Key points:
- The agreement provides a strong financial platform for the operator
- Superbet recently expanded into the Brazilian market
Superbet Group has announced an agreement with Blackstone and HPS Investment Partners (HPS) related to €1.3bn ($1.35bn) in refinancing.
This is set to support the operator’s financial position as it looks to continue its global expansion efforts, with it recently launching in Brazil.
Further to expansion, this refinancing agreement is set to provide M&A optionality and the opportunity to create further growth through investment in technology.
Previously, Superbet was supported with an investment into its proprietary technology platform, which boosted growth for the operator. It is hoped this latest agreement will likewise create further chances for growth.

Our unique business model seamlessly integrates strategic investments in cutting-edge technology with a diversified product portfolio, carefully aligned with modern consumer trends.
