Entain CEE, a joint venture owned by the UK-listed gambling giant and the Czech investment fund Emma Capital, has agreed to buy Poland’s STS Holding. It will pay PLN24.80 per share, valuing the deal at around £750m.

Entain CEE was established last year with the intention of seeking opportunities in central and Eastern Europe. In November, it acquired SuperSport, the leading bookmaker in Croatia for around €600m. Entain aims to use the acquisition to establish a presence and launch wider growth in Balkan markets.

It will now buy a controlling 70% share in STS from family foundations owned by chief executive Mateusz Juroszek and his father Zbigniew. They have signed a binding agreement to accept the offer. They will reinvest a portion of their proceeds into Entain CEE, granting them 10% of the business depending on financial targets.

Juroszek will stay on as CEO, a position he is occupied for 11 years. He will also join the Entain CEE board. Entain said he was critical to STS’s growth.

Juroszek said: “I am very excited to be joining the board of Entain CEE, and see significant growth opportunities in the Polish market for STS under Entain’s ownership.

“Entain is a world-class operator and has already made a significant investment in this region through SuperSport in Croatia. We could not have found a better partner to help us take STS into the next phase of its growth, and it is clear that Entain shares our ambition and vision for its future.

“I look forward to continuing to lead and grow STS, and to working in close collaboration with the Entain CEE team.”

Entain CEO Jette Nygaard-Andersen said: “We are delighted to be acquiring the leading sports-betting operator in Poland, which is a hugely exciting and fast-growing market. STS is an exceptional business with a great brand, a compelling omnichannel offering, and an outstanding CEO and management team.

“The transaction is perfectly aligned with our Entain CEE strategy and our wider M&A strategy of acquiring high-quality businesses with leading positions in attractive, growing and regulated markets. Expansion across Central and Eastern Europe remains a core component of our growth plans, and STS will be an integral part of our platform in that region.”

The acquisition will be funded by Entain and Emma Capital based on their respective stakes in Entain CEE. Entain is the majority shareholder with 75% of the business. It plans to raise £600m through an equity placement and a retail offer to existing shareholders. The remaining funds from the placement will be used for future acquisitions in the near term.

Soft2Bet has launched TopBet.ro, a new Romanian sportsbook designed to cater to local habits and preferences. Built with a clear focus on motorsport and match-day culture, the brand combines competitive odds and fast mobile journeys with an auto-themed identity that resonates with local fans.

From launch, TopBet.ro has been tuned to the way Romanians follow sport. Football and motorsport are front and centre, with timely markets, match-day boosts and content that reflects supporters’ weekly rituals. Romania’s proximity to major European circuits and easy short-haul travel make it a natural home for motorsport fans, and TopBet.ro responds with creative campaigns, themed missions and seasonal offers built around grand prix weekends. The same care is evident throughout the interface: clear navigation, quick bet placement, and a clean, mobile-first design.

Yoel Zuckerberg, Chief Product Officer at Soft2Bet, said: “With TopBet.ro, we set out to create a brand that feels Romanian from the first tap, then added MEGA missions and challenges that turn derby days and grand prix weekends into journeys people return to. What we prove on our own brands becomes the toolkit we offer partners, combining culturally tuned products with measurable engagement and the ability to scale with minimal integration effort.”

Brand representative from TopBet.ro commented: “TopBet.ro is designed for Romanian fans who want more from every match. Together with Soft2Bet, we built a platform that connects sport, competition, and rewards in a way that feels natural and exciting. Our goal is to give every player the chance to experience the game like a champion.”

Alongside sports, TopBet.ro offers a comprehensive casino lobby for quick breaks or a change of pace, featuring popular slots, live dealer tables, and sports-themed titles, all delivered in a mobile-first format with clear navigation and quick load times. The experience is powered by Soft2Bet’s performance-first platform, which delivers speed, stability, and smooth gameplay, along with responsible play tools tailored to local requirements. A key part of this is MEGA (Motivational Engineering Gaming Application), the engagement engine that turns play into progress through missions, challenges and quests that unlock rewards and keep sessions fresh.

The approach has already proved successful in Romania, where seasonal quests and local events are firm favourites among players. By turning everyday actions into clear milestones and rewards, MEGA lifts session depth and repeat visits, helping first-time players become long-term customers.
