from mangement of customer funds

Pity they cant afford to improve the security of those funds by making the website login as secure as other institutions that hold customers funds.

Revenue from management of customer funds  0.9 M

is this interest from client accounts?

yup

You don't know that from the statement Martinch.  It could be anything maybe renegotiated client account charges or clawback on dormant accounts but it does not say that the reason for the growth is interest.  In any case the income is tiny.

From the prospectus:
"Betfair receives a management fee representing interest earned from the investment of customer deposits. This fee is recorded as ‘‘revenue from management of customer funds’’ in the Core Betfair segment."

and from the last Annual Report
"Revenue from the management of customer funds held on deposit in
separate ring fenced accounts grew by 30.9% to £3.3 million, reflecting the increase in the average level of customer deposits held during the period and a slightly higher interest rate environment."

That's good enough for me....
