The combination of online casino games and sports betting increased to 27{c118e36310c7bc75bef8f724f80ee0a52cfaf44be22f7e80906142f4c81518da} of total revenue compared to 21{c118e36310c7bc75bef8f724f80ee0a52cfaf44be22f7e80906142f4c81518da} of this time last year.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe continued our momentum in the first quarter as we execute on our strategy and reinforce the foundation for sustainable and diversified revenue growth, including through the strengthening of our core management team and operations,\u201d Amaya CEO Rafi Ashkenazi said on the conference call.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Adjusted earnings shot up 22{c118e36310c7bc75bef8f724f80ee0a52cfaf44be22f7e80906142f4c81518da} to $151m and net earnings rose 18.5{c118e36310c7bc75bef8f724f80ee0a52cfaf44be22f7e80906142f4c81518da} to $65.7m<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"timeline-for-move-and-new-cfo\">Timeline For Move And New CFO<\/h2>\n<p>Company shareholders will be asked to approve both the move and corporate rebrand at a forthcoming annual general meeting this summer.<\/p>\n<p>CEO Rafi Ashkenazi gave no indication as to when the move to Ontario will take place, but noted that it won\u2019t happen until the company\u2019s new chief financial officer is in place, who has yet to be named but apparently works out of T.O.<\/p>\n<p>Current CFO Daniel Sebag, a close friend and associate of ousted Amaya CEO David Baazov, announced his indefinite retirement plans back in January. All parties involved likely realize that this is a good time for Sebag and the company to part ways, as a continual effort on rebuilding its image and distancing itself from the negative press surrounding former CEO David Baazov.<\/p>\n<div class=\"calloutnotitle\">\nBaazov, the founder of Amaya, is due to stand trial in November in Montreal on five counts of securities fraud. Prosecutors accuse him of leaking non-public information about Amaya\u2019s acquisitions of PokerStars and Full Tilt to a close circle of friends and family so they could profit from illegal stock trades.
