Our take

Livescore Group is a union of sports streaming, digital media, and online betting companies that includes Livescore (founded in 1997), Livescore Bet, and Virgin Bet. With streaming services predicted to spend $6 billion on sports rights in 2023 alone, the Livescore Group is located in the heart of a lucrative industry, and that’s before the gambling side of their group is even considered.

Livescore Group makes considerable revenue from selling its advertising space, and with streaming becoming an increasingly popular way to engage with sports, it’s unsurprising that in 2022 the company received large sums of venture capital.

Livescore Group is using its 2022 funds to accelerate growth in Central and Eastern Europe, further bolstering its 35 million worldwide active monthly users.
