888 continues to grow as player signups rise 26%
888 continues to show terrific form and has published new positive numbers for the year's second quarter. The Gibraltar-based company increased revenue by 17% while adding 26% more new players.
888 Holding continues to perform well and has once again showed signs of growth in its casino, poker, bingo and sports book departments.

The latest numbers come as the company released its financial figures for the year's second quarter. All in all, the books showed an increase in revenue of 17% to $92 million compared to the same period last year.

In terms of player growth, numbers showed a 26% increase across all departments to 12.1 million as of June 30th, 2012.

Commenting on the results, chief executive Brian Mattingly said that a focus on customer care and campaigning has allowed the company to keep up an impressive growth rate.

"While the second quarter of the year saw a return to historical seasonal revenue patterns, revenue increased 17 per cent year-on-year supported by targeted marketing campaigns and market-leading customer relationship management," Mattingley said in a press release.

The period covers 888 Poker's entrance into the Spanish market, and here too 888 is showing signs of early growth, Mattingley revealed.

"We have the right product offering and back office capabilities to grow and sustain market share, as indicated by the success in building a significant market share in the newly regulated Spanish poker market."

The year's third quarter has started equally well for 888, with early numbers pointing to a growth rate of around 10% so far.

This site is growing on me, too. It has taken me a little while to navigate my way around, but getting on to it okay. What I think I like about it, the prizes available and the quickie mtt's (small buyin, pretty decent return) I haven't had to deposit any money either, given they got me started with $8, once I got registered...another nice little perk to get new people to their site.

Yea, I can't wait until The US Players are welcome back to play on any site that may choose pretty much!! It just urks me that they try and control how we spend our hard earned money, if we choose to gamble with our money, thats our choice!! It just sucks, just seems as if our rights are being taken away from us!
