Despite a drop in total income during the second quarter of 2009, 888 Holdings said that it was pleased to report good sequential quarter on quarter progress in its Business to Consumer and Business to Business lines in the second quarter of 2009. 888’s report showed a drop of 12% in total operating income year on year to just under $61 million.

“We are particularly encouraged with increased active customer levels in both B2C Casino and Poker,” said the group’s Chief Executive Officer, Gigi Levy. “We enter the seasonally quieter summer period with delivery of our strategy on track and we remain committed to investing in the business in spite of the macro-economic environment.  We are confident of delivering further growth during 2009 based on additional planned B2C activities and a set of newly launched B2B partnerships which we expect to start generating revenues in the coming months.”
