Revenue was up by 1.1% compared to Q2 2021. LeoVegas said that excluding the Netherlands, the revenue was up 9%.

Reflecting on the quarter, LeoVegas said MGM’s acquisition of the business is going “according to plan”, and that the acceptance period for the deal will end on 30 August.

MGM Resorts agreed to acquire LeoVegas in May, in a deal worth an estimated $607m. This is going ahead, despite the Swedish Economic Crime Authority launching an investigation into insider trading of LeoVegas’ shares the following month.
