BETBY Reports Record Q1 Growth, GGR Soars 61%

(AsiaGameHub) –   Leading sportsbook provider BETBY has announced a robust beginning to 2026, highlighted by a historic March, driven by expansion in both its sportsbook and esports division, Betby.Games.

This 61% increase in gross gaming revenue (GGR) year-on-year for the first quarter coincides with the Malta-based company’s efforts to broaden its market presence and advance product innovation.

Additionally, BETBY saw a 38% rise in its active player base, suggesting that its recent foray into specialized markets such as MMA, hockey, and the emerging sport of teqball is proving successful.

The firm has recently expanded its operations in Latin America by naming Gonzalo Navarro to the position of Senior Business Development Manager.

As previously mentioned, March achieved record-breaking results for the company, indicating strong momentum heading into a crucial season. This is especially true for football, with the conclusion of major European leagues and tournaments approaching, alongside the upcoming World Cup this summer.

Betby.Games also showed strong performance in Q1 2026 compared to the prior year, recording a 42% increase in GGR and a 32% growth in active players.

“It’s been a really solid start to the year for us,” stated Leonid Pertsovskiy, Chief Executive Officer of BETBY.

“We’re seeing strong growth across both sportsbook and esports, and that comes down to the work we’ve put into the product and the trust our partners place in us.

“What’s particularly encouraging is that this growth is consistent across key metrics, which shows the strength and stability of what we’re building. We’ll keep pushing in the same direction, focusing on delivering long-term value for our partners.”

BETBY’s safe prediction market strategy

This announcement arrives after the company ventured into the prediction market sector earlier this month with BETBY Predictions. However, this was not a hasty decision; the company has observed the controversies surrounding platforms such as Polymarket and Kalshi.

BETBY Predictions intends to avoid ‘highly sensitive or controversial topics,’ excluding events related to geopolitics, ongoing conflicts, wars, and any occurrences ‘involving human suffering’ from its platform.

The impact of this expansion into prediction markets on the company’s results remains to be seen, but BETBY aims aims to sustain this positive trajectory throughout the rest of FY26 and into the future.
