For Investors

The Russian sports betting market is among the most attractive for investment opportunities. It is one of the fastest-growing gambling markets globally. Hosting the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, the legalization of online betting, and the liberalization of advertising have significantly boosted the turnover of betting companies and, concurrently, positively impacted the industry's image and consumer trust.

Given these factors, sports betting is a strategic focus for our company.

However, during the same period, the market volume has nearly quadrupled, from 1 billion USD to almost 4 billion USD..
