The acquisition by Betclic’s parent company Banijay Group of a 65% stake in Germany’s leading bookmaker Tipico has redefined the European online sports betting industry and means France can now boast of having two operators in the top five of Europe’s leading gaming operators.
The agreement was announced yesterday (Tuesday) and SBC-Gaming&Co spoke with Betclic founder and CEO, and now chairman of the board of Banijay Gaming, Nicolas Béraud, to find out what this “new European champion in sports betting and online gaming” has planned and how it intends to drive on from here.
The new entity has more than 6.5 million players, is present in six countries and has revenues of more than €3bn and, as Beraud notes, the agreement features numerous benefits for both groups.
