Active User numbers continue to grow with 20% increase from June quarter to 10,904

As TopBetta Holdings Limited (ASX: TBH) (“TopBetta” or the “Company”) continues to grow its retail and wholesale divisions, the Board of TopBetta is pleased to provide the following update on the Company’s activities for the quarter ended 30 September 2017.
Wagering and Tournament turnover
The Company had quarterly turnover of $54.62M (unaudited) which was up 29% QoQ and which represented an uplift of 353% increase on the same quarter last year.
Active Users
As announced to the market on 5 October 2017, the Company reported 10,904 Active Users during the September quarter which was up from 9,093 reported in the June quarter.
Cash Receipts & Cashflow
Unaudited Cash Receipts from customers has increased to $4.11M up from $3.75M at the end of the previous quarter.
During the quarter, product, manufacturing and operating costs increased as a direct result of the increase in wagering turnover. In turn, the significant uplift in turnover resulted in increased racing body fees and adjusted payment terms due to TopBetta’s turnover moving into higher turnover brackets applicable to some racing bodies.
The previous June quarter also included a one-off uplift in player funds associated with the acquisition of the Mad Bookie business.
The increase in advertising and marketing spend, compared to the prior quarter, resulted in more than 5,000 new client acquisitions which gave an overall 20% increase in Active Users. This increase mitigated the removal of all content Active Users from previous quarters and a reduction in tournament players as the business moved to focus on retail and wholesale wagering.

Administrative and corporate costs increased compared to the prior quarter due to various one-off costs including payment of annual public company costs, expenses relating to the launch of The Global Tote data feeds by the Company’s wholly owned Alderney-based subsidiary, The Global Tote Limited (“TGT”), and general legal costs associated with international licensing of both The Global Tote and TopBetta Pty Ltd’s retail business.
Global Tote Update
As announced on 5 October 2017, the September quarter was the second period of reporting for the Company to include revenues from TGT’s B2B product, Global Tote, which has continued to increase coverage on Australian and international race meetings for approved bookmakers.
Global Tote turnover for the quarter totalled $22.58M (unaudited) (up from $8.96M the previous quarter) as highlighted below.

TopBetta’s Managing Director, Todd Buckingham commented: “The first quarter of FY17 has been a significant quarter in terms of building the base for the Company. We have capitalised on a number of opportunities and it was pleasing to see the continual growth across our wagering divisions.
The Company raised $9M via a placement, which has allowed us to accelerate the roll out of a number of initiatives around our retail business here in Australia and also tick off some regulatory requirements to move into other international markets.”
