Based on the figures now available, betandwin co-CEOs Manfred Bodner and Norbert Teufelberger draw up a positive rC)sumC) of Euro 2004: "Based on in-depth analysis of customer habits in our core markets of Austria, Germany, Turkey and Greece, we launched a concerted marketing offensive that enabled us to exceed our declared communication objectives in the lead-up to and during the European Soccer Championships. Whereas we have successfully employed an innovative mix of television, radio and print advertising in our 'classical' core target markets, in the promising markets of France, Scandinavia, Spain, Poland and Italy we scored principally with an attractive, carefully co-ordinated sequence of e-marketing activities."

- accelerated growth rather than short-term profit maximization

Although the full earnings potential of customers gained or reactivated during the 2004 European Soccer Championships will be realized fully in subsequent periods, betandwin's marketing activities around the championships represent another step towards achieving the company's objective of becoming one of Europe's leading online gaming providers. Starting with the utilisation of alternative distribution channels - for instance, the possibility of betting by mobile phone was especially popular with betandwin customers during the soccer championships - the company will also deploy shortly new entertaining products. In doing so, it will persistently pursue its strategy of regional expansion in subsequent quarters with a view to becoming a leading European online gaming brand and securing a total European-wide market share of over five per cent. In the process, the focus will be on medium-term growth realising maximum return on capital employed rather than on short-term profit optimisation.
