What Happened
BETBY, a Malta-based sportsbook supplier, announced a 33.4% year-on-year increase in gross gaming revenue (GGR) for the third quarter of 2026, according to SBC News. The company also reported an 82.7% rise in active players and a 31.9% increase in total bets placed during the same period.
