LNB builds on record profits and booming online gambling revenues, positioning itself for a strong year-end performance in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Benin.- With the last quarter of the year approaching, Loterie Nationale du B\u00e9nin (LNB)<\/strong> is entering the final stretch of 2025 with confidence, building on a stellar prior year that saw net profit surge<\/strong> 83 per cent, from CFA3.91bn (\u20ac5.9m)<\/strong> in 2023 to CFA7.16bn (\u20ac10.8m) in 2024<\/strong>. Online gambling and core lottery operations remain a key driver<\/strong> of success, with non-operating income playing only a minor role in the overall profit growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company\u2019s digital transformation<\/strong> has expanded its reach and enhanced customer engagement<\/strong>, positioning LNB to capitalise on the growing popularity of online gambling across West Africa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A June 2025 report by Orishas Finance, a West African financial news and market analysis<\/strong> platform, states: “The company\u2019s online gambling revenue jumped<\/strong> from CFA30.1bn (\u20ac45.5m) in 2023 to CFA57.1bn (\u20ac86.4m) in 2024, representing 55.7 per cent of total turnover and highlighting strong momentum<\/strong> heading into year-end 2025<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strong performance reflected in the market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The company\u2019s operational strength<\/strong> and market performance go hand in hand. LNB\u2019s success is mirrored in the stock market<\/strong>, highlighting investor confidence<\/strong>. According to AFX Kwayisi, an African financial data and stock market information provider, LNB\u2019s stock (LNBB) remained stable at CFA4,300 (\u20ac6.5) on September 25, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report added: “With a market capitalisation of approximately CFA86bn (\u20ac130m), LNB continues to rank among the most valuable stocks<\/strong> on the BRVM exchange (the regional stock exchange for eight West African countries).”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although margins were slightly tighter in 2024, the overall profit surged, fuelled by digital transformation and booming online gambling revenues<\/strong>, underscoring that LNB is well positioned for sustained growth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August, LNB organised a jackpot event offering over CFA26m (\u20ac39,000) in prizes, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to community engagement<\/strong> and reinforcing its leadership in the gambling sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With innovation, robust financial results and steady market confidence<\/strong>, LNB is poised to finish 2025 strongly, building on past achievements and continuing its upward trajectory<\/strong> in West Africa\u2019s regulated gambling industry.<\/p>\n\n\n
