Greentube Expands Into Czech Market with Kingsbet Acquisition, Eyes Online Gaming Growth
May 5, 2026
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.
