Roman Nováček leads investor syndicate acquiring minority stake in Oddin.gg, valued in the low hundreds of millions CZK. J&T Ventures leads the round, joined by Rockaway X, Naše Česko, BD Partners, and others. Oddin.gg, a Czech technology startup and global leader in esports betting infrastructure, has closed a new investment round that will support its global expansion, entry into new regulated markets, and continued development of technologies reshaping the esports betting industry.

Esports betting has experienced rapid growth in recent years, with market value projected to exceed USD 20 billion by 2027. Rising interest from younger audiences and the ongoing legalization of betting in numerous countries have created fertile ground for the adoption of innovative solutions. Yet, a key bottleneck for traditional sportsbooks entering the esports space is the lack of supporting infrastructure.

Oddin.gg offers a turnkey B2B platform that enables operators to enter the esports market efficiently, without the need for extensive internal development. Its comprehensive solution includes everything from AI-generated odds feeds and front-end interfaces to automated risk management and engagement tools. Clients already include leading betting companies such as Betway, Betsson, Dafabet, and Czech-based Tipsport.

We help operators deliver highly-profitable, user-friendly esports betting products without compromising on technology, speed, or security. What truly sets us apart is our high level of modularity and customization: our partners can tailor everything from design and betting rules to odds and risk strategies,” explains Vlastimil Venclík, CEO and co-founder of Oddin.gg.

 

Rocket Growth with Financial Discipline

Founded in 2018, Oddin.gg reported revenue growth of 7,958% between 2020 and 2023, making it one of Europe’s fastest-growing tech companies. In 2024, it topped the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Central Europe ranking.

I saw potential in Oddin.gg six years ago, when most overlooked it, and led the company’s seed investment round. My trust has been fully validated by its performance, and this new transaction continues a long-term partnership. I’m confident that through our new fund, we’ll identify and support more exceptional opportunities like this,” says Roman Nováček, investment manager.

Unlike most startups at a similar stage, Oddin.gg is already generating significant profits — a testament to its functional, scalable, and financially healthy business model.

We’ve been following Oddin.gg for some time and believe they’re building a critical layer in the global esports ecosystem. We value not only their technological edge but also their strategic direction, which now includes entry into new verticals and capitalizing on a strong market position. We’re excited to be with the company in this next phase of growth,” adds David Polach, Partner at J&T Ventures.

 

Setting a New Standard in Esports Betting

Oddin.gg will use the investment to scale its product and data teams, expand its technology capabilities, and prepare for entry into new markets, including Latin America and other high-potential regions. The company is also working on new personalization and gamification features to further enhance the esports betting experience.

This investment validates our long-term vision and our position as a global leader in esports betting. It gives us the momentum to hit the next milestones — and we’re excited to do so with strong, experienced partners by our side,” concludes Venclík.
