Stars
LATAM online sports betting (Mexico, Colombia)
High user growth (~30% YoY in 2024), an expanding addressable market across Mexico and Colombia and strong Codere brand recognition make LATAM online sports betting a front-runner. Live odds, aggressive promos and robust acquisition lines sustain high share as the category surges regionally. It still burns cash on bonuses and media spend, but current momentum justifies investment. If held steady, this can mature into a dominant, cash-rich position.
Mobile online casino (Spain and Mexico)
Slots and live dealer on mobile are scaling fast in Spain and Mexico, with cross-sell from sports lifting ARPU and mobile accounting for roughly 70% of online play globally by 2024; Codere’s app visibility places it among leading market shares in both countries. Higher promotional spend and content costs mean heavy reinvestment today, compressing margins despite double-digit year-on-year digital growth. Sustain the lead and it can graduate to a Cash Cow as market growth normalizes.
Live betting and micro-markets
Live betting and micro-markets drive high-frequency, high-margin engagement that keeps bettors in-app and boosts turnover; industry in‑play handle now exceeds 40% of total sports betting. Market demand is outpacing many legacy books while Codere’s product cadence remains competitive. Maintaining this lead requires continuous trading and tech investment. Winning here anchors overall market share for Codere.
Omnichannel wallet and loyalty (retail + online)
Linking venues to apps drives repeat play and can lower CPA ~20% while boosting LTV ~25% and cutting churn ~30% based on 2024 omnichannel program benchmarks; execution lifts retention and revenue per user for Codere across markets. Integration is resource-intensive—typical rollouts take 12–18 months and require IT and ops retraining, but network effects cement market leadership.
- CPA -20%
- LTV +25%
- Churn -30%
- Rollout 12–18 months
Brand partnerships and local sports IP in LATAM
Brand partnerships and local sports IP in LATAM (Codere: Stars) use team and league tie-ins to accelerate trust and customer acquisition in growth markets, with awareness often converting rapidly during peak seasons and lifting market share.
Rights fees and activation spend are currently substantial, but with consistent performance these commercial relationships can evolve into durable moat assets for Codere.

LATAM scale: 30% YoY, mobile 70%, omnichannel cuts CPA
Stars: LATAM sportsbook (30% YoY growth in 2024) and mobile casino (70% mobile share by 2024) show rapid scale, high CAC from promos but strong LTV lift; in‑play >40% of handle. Investment justified to capture market leadership; omnichannel synergies cut CPA ~20% and boost LTV ~25%.
| Metric | 2024 |
|---|---|
| YoY growth | 30% |
| Mobile share | 70% |
| In‑play handle | >40% |

Cash Cows
Gaming machines in mature European venues
Gaming machines in mature European venues deliver stable footfall and predictable yields, producing steady cash; low single-digit market growth (≈1–2% in 2024) limits expansion but margins remain healthy, with EBITDA margins typically north of 20% after years of floor optimization.
Capex is targeted—content refreshes and software upgrades rather than full rebuilds—keeping replacement spend modest and enabling redirected cashflow to bankroll Codere’s digital push and cover corporate overhead.
Spain bingo halls
Spain bingo halls are steady cash cows for Codere: attendance holds flat year-over-year and operations are well-drilled, with light promotions and optimized staffing delivering solid cash conversion. Growth is limited while volatility remains low, making these assets ideal to milk and maintain. Management treats them as stable free-cash generators within the portfolio.
Established retail sportsbooks (Mexico core cities)
Established retail sportsbooks in Mexico core cities deliver reliable handle through loyal local bases and predictable event cycles, producing steady cash flow. Growth is modest while unit economics become attractive post-setup, with margins reflecting low incremental capex. Marketing is maintenance-level and focused on retention and CRM rather than acquisition. These stores quietly fund higher-growth digital and expansion bets.
Route operations and slots in stable jurisdictions
Route operations and slots in stable jurisdictions generate steady cash for Codere, with reported installed base of roughly 27,000 terminals across Spain and Latin America in 2024 producing predictable cash flow and high unit-level margins. Long-term operator contracts and regulatory compliance reduce marketing spend; uptime and routine maintenance sustain revenues. Targeted tech upgrades in 2024 raised terminal uptime and transaction efficiency, fitting a classic Cash Cow profile.
- installed_base_2024: ~27,000 terminals
- low_marketing_need: true
- high_uptime_drives_revenue: true
- incremental_tech_roi: improved efficiency 2024
Flagship casinos in mature urban locations
Flagship casinos in mature urban locations deliver dependable EBITDA through diversified spend across tables, slots and F&B; in 2024 these properties showed stable footfall and flat-to-single-digit revenue trends, underpinning predictable cash flow. Market growth is muted but Codere’s share in key cities is entrenched, shifting management focus from expansion to yield management and tight cost control. Cash engine, plain and simple.
- High-margin revenue mix: tables + slots + F&B
- 2024: stable footfall, flat-to-single-digit revenue trends
- Priority: yield management, cost discipline
- Role: core cash generator for group EBITDA
27,000 terminals power mature floors with steady 20%+ EBITDA
Codere cash cows—mature European gaming floors, Spain bingo halls, Mexico retail books and route slots—produce steady EBITDA (EBITDA margins >20% in mature floors) with low market growth (~1–2% in 2024) and limited capex focused on refreshes. Installed base ~27,000 terminals in 2024 fuels predictable cash conversion; management prioritizes yield, uptime and retention over acquisition.
| Asset | 2024 metric | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Terminals | ~27,000 units | Cash generator |
| Retail floors | EBITDA margin >20% | Stable cash |

