Portugal's online gambling market continues to surge, with Q4 2023 witnessing unprecedented success. Here are the key highlights:

Record Revenue: In Q4, Portugal reported a total online gambling revenue of €227.4 million, surpassing all previous records. This achievement marks the sixth consecutive quarter of growth.
