Stars
Mexico is the fastest-growing digital market for Codere, with online penetration at ~42% of adults and Codere Online holding an estimated 22% market share as of Q4 2025; brand recognition scores exceed 60% in key states.
Despite strong revenue growth—online net gaming revenue up ~38% YoY in 2025 to ~€120m—Codere invests heavily in marketing, spending ~€18m in 2025 to defend leadership.
High sector growth (regulated market CAGR ~27% 2023–2028) makes Codere Mexico a Star in the BCG matrix and a primary engine for future group revenue.
Spain is a mature yet evolving market where Codere held roughly 30% online sports-betting market share in 2024, maintaining a leading position across regulated provinces.
The firm leverages 1,200+ retail shops to drive cross-channel user acquisition, creating a high-growth ecosystem that attracts 18–34-year-olds who account for ~48% of digital bets.

Panamanian Casino Operations sit in the Stars quadrant: Codere leads with ~35% market share in 2024 and revenue growth of 11% yoy to $78m, driven by premium play and VIP programs.

Codere reinvests ~12% of local revenue yearly into renovations and loyalty tech; capex planned $9m for 2025 to protect share.
Omnichannel Integration Services
Omnichannel Integration Services is a star for Codere in the BCG matrix: by end-2025 omnichannel adoption in gaming rose to ~48% of revenue in mature markets, and Codere’s seamless retail-to-digital flows drive higher LTV and retention, creating a clear competitive edge.
It demands high capex—estimated €30–50m for platform build and integrations—but captures a fast-growing segment as online gaming grew 12% YoY in 2025, making the investment accretive to market share.
- Omnichannel = higher LTV, lower churn
- Capex €30–50m for software/platforms
- Online gaming +12% YoY (2025)
- ~48% revenue share in mature markets (2025)

These marketing assets are essential to defend a leading market share—Codere reported a 26% share of online sports betting in Spain in 2024—against aggressive international competitors like Bet365 and Flutter.
Although annual sponsorship costs exceeded €45m in 2024, these deals boosted group digital revenue by 22% and accelerated cross-market growth across the portfolio.

Cash Cows
The Spanish retail gaming machines unit is a mature cash cow, generating steady EBITDA margins around 25% and estimated annual free cash flow of €60–75m in 2024, with near-zero revenue growth in a saturated market.
It acts as Codere’s financial backbone, supplying liquidity for digital investment—about €40m–€60m redirected to online and Brazil expansion in 2023–24.
Given saturation, management prioritizes cost-per-machine cuts, lifecycle extension to 7–9 years, and CAPEX reduction to protect margins and cash conversion.
Italy remains a stable, high-share market for Codere’s traditional bingo and VLT (video lottery terminal) halls, delivering steady EBITDA margins around 18–22% in 2024 and accounting for roughly 25% of group adjusted EBITDA, per Codere 2024 results.
Market growth is muted under tight regulation and stake caps, so promotional spend is low and churn limited, keeping operating cash flow reliable at ~€60–80 million annually.
Codere channels most cash from these assets to service €1.1 billion of corporate debt and to fund higher-growth Latin American expansions, notably in Mexico and Colombia where revenue growth outpaced Europe in 2024.
Despite Argentina's 2024 GDP volatility (estimated -1.8% real) Codere's long-standing gaming halls capture a loyal base across 60+ cities, generating roughly €120–140m annual local-currency EBITDA equivalent in 2023–24, providing steady cash flow.
These halls report high operating margins near 30% due to scale and efficiency, dominating local market share (~35% in machine gaming) and serving as a reliable source of pesos revenue amid FX pressures.
Market growth is low (<2% annual), so capex is largely maintenance and compliance—Codere spent ~€15–20m on Argentine capex in 2024, focused on regulatory upgrades and showroom upkeep.
Uruguayan Racetrack and Casino Management
The Maroñas National Racecourse and linked gaming rooms in Uruguay deliver stable, high-market-share cash flows for Codere, supported by long-term concessions through 2028–2035 and minimal physical competition; in 2024 this segment contributed an estimated €18–22m EBITDA, underpinning steady dividends and low volatility.
- Long-term concessions (up to 2035)
- High market share in Uruguayan on-site gaming
- 2024 EBITDA ~€18–22m
- Predictable cash generation, low capex needs
Traditional Retail Sports Betting Shops
Traditional retail sports betting shops in Codere’s core European markets deliver steady revenue, accounting for roughly 45% of group net gaming revenue in 2024 and serving a loyal walk-in base despite mobile growth.
The sector needs low incremental capex—no major new placements—so Codere focuses on harvesting customer lifetime value via in-shop promotions and cross-selling, keeping EBITDA margins near 22% in 2024 for retail operations.
Brick-and-mortar still hold ~60% share of walk-in bets in Spain and LATAM retail corridors, providing predictable cash flow while mobile transitions occur.
- 45% of net gaming revenue (2024)
- ~22% retail EBITDA margin (2024)
- ~60% walk-in market share in key markets
- Low incremental capex; focus on CLV harvesting
Codere’s cash cows—Spain retail machines, Italy VLT/bingo, Argentina halls, Uruguay concessions, and European retail shops—generated ~€260–300m EBITDA in 2024, funded €40–60m digital/Brazil capex, and covered ~€1.1bn debt service; margins: Spain ~25%, Italy 18–22%, Argentina ~30%, Uruguay €18–22m EBITDA, retail ~22%.
