Regardless, leadership chose in for a full US exit, mentioning regulative unpredictability and a desire to reallocate financial investment to other high-growth markets.


However, Super Group's latest Q3 outcomes revealed that Betway's revenue retained the very same part of total North American earnings as it had shortly before leaving the US, thanks to continuing its operations in Canada.
