VALLETTA, Malta, July 21, 2021

In February this year, Kindred Group plc (Kindred) started to communicate about its "Journey towards zero" by announcing the share of revenue derived from harmful gambling. Kindred has set an ambition to reach zero per cent of revenue from harmful gambling by the end of 2023 and report this on a quarterly basis. The purpose is to be transparent with data and raise awareness on what needs to be done to prevent high-risk gambling in society.

For the second quarter of 2021, the share of revenue from harmful gambling increased slightly to 4.3 per cent from 3.9 per cent in Q1 2021.

"During the past quarter we have continued to see a positive and constructive dialogue across the industry in terms of achieving a more sustainable gambling market.

Despite our revenue increasing slightly this quarter, which is an expected fluctuation, we remain dedicated and focused on our journey towards zero", comments Henrik Tjärnström, CEO of Kindred Group.
