BETBY, the innovative sportsbook supplier, has further broadened its footprint after opening an office in Montenegro.

The site, based in the city of Budva, will see more than 15 members of the team relocate to the heart of the Old Town on the Adriatic, across a range of departments.

In addition, the space has the potential to expand capacity and act as a base for global personnel looking to relocate for the summer period, as the supplier continues to focus on employee wellbeing and encourage hybrid working.

It becomes the third office opened by BETBY, following locations in Latvia and Malta, as it continues its impressive growth. In 2022, its headcount almost doubled to more than 80, with the provider enjoying another strong commercial year.

Leonid Pertsovskiy, Chief Executive Officer at BETBY, said: “We’re delighted to be opening our brand new office in Montenegro. In a gorgeous part of the country, it resonates with our ethos of creating work environments that our employees are proud of, and we’re confident it will add to what is set to be a fantastic 2023 for us.

“With it being a full-time office, as well as a space for staff to treat it as a ‘getaway’ destination, we can’t wait to fully utilise the benefits of our latest location, and look forward to growing further over the course of the year.”

BETBY will be attending the ICE London exhibition, hosted at the ExCeL London, between 7^th-9^th February. They can be found at stand S1-130.
