Cirsa has reported a net loss of €254.6m for its full-year 2020 as closures of land-based gaming outlets due to Covid-19 hit revenue.

Operating profit came in at €126m, down 73.3% from €842m in 2019. Operating revenue fell to €842m, down from €1.64bn in 2019. The fourth quarter saw operating revenue of €211m, down from €537.6m in the same period in 2019, and operating profit of €51m.

The year had begun with a strong start, with revenue up by 28% year-on-year in January and February before the Covid-19 pandemic hit land-based revenues from March onwards.

Bingo and casino operations were hit particularly hard during a year that saw the number of productive hours fall by 45% due to pandemic-related retail closures in different markets

However, Cirsa said it managed to mitigate the impact on revenue and recover its customer base through its “Secure Gaming” plan.

Slots also suffered but Cirsa said its subsidiary UNIDESA B2B’s Manhattan and Pharaoh’s Gold games had become the best performing slots in the market.

To broaden player appeal and expand operators’ reach, BetConstruct has launched “HomeWork,” a new promo campaign for Sportsbooks.

As a part of a player acquisition strategy meticulously developed for partners, BetConstruct creates a special assignment to be provided to players via sportsbook.

A very literal homework can be assigned to the bettors by an operator. With this additional player engagement channel also comes the configuration layout for operators to customise the assignments and track the results.

The tasks include, but are not limited to predicting the outcome of different markets like match result, goals total, handicap and so on. The participants are given 24 hours for a regular task and get a new one in case the previous has been annulled. Upon completing the homework and depending on the number of correct predictions, bettors receive rewards from the total prize pool of the promotion.

HomeWork is an excellent fit for forward-thinking partners who seek to provide extraordinary sportsbook experience alongside traditional well-loved betting. The new enhancement is set to contribute to the profits of any sportsbook businesses, creating an involving experience for the players and prolonging their sessions on operator’s website.
