Banijay Group reported steady growth in its betting and gaming business in FY2025. The latest results show Banijay Gaming revenue expanding faster than the group overall. The division continues to increase its share of the company’s total revenue through online sportsbook, casino and poker products.

  • Banijay reported total revenue of EUR 4.88bn in FY 2025, while the gaming division generated EUR 1.59bn. This means the gaming segment accounted for roughly 33% of total group revenue during the year. The Banijay Gaming revenue figure reflects a 10.2% year-on-year increase.

  • The gaming division outpaced the wider group in terms of growth. Overall group revenue increased 3.4%, compared with the double-digit growth recorded in gaming. This indicates the betting and gaming segment is gradually increasing its contribution to Banijay’s overall revenue mix.

  • Online sportsbook remains the largest part of the gaming business. Sportsbook revenue reached EUR 1.21bn in FY2025, rising 6.8% compared with the previous year. The segment benefited from strong engagement around major European football competitions and product updates to the sportsbook app.

  • Online casino showed the fastest growth among Banijay’s main gaming verticals. Casino revenue increased 17.4% year-on-year to EUR 249.3m. The growth was supported by momentum in Portugal and the launch of the activity in Côte d’Ivoire during early 2025.

  • Online poker also expanded sharply during the year. Revenue climbed 36.5% to EUR 105.8m following the rollout of a new proprietary poker platform. The platform update contributed to higher player engagement and tournament participation.

  • Retail gaming represents only a small portion of the overall gaming business. Turf betting, which reflects mainly retail activity, generated EUR 24.3m in revenue during FY2025. This means retail accounts for roughly 1.5% of gaming revenue, while online products represent more than 98% of the division’s activity.

  • Player activity continued to grow across Banijay’s digital platforms with number of unique active players increased by 23% year-on-year. CEO François Riahi said: “Online sports betting & gaming sustained strong momentum, with revenue up 10% despite a record year in 2024.”

  • The rising share of gaming revenue is expected to continue following strategic expansion. Banijay announced the acquisition of a majority stake in Tipico in October 2025, which will expand the group’s sportsbook footprint in Europe. Once completed, the transaction is expected to further increase the weight of betting and gaming within the group’s overall revenue mix. The expected closing is in the first half of 2026.
