(CDRO) is a publicly traded online gambling business focused on delivering digital casino and sports betting experiences to consumers in multiple regulated jurisdictions. The company emerged from the Codere Group structure and was incorporated in Luxembourg in 2021 in connection with the spin-off of the online casino and online sports betting activities, after which its shares began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker CDRO (listed in December 2021).
From a business perspective, CDRO’s core value proposition is aggregating and operating online gaming products—primarily sports betting and online casino—to capture demand for mobile and web-based gambling. Its operational footprint is described as spanning several countries, notably Spain and Italy in Europe, and Mexico, Colombia, Panama, and Argentina in Latin America. These markets are characterized by regulated frameworks, meaning the company’s day-to-day operations typically depend on maintaining the right to offer services via local licenses/authorizations, meeting player protection and responsible gaming obligations, and adapting product offerings to local customer preferences.
Product-wise, the company provides online casino games and sports betting, aiming to serve both casual bettors and more engaged gaming users. In such businesses, the revenue model is generally tied to user wagering activity and net gaming revenue after promotional incentives; operational performance therefore relies on retention, customer acquisition efficiency, sportsbook/casino engagement, and ongoing compliance.
Cost and operations for digital gaming companies typically include technology and platform operations (including gaming systems, payments, odds/odds management, and site/app maintenance), marketing and customer acquisition, regulatory and compliance overhead, payment processing and partner costs, and operational staffing across local and corporate functions. Financially, the provided metrics indicate profitability and cash-flow dynamics consistent with a gaming operator with scale and active trading status, while its capital structure reflects modest leverage in the provided snapshot. Like many digital gambling firms, CDRO’s operating results can be influenced by seasonality (sports calendars), promotional intensity, and market competition.
Key people include Aviv Sher, who serves as CEO (appointed March 2023 per the provided information). Overall, Codere Online is positioned as an international online gaming operator with a focus on Spain and Latin America, seeking to grow its digital customer base through product delivery, market execution, and ongoing regulatory compliance.

Aviv Sher: Thanks, Guillermo, and thank you all for joining us today. The second quarter was a standout quarter for Codere Online. We delivered our highest quarterly revenue to date alongside strong profitability and cash generation. Revenue growth accelerated meaningfully versus an already strong first quarter, driven by solid execution in Spain and Mexico and improving conditions in Colombia and Panama, providing us with a solid position and confidence to raise our outlook for the full year. Starting with the highlights for the second quarter of 2026 on Page 8. We delivered consolidated net gaming revenue of EUR 69.4 million, representing a 27% increase versus the second quarter of last year and a significant sequential acceleration versus the first quarter. Casino accounted for 62% of revenue during the period, while sports betting represented the remaining 38%. These trends are consistent with recent quarters, although the contribution from sport increased slightly due to the World Cup. All operating KPIs improved in the quarter with an average monthly active customer reaching approximately 173,000, up 12% compared to Q2 of last year and average monthly spend per customer up 13% year-over-year to EUR 134, reflecting both strong engagement and a higher player value base. On the acquisition side, we acquired around 108,000 first-time depositors during the quarter, nearly 40% more than in prior year quarter. Once again, supported by strong activity around the World Cup, cost per acquisition improved approximately to EUR 200, demonstrating the continued efficiency of our marketing investments. Most importantly, based on strong performance delivered in the quarter and the momentum we continue to see across the business, we are raising our guidance for the full year of 2026. We now expecting revenue -- gaming revenue of between EUR 255 million …
