBetta Quarterly Activities Report
The Board of TopBetta Holdings Limited (ASX:TBH) (“TopBetta” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide shareholders with the attached Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 31 March 2016.
During Q3 TopBetta realised a number of strong achievements including:
-
Signing a conditional agreement with technology wagering company, Modern Wagering Systems (“MWS”). The agreement, which was finalised after balance date on the 11th of April 2016, will allow TopBetta to integrate its fantasy betting platform into MWS’ new wagering product, allowing mass distribution as well as launching a newly developed betting product.
-
Signing commercial advertising agreement with Fairfax Media to promote Fantasy Tournaments across Fairfax’s Australian Community Media (“ACM”), which will be going live on the digital platform this week for NRL and AFL.
-
Partnership deal signed with global publisher of online horse racing form and information site, Racing and Sports Pty Ltd.
The Company has seen strong growth across the business as a whole but in particular wagering turnover, revenues and active clients experienced good growth. Such improvement in a quarter which customarily generates lower revenues across the industry (comparative to other quarters) is a very pleasing outcome with the Spring Carnival and Melbourne Cup carnival in the previous quarter.
For this period, the total active quarterly users realised a 47% increase from 2,882 active users in Q2 to 4,247 active users in Q3. Coupled with this, Wagering and Tournament Turnover increased +97% to $7,484,988[1] for the current quarter, up from $3,807,398[2] . Detailed figures relating to this high level of growth are detailed in Table 1 below.

Table 1 – March 2016 Quarter Results
Strong growth came at the back end of the quarter with the execution of the Fairfax Media (ACM) print strategy, with the digital strategy to be implemented throughout Q4 and beyond. Cash at hand still remains strong at $3.9M[3] and the Company will continue to expand its marketing reach to establish growth across these key measurements
The business has also been looking to fill key employment holes within the Company and we are excited to announce the following people have joined the team and TopBetta:
1 All figures in this Announcement are unaudited.
2 All figures in this Announcement are unaudited. 3 All figures in this Announcement are unaudited.
-
Paul Jeronimo joins the team as Chief Operating Officer. Paul has extensive knowledge of the ASX along with early stage companies as a previous CFO and Company secretary at Mobile Embrace, along with CFO roles in Engin and more recently the CFO and Director at Vioamo.
-
Luke Brammal joins the TopBetta team as Client Service and Sales manager. Luke previously set and established the Client and Sales team at TomWaterhouse.com. Luke built this previous team into one of the most respected call centre teams in Australian wagering culminating in winning the EGR 2014 “Best in class Customer Service Award”.
TopBetta’s Managing Director, Todd Buckingham, commented, “ The quarterly result was a very positive outcome given the time of year which is generally a quiet period. The team have been able to execute some fantastic deals which we believe will give us the ability to achieve further growth in the short term.
The appointment of Paul and Luke is quite exciting for our team. Paul is a results driven, number crunching executive and what Luke did for TomWaterhouse.com was outstanding building that team from the ground up.
It's great to have both of these guys on Team TopBetta. ”
