Stanleybet will use the funds raised to finance its business development strategy and strengthen its position in the industry. Specifically, 30% will be allocated to marketing and promotion for the online division, 30% for acquisitions and expansion of the sports betting network, 20% for entry into foreign markets, and 20% for the retail marketing and promotion plan.

Csaba Tanko, CEO of Stanleybet, stated: "The Stanleybet bond offering proved to be a competitive investment alternative, both in terms of the characteristics of the instrument and Stanleybet Capital's profile as a trusted issuer."

This bond issue is Stanleybet's second, following a private placement in August 2021 that raised RON 20 million (around €4 million). The first bond issue was fully repaid in August 2024.
