History [ edit ]
Beginning with 12 employees in its founding in 1997, bwin was formerly known as "betandwin" 🍇 until 2006. The company launched its first online gambling site in 1998, focusing on the growing sports betting market. One 🍇 of the most important developments in the company's history was the launch of its live betting product, developed in-house, allowing 🍇 players to place bets on sporting events while the actual event was taking place. The firm's initial public offering at 🍇 the Austrian Stock Exchange took place in March 2000.
Betandwin acquired Simon Bold (Gibraltar) in June 2001 and changed its name 🍇 to bwin International Ltd. This relocation to Gibraltar was done to keep up with the company's main competitors, who had 🍇 already moved to the British Overseas Territory.
