The Board of TopBetta Holdings Limited (ASX:TBH) (“TopBetta” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide shareholders with an overview on the quarterly activities for the period ending 31 March 2018 [1]
TopBetta’s Managing Director, Todd Buckingham commented: “ The strong year on year growth has been key for us and has put us in a position to execute the recently announced PlayUp deal.”
“Over the past 12 months, the Company has grown the Active User base and over the busy Spring Carnival period of 2017 saw our turnover peak to $82.90M which is a substantial growth from the previous year. During this March quarter we focused on retaining those clients while significantly reducing our spend.”

The turnover and revenue decreases compared with the December quarter can be attributed largely to two factors:
-
i. Seasonality has impacted retail turnover and revenues. Revenues and turnover are higher during the peak Spring Racing Carnival period of September – November, hence these figures were lower for the March quarter.
-
ii. The Company made the decision to reduced its coverage of race meetings on The Global Tote from 1102 to 784 (29%), which was a decision made due to a delay in approvals of multiple commercial agreements with Australian bookmakers licensed in the Northern Territory. The Company notes it has recently met with the Northern Territory Racing Commission (“NTRC”) to clarify its concerns with the agreements currently at hand for operators licensed by NTRC. The Company now understands the concerns raised by the NTRC and will be working to resolve these issues. The NTRC has indicated it will look at the agreements again once these matters are addressed. The NTRC has not given any commitment to approve these agreements other than indicate that they will assess again if and when the matters are addressed and the agreements are submitted for review.
Comparing the March 2018 results against those recorded in the March 2017 quarter has resulted in significant uplift across wagering and tournament turnover (+304%) and wagering and tournament revenues (+460%) [1] .

Active unique clients decreased 38% to 8,854 compared with the previous quarter which realised 14,223 active unique clients.
==> picture [526 x 209] intentionally omitted <==
The decrease in active unique clients compared with the December quarter reflects on the Spring Carnival seasonality. The Company’s aggressive client acquisition campaign during the Spring Racing Carnival concluded in November and during the March quarter the group has concentrated on client retention strategies.
