Background Information

Betex Group plc is a London based, UK licensed bookmaker with established interests in Europe, China and the Far East.
The Group’s strategic intent in Asia is reflected in successfully winning contracts to co-manage the State Sports Lottery in the Chinese Provinces of Hebei and Guizhou. As the only Western company to obtain an operable involvement in the Sports Lottery in China, Betex Group plc has ensured considerable first-mover advantage in a highly-attractive market.
In addition to its activity in China and the Far East, the company has a compelling global online portfolio. Launched in 2004, Betex.com has rapidly become one of the most popular sites for Asian Handicap football betting, covering worldwide markets and offering a diverse range of football betting opportunities. Highly competitive odds and an attractive commission structure further strengthen a unique proposition. Betex also offers its customers a gaming site with a suite of online casino games including Mahjong.
Betex Group plc has continued to consolidate its position as a global player in the gaming market, evidenced by the recent acquisition of three licensed betting offices in the UK and its role in a ground-breaking initiative to launch new football lottery ‘Mega-shops’ in Guangdong, China.
Originally listed on the London Ofex market in May 2005, the company’s shares were admitted to trading on AIM in March 2006, capping a period of considerable success and providing the foundations for future growth in its key markets.
