Boonuspart.ee, a leading Estonian portal focused on casino bonuses and online casino comparisons, has acquired Kasiino-boonus.ee, further consolidating its position in the Estonian iGaming affiliate market.
The acquisition brings together two well-established Estonian-language casino resources to enhance content depth, accuracy of comparisons and overall user experience for players seeking up-to-date casino bonuses and reliable information.

By combining these strengths, Boonuspart.ee aims to create a more comprehensive and authoritative platform for Estonian players.
“This acquisition supports our long-term strategy of building the most trusted and informative casino bonus resource in Estonia. Kasiino-boonus.ee has a strong legacy in the local market, and we see clear synergies in terms of content, SEO, and player value,” Teemu Pesonen, co-founder of Boonuspart, said.
