Strong Revenue Growth: North America net revenue increased 11% in 2025 and continued to rise on a constant-currency basis in early 2026, with the region described as a fast-growing segment. Disclosures tie these gains to expanded North American activity, including digital content and newly integrated businesses.

Market Expansion: The business extended beyond its Illinois base by launching e-Instant games with the Michigan Lottery (Dec 2024) and DC Lottery (Apr 2025) and by acquiring U.S.-focused assets. These steps broaden its presence across additional jurisdictions and channels in the U.S.

This mix indicates a shift from a single-operator model toward a multi-line North American portfolio.