Dogs
Underperforming bingo halls in shrinking catchments
Underperforming Codere bingo halls sit in low-growth catchments with aging populations (65+ exceeds 20% in the EU, Eurostat 2024), shrinking core demand and visitation. Rising fixed costs and real-terms wage pressure amid ~2–3% euro-area inflation in 2024 erode returns, making turnarounds costly and often transient. Cash is tied up with limited upside; prime candidates for consolidation or exit.
Legacy self-service terminals with low utilization
Legacy self-service terminals show low utilization, often under 20% in mature markets, as outdated UX and limited bet menus fail to attract bettors. Upkeep, staff time and floor space frequently cost more than terminals return, squeezing margins and lowering ROI. Retrofits and software patches rarely move the needle; selective decommissioning or targeted replacement is the more cost-effective path.
Small licenses in over-taxed, over-regulated micro-markets
Thin demand plus high compliance friction produce weak unit economics in Codere's small licenses in over‑taxed micro‑markets. Market share is low and growth is flat, drawing management attention away from higher‑return segments. Capital sits idle and yields minimal ROI; divest and refocus on scale markets to restore operating leverage and free cash flow.
Aging online skins in non-core countries
Aging online skins in non-core countries show minimal brand pull and face heavy local competition, keeping market share tiny; marketing would need outsized spend to move the needle. They generate negligible contribution to Codere’s strategic markets (Spain, Mexico, LatAm) and do not justify continued operational focus or capital allocation. Sunset or sell these assets.
- Low share
- High marketing cost
- Negligible contribution
- Recommend: sunset/sell
Niche game formats with poor engagement
Niche game formats show low session times and D30 retention—market data in 2024 indicates such variants often record under 5-minute sessions and retention below 6–8%, so revenue contribution typically trickles and rarely exceeds low-single-digit percent of operator GGR.
- Low engagement: avg session <5 min (2024 market)
- Low retention: D30 ~6–8% (2024)
- Minimal revenue: <2–5% GGR contribution
- Resource drain: occupy roadmap and ops without payoff
- Action: cut losses and redeploy capital
Consolidate or sell: shutter low-util bingo halls, free capital, refocus growth
Codere Dogs: underperforming bingo halls and legacy terminals in low-growth, aging catchments (EU 65+ >20% Eurostat 2024) face <2–3% euro-area inflation (2024), rising costs and shrinking demand; utilization often <20% and online/skin market share negligible, D30 retention 6–8% with <2–5% GGR contribution. Recommend consolidation, selective decommissioning or sale to free capital and restore focus.
| Metric | 2024 Value | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Bingo halls growth | Low (aging demo) | Consolidate/exit |
| Terminal util. | <20% | Decommission/replace |
| D30 retention | 6–8% | Cut losses |
| GGR contrib. | <2–5% | Divest |
Question Marks
Brazil online betting and casino (post-regulation)
Post-regulation Brazil offers explosive upside for online betting/casino: with roughly 203 million people and about 160 million internet users (2024), addressable digital reach is massive but Codere’s current market share remains low, so timing and execution will decide success. Entry costs and effective tax burdens are high under the 2024 licensing framework, yet early wins in wallet share and payments can convert this Question Mark into a Star. Miss the window and competitor consolidation and regulatory compliance costs can push it rapidly toward low-growth status.
Chile and Peru digital expansion
Regulatory tailwinds in Chile (population ~19.7M) and Peru (~34.2M) support digital betting growth, but Codere’s position remains nascent with limited market share. Customer acquisition costs are uncertain and competitors are circling, requiring heavy upfront spend to build brand and payments rails. Double down only if unit economics (LTV/CAC) prove out quickly.
Esports and specialty props
Esports and specialty props target a young, digitally native audience with rising engagement; the global esports audience is around 500 million in 2024, but demand remains highly fragmented. Pricing and risk require new models and third-party data partners to price micro-markets and limit exposure. Early revenues at Codere are thin versus operational effort and tech costs. If scale emerges this can become a strategic differentiator; if not, park it.
In-house slots/content studio
Owning an in-house slots/content studio can lift margins and player loyalty but hit rates remain unpredictable, making outcomes volatile. Success demands creative talent, strict roadmap discipline, and strong distribution partnerships to scale hits. Cash burn is front-loaded; a small number of hit titles can materially reset Codere’s P&L.
- Margin upside via owned IP and retention
- Requires talent, roadmap, distribution
- Front-loaded cash burn; few winners alter P&L
Hyper-personalized CRM and AI trading tools
Hyper-personalized CRM and AI trading tools are Question Marks for Codere: they promise real upside in customer lifetime value and hold, but scalable proof remains pending; build costs and data governance requirements are non-trivial, and early tests can produce noisy KPIs before optimization yields consistent gains.
Post-regulation Brazil: huge digital upside; Chile/Peru need heavy CAC; esports = high-risk bet
Post-regulation Brazil (population 203M; internet users ~160M in 2024) offers large digital upside but Codere’s share is nascent, so timing and execution will decide conversion to a Star. Chile (~19.7M) and Peru (~34.2M) show regulated growth opportunities but require heavy CAC to scale. Esports (global audience ~500M in 2024), owned content and AI CRM are high-potential but high-cost, high-risk Question Marks.
| Metric | 2024 Fact |
|---|---|
| Brazil population | 203 million |
| Brazil internet users | ~160 million |
| Chile population | 19.7 million |
| Peru population | 34.2 million |
| Global esports audience | ~500 million |
