After tax profits at Unibet Group plc have risen by 22.6% to £6.5 million for the third quarter of 2007 from increased revenue of £20.2 million.

The news comes following the detention of Unibet CEO Petter Nylander by Dutch authorities last week.  Nylander was to be transferred to France to face questioning.

The arrest relates to proceedings filed in 2006 by the French state-owned lottery companies, Francaise des Jeux and horse betting monopoly PMU against Unibet, alleging breach of French laws from 1836 and 1891 protecting state-owned monopolies.

Gross winnings revenue from sportsbetting declined 7.2% at the Swedish online gambling firm compared to Q3 2006 to £6.5 million but gained 6.3% in the first nine months of the year to £20.1 million. Gross winnings from non-sports betting, which consists of casino, games, bingo and poker amounted to £13.7 million for the quarter, an increase of 11.4%. Of the non-sports betting winnings, poker accounted for 35% of revenue while casino contributed 53%.

Sweden continues to represent Unibet’s largest market, accounting for approximately 32% of total gross winnings, followed by southern Europe at 28.5% and the rest of the Nordic region at 24.7%.

As of 30th September 2007, Unibet’s number of active customers totalled 257,312, up 20.2% over Q3 2006 from a registered customer base of 2.06 million.

Unibet’s results have benefited significantly from the company’s change of domiciliation from the UK to Malta in November 2006. The move has resulted in Unibet’s tax burden falling from £2.2 million in Q3 2006 to just £400,000 in Q3 2007.
