Betsson Group is one of the largest companies in the iGaming industry in Europe. With brands such as Betsafe, Betsson, NordicBet, Guts, StarCasino and JallaCasino.se, they have been standing their ground in the ultimate competitive industry of iGaming for over six decades. Owned by Betsson AB, and listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, they will now back up The Festival Series with full force. It was already possible to qualify yourself for Bratislava through Guts, but now they will add other brands such as NordicBet, Betsafe, and Betsson as well in the mix. We are very grateful for the opportunity and will welcome players from the Betsson Group brands with open arms on November 27th in the capital city of Slovakia! Let’s dive a bit deeper into the history of the brands joining our cruise ship towards Bratislava: NordicBet, Betsafe, and Betsson.
One of the European largest Online Betting Providers, Betsson, with over 50 years of experience, switched to the iPoker network in 2020, due to the closure of MicroGaming. Today, Betsson is one of Europe’s largest online poker operators and has very decent playing fields. Only as of 2004, they entered the online poker world, and from the get-go, they have been a very reliable player in the industry. With great software available, and many Scandinavians on board, they are a true gem to today’s poker. Not only poker but also casino games and sports betting are available to anyone eligible to play on Betsson.
NordicBet is a skin of the Betsson Group, providing its services to Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Launched as a bookmaker initially in 2002, they entered the poker market in 2009. As of 2012, when Betsson AB bought the brand, they are part of the Betsson Group. Together with Betsson, they moved from MicroGaming to the iPoker network in 2020. Not only can you enjoy poker games at NordicBet, but you can also play casino games.
Betsafe saw the light in 2006 and roughly five years later it was Betsson Group who added the online poker giant of Denmark and Norway to its assortment. Although the Danish market was withdrawn in 2020, numerous of players spend their grinding time daily on Betsafe. With an electric welcome bonus and big players pool, and also backed up by the iPoker software.
