Tabcorp’s wagering and media was its most successful division in the quarter, with revenue up 5.6% on a year-on-year basis to Aus$440.6 million.

Although gaming services remained flat at Aus$24.2 million, Tabcorp did note that its keno business saw revenue drop 13.8% year-on-year to Aus$43.9 million.

As a result of its performance in the third quarter, Tabcorp has revealed that group revenue for the year-to-date now stands at Aus$1.6 billion, up 5.6% on the amount posted at the same point last year.

Wagering and media revenue for the year-to-date stand at Aus$1.4 billion, up 7.1% on the previous year, while revenue gaming services is up 1.1% to Aus$74.9 million.

However, the company’s Keno division has suffered year-on-year losses, with revenue from this part of the business down 4.9% to Aus$74.9 million.

David Attenborough, managing director and chief executive officer of Tabcorp, said: “Tabcorp achieved revenue growth in the third quarter, driven by the performance of our wagering and media business.
