Fortuna acquires Hattrick Sports Group

  WSE-listed betting operator Fortuna Entertainment Group will takeover Hattrick Sports Group for maximum €135 million. Fortuna will initially pay €85 million with the remainder of the deal being calculated based on the future Hattrick revenue, but will not exceed €50 million. “The acquisition of Hattrick Sports Group is a key milestone in Fortuna Entertainment Group’s plans of becoming ‘The No.1 licensed multichannel betting and gaming operator in Central and Eastern Europe’ as well as a testament for our value creation strategy. Our intention is to retain the Fortuna and Casa Pariurilor brands in Romania as well as PSK and Hattrick in Croatia. On a regional level, we will combine the best of both companies with the aim to create more exciting offers for our customers, better opportunities for our employees and business partners, thus increasing value for our shareholders,,” Fortuna’s general director Per Widerström was quoted as saying. Hattrick Sports Group operates on Romanian, Croatian and Spanish markets. Fortuna Entertainment Group is present in several CEE countries, including Poland, Czechia and Slovakia.
