Sportnco enters Greece’s online betting and gaming market following the migration of NetBet.gr Sportsbook, the Greek-focused brand of NetBet Enterprises, announced the company August 17. The Greek brand of NetBet had been granted Type 1 & Type 2 Online Gaming Licenses in the country by the Hellenic Gaming Commission.
Following a regulatory transition, Greece will see its new iGaming legislation coming into force this summer, allowing licensed operators to offer online sports betting and gaming, including casino and poker. Sportnco received a supplier’s type license from the HGC to work in the country, and has a long-standing partnership with the NetBet Brand.
On the importance of the announcement, Hervé Schlosser, CEO and founder of Sportnco, said: “We are delighted to be expanding our relationship with NetBet and onboarding NetBet Enterprises on our portfolio of clients.”
Schlosser believes that the newly-regulated Greek market will enable Sportnco to “demonstrate its know-how for meeting complex IT and trading requirements”, as the supplier of turnkey betting and gaming solutions is once again excited to expand its international footprint.
