Fortuna Entertainment Group is to acquire a 100 per cent share in Hattrick Sports Group of Ireland, subject to regulatory approvals.

Hattrick for Fortuna

The acquisition of Hattrick will further strengthen Fortuna’s position as a leading licenced multi-channel sports betting and gaming operator in central and south-eastern Europe.

Established in 2009 in the Czech Republic, Fortuna now also has a strong presence in Slovakia, Poland and Romania.

Hattrick is the owner of the leading betting operator in Romania, Casa Pariurilor, the second largest operator in Croatia, PSK, and a joint venture partner in Luckia operator in Spain; thus extending Fortuna’s reach further.

“The acquisition of Hattrick is a key milestone in our plans of becoming the number-one licensed multi-channel betting and gaming operator in central and eastern Europe, as well as a testament for our value creation strategy,” said Per Widerström, CEO of Fortuna.

“Our intention is to retain the Fortuna and Casa Pariurilor brands in Romania as well as PSK and Hattrick in Croatia.”
