Greentube Expands Into Czech Market with Kingsbet Acquisition, Eyes Online Gaming Growth
  • Greentube, the NOVOMATIC Digital Gaming and Entertainment division, is acquiring 100% of Kingsbet CZ to enter the Czech Republic’s regulated B2C online gaming market, subject to regulatory approval.

  • Greentube will take full ownership of Kingsbet, the online arm of land-based operator Kings Entertainment A.S., pending regulatory clearance and other conditions.

  • The move shifts Greentube from a content supplier to a direct online operator in one of Central Europe’s fastest-growing iGaming markets.

  • The Czech online market has grown rapidly, with 2025 online gambling accounting for about 59.2% of CZK 68 billion (roughly EUR 2.7 billion) in GGR, illustrating strong online revenue growth in a regulated framework.

  • Regulators describe the Czech market as attractive and regulated, with 2025 data showing total GGR around CZK 68 billion and online channels making up the majority.

  • Kingsbet CZ began operating in the regulated Czech iGaming market in 2024, powered by Bragg Gaming’s platform.

  • The deal aims to give Greentube local operational expertise and market knowledge to support its growth in the Czech Republic.

  • Kingsbet CZ provides Greentube with local know-how to back long-term expansion in the Czech market.

  • Completion of the acquisition depends on regulatory approvals and other conditions.

  • Kingsbet CZ is a locally licensed online sportsbook and casino run by Kings Entertainment A.S.; the deal price was not disclosed.

  • Greentube’s CEO Ronald van den Brink calls the Czech market a natural step in long-term growth, and Kingsbet’s CEO David Vaník sees growth, investment opportunities, and access to advanced technology as benefits.

  • Greentube’s B2C footprint is expanding with brands in Italy, Germany, and the UK, signaling broader regional growth.
