HSV and AdmiralBet continue to go down the same path. As an exclusive and official sports betting partner, AdmiralBet has already been at HSV’s side since 2019. The long-standing partnership has now been extended until 30 June 2024.
Within the extended partnership, AdmiralBet is present on the premium video and LED boards in the Volksparkstadion. The company also supports content formats on HSV’s digital channels, such as the popular AdmiralBet Challenge. For the second half of the season, HSV and AdmiralBet have also come up with a new and interactive fan tool: In the AdmiralBet numbers game, fans can test their knowledge of HSV on every matchday and compete with their friends.
“The cooperation between HSV and AdmiralBet is characterised by reliability and mutual trust, which is illustrated by the extension of the partnership to a total of five years. It is exciting to see how joint projects that combine both business areas lead to creative content formats for our fans,” says Jonas Boldt, CEO of HSV Fußball AG.
Florian Hermann, Director Marketing & Operations of NOVO INTERACTIVE GmbH, based in Rellingen near Hamburg, on the extension of the partnership: “It is a great honour for us to continue to be a partner of HSV. The previous cooperation with the traditional club has absolutely fulfilled our expectations. HSV and AdmiralBet share values such as team spirit, the will to win and fair play. The fans and the passion for football are our focus. We also underline this with the extension of the sponsorship. We are therefore pleased to be able to continue the trusting partnership in the coming season.”
Johannes Haupt, Senior Director Team HSV of the marketer SPORTFIVE, added: “We are very pleased about the contract extension with AdmiralBet. The trust placed in us to extend the contract at an early stage once again underlines the great charisma of Hamburger SV as well as the associated diverse advertising opportunities within the framework of a partnership that has been successfully lived for many years.”

Promatic Games and SYNOT Interactive Announce Strategic Partnership to Strengthen iGaming Expansion in Central and Eastern Europe

Promatic Games, a recognized provider of innovative iGaming content and one of the leaders of the Polish market, and SYNOT Interactive, a dynamic technology company headquartered in the Czech Republic, have officially announced a strategic partnership. The objective of the cooperation is the distribution of the Promatic Games portfolio to SYNOT Interactive’s aggregation customers, with a focus on the strategic markets of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The cooperation will accelerate growth for both parties by combining Promatic Games’ tailored gaming portfolio with SYNOT Interactive’s proven platform and extensive presence in regulated European markets.
SYNOT Interactive will be the first aggregation partner for Promatic Games in the Czech and Slovak markets.
“Up until now we have taken a few important steps to enter the Czech and Slovak markets. We have a portfolio of certified games for those markets, and we have integrated with a few platform providers. We have also launched our games with several operators. But obviously, cooperation with a brand like SYNOT Interactive brings new perspectives to our business there,” said Maciej Makuszewski, Head of iGaming at Promatic Games. “We are excited to work with SYNOT Interactive’s aggregation customers to generate great value for them. We are confident that our content will match customers’ tastes in these strategic markets, just as it has been proven in Poland, where we are one of the leading iGaming suppliers. We are of course looking forward to scaling up in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, but we are also ready for other challenges with our strategic partner. SYNOT Interactive’s Central European footprint aligns perfectly with our expansion strategy.”
By integrating Promatic Games content into SYNOT Interactive’s modular platform, operators in multiple jurisdictions will gain access to Promatic Games quickly and efficiently. The cooperation will begin with Slovakia and the Czech Republic—both highly regulated markets where SYNOT already maintains a strong operator base—and will later extend to Romania, Croatia, and other Balkan markets. This geographic overlap between Promatic Games’ strategic goals and SYNOT Interactive’s established infrastructure makes the partnership especially powerful.
“At SYNOT Interactive, we are dedicated to building partnerships that create lasting value for both operators and players. We know Promatic Games’ content is strong in Poland, and we believe that, given the content’s quality and type, it can be a great fit for our Central European casino partners. By joining forces, we can accelerate innovation and deliver an enhanced player experience in regulated markets. We appreciate the technology that Promatic Games provides, and we are confident it will work well on the scale that SYNOT Interactive can offer,” said Petr Březina, Head of Sales, from SYNOT Interactive.
The agreement underscores how strategic alliances are shaping the future of the iGaming industry. With regulatory landscapes becoming increasingly complex, operators require diverse gaming content that meets local compliance standards. The cooperation between Promatic Games and SYNOT Interactive demonstrates how combining expertise can generate synergies in distribution, compliance, and player engagement, creating mutual benefits for both companies and their partners.
