International sports betting company Parimatch is today announcing its evolution into ‘Parimatch Tech’ to highlight its transition from a traditional betting company to a fully digitalised and product-focused technology business. The name change is the latest step in the company’s long-term technological transformation, beginning back in 2010 when only 5% of punters were betting online.

Parimatch Tech is an international product company and will continue to promote the well-established Parimatch brand globally while also providing technology and marketing solutions for the gaming and entertainment industry. As the owner and creator of the Parimatch brand, the company is engaged in brand positioning and marketing, securing new partnerships, entering into contracts with ambassadors and developing the brand ecosystem.

The company’s rebrand highlights the globalization of the business and is aimed at generating brand awareness among partners and users around the world. Having already consolidated its leading position in the CIS region, Parimatch Tech is bringing the Parimatch brand to international markets via its partners in Ukraine, Cyprus, the UK, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Kenya, and Nigeria, as well as other countries in Europe, Asia, and Oceania.

“Parimatch Tech will continue to invest in both established and emerging markets, partnering with local businesses and entrepreneurs to create new job opportunities and strengthen and expand existing offerings. Each market is unique, so our teams adapt platforms to local user preferences, economic conditions, and the rules and regulation of the gambling market,” added Roman Syrotian, co-CEO of Parimatch Tech.

“Becoming Parimatch Tech is a natural step for us as a company, and formalizes and reflects our technological transformation. It is a sign of the maturity of our company internally, and we are pleased to share this news with both the public and our partners. While there are many challenges laying before our industry and ambitious targets for us to meet, Parimatch Tech is confident in its ability to continue to modernise and improve the gaming and entertainment industry across the world,” said Maksym Liashko, co-CEO of Parimatch.

Parimatch Tech is an international product company. Established in 1994, the brand has grown into an entertainment platform represented on four continents and in more than ten countries. The company’s main office is located in Limassol, Cyprus, with development centers in Ukraine, Cyprus, Armenia, and Belarus.

Parimatch Tech promotes the brand’s fighting spirit through a vibrant team of brand ambassadors. The Parimatch team of champions includes MMA superstar Conor McGregor, UFC fighters Petr Yan and the Shevchenko sisters; a famous former brand representative is the legendary king of the boxing ring, Mike Tyson. The company has concluded partnership agreements with football clubs Juventus, Leicester City, and Everton and works with several sports federations.

Parimatch Tech is actively developing its eSports offering, providing eSports fans with a wide range of betting events. The Parimatch brand is the title sponsor of the eSports organization Virtus.Proa and counts eSports stars Daniil ‘Zeus’ Teslenko and Marcelo David ‘Сoldzera’ as global brand ambassadors .
