LeoVegas sports to launch in Irish market

LeoVegas has been awarded an Irish gaming license for the launch of its sportsbook to accompany its already established mobile gaming offer in the market.

“LeoVegas continues to grow in regulated markets,” Gustaf Hagman, group chief executive officer and LeoVegas co-founder said. “The fact that we have in a short time been granted licences in two regulated markets shows that we are delivering in accordance with our expansion strategy. But it also shows that we have high capacity and quality in our organisation and in the work, we do. I am convinced that our market-leading sport product will contribute to strong growth in Ireland.”

LeoVegas’ Sports’ launch is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2017 and will be managed by LeoVegas’ existing organisation and resources.

In addition to its newly awarded sportsbook license, LeoVegas holds additional gaming licences in Malta, the UK, Ireland and Denmark.
