History

Betclic was created in London by Nicolas Beraud in 2005 with a single employee and an investment of 3 million euros.[3] In 2008 Mangas Gaming bought a 75% share of Betclic from its owner for 50 million euros, with SBM buying a 50% share in the company the following year in 2009.[4] In 2010 it was announced that Betclic held 35–40% of the market share in France, being the largest betting company in the country,[5] holding 36% of the marker in 2013.[6] During Euro 2012, Betclic saw 2 million bets being placed over the sporting competition, seeing a profit made over that time of 12 million euros.[7] On 31 May 2016 Betclic merged with online poker company, Everest Poker.[8] In October 2016, they moved their London and Paris offices to Bordeaux.[9] In September 2018 Betclic acquired a licence to operate in Poland.[10]
