Stanleybet Capital, owner of a network of sports betting and slot machine agencies, has listed its second corporate bond issue worth RON 14.8 million (almost €3 million), on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB).

The bonds, trading under the ticker symbol SBET29, feature a fixed annual interest rate of 11%, with semi-annual payments, and will mature in February 2029. A total of 148,124 bonds were subscribed with a nominal value of RON 100 lei.

Goldring served as the intermediary for the listing.

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.
