We are proud to partner with them and expect the deal to have a positive impact on our business.”
Founded in 1990, Fortuna has an extensive network of approximately 1,300 betting outlets across its core market of the Czech Republic, as well as Slovakia, Poland and Hungary. The company also provides online betting services in the Czech Republic and in Poland.
Marco Falchetto, bwin.party’s director sports betting, said: “We are excited to enable Fortuna to offer their customers the same innovative sports betting experience that our customers have enjoyed since 2005.
