Superbet Secures Major Refinancing
Superbet has secured a €1.3 billion refinancing deal with Blackstone and HPS Investment Partners. The funds will support the company’s expansion into new markets, acquisitions, and investments in technology.
Expanding Operations Across Key Regions
Superbet dominates the Romanian market and has a strong presence in Poland and Belgium, following its acquisition of Napoleon Sports & Casino. The company also operates in Croatia, where it runs a major tech hub, and has a product development center in Spain. In Latin America, it was among the first operators to receive a gaming license in Brazil.
The company plans to use the refinancing to enhance its gaming offerings and adapt to changing consumer trends. With a focus on digital growth, it aims to strengthen its product lineup while entering high-potential markets.
