Bet365 report increased profits and revenues

Bet365's relentless progress continues with the gambling giant announcing revenues of more than £1.5 billion and increased operating profit in their latest report and financial statements.

Joint-chief executive Denise Coates said the group "continued to experience good growth" during the year to March 27, with revenue up five per cent and operating profit climbing ten per cent to £448.3 million.

That was despite the previous year having contained the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
