Sportserve

What Sportserve does

Sportserve, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Sliema, Malta, is the unified employer brand of the Sportelligent Group of sports betting and sportsbook technology companies. The group originates from AsianLogic (founded 2002) and operates a dual B2C/B2B model. On the consumer side, the group runs six wagering and casino brands including Dafabet (launched 2008), Nextbet, Zedbet, MSW.ph (Philippines), Zipang Casino, and Casino Jamboree, serving sports betting and casino customers across multiple international markets. On the B2B side, Sportserve (via the Sportion subsidiary) licenses a white-label sportsbook platform with real-time odds management to third-party sportsbook operators, complemented by Arion, a real-time text analytics tool for customer support supervision. The group has no external funding rounds disclosed and has historically been self-funded.

The operating structure is organized into three internal divisions alongside the consumer and B2B businesses. TechSpirit (founded 2020, Sotogrande, Spain, with a second office in Leeds, UK) provides DevOps and software development for the group's consumer brands. Sportion (founded 2020, Athens, Greece, with offices in Belgrade and Yerevan) is the core global B2B services provider with 200+ staff. Standard Focus (founded 2017) is the dedicated customer service division. The group employs 1,001-5,000 people across offices in 10 countries spanning Europe, Africa, and Asia, and is monetized through B2C wagering transaction fees and B2B platform licensing. Brand visibility is supported by sponsorships with Celtic FC, Cricket South Africa, twelve UK county cricket clubs, and individual brand ambassadors in snooker and cricket. No revenue, customer counts, or financial performance are publicly disclosed.
