Betsafe which was established in 2006, has been focused on the nordic market and most of their turnover has been acquired from their high class casino products and a very well respected sports book. According to di.se, Betsafe increased their revenue with 119 percent between the 1st of May 2010 and the 30th of April 2011 which resulted in an operating profit of approximately €6.9 million.
Both companies are licensed by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority of Malta and both poker rooms are powered by the Ongame Poker network although Betsson also offers the Entraction poker product which was recently bought by ITG in early May 2011.
