In the second quarter of 2026, Better Collective experienced a 9% year-on-year increase in revenue, driven primarily by strong performance in North America.

Jesper Søgaard, co-founder and co-CEO of Better Collective, expressed satisfaction with the quarterly performance, emphasizing the growth driven by revenue share income, media talent, and prediction markets in North America. He noted that the World Cup provided the anticipated boost, and while maintaining the full-year guidance, he highlighted the company's commitment to profitable growth, operational efficiency, and scalability.
