(Espelkamp).- The Gauselmann Group has acquired a significant majority stake in Bede Gaming, the leading online gaming platform headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne. Bede develops and markets online gaming platforms for operators of casino, sports betting and lottery offerings.
With this acquisition, the Gauselmann Group is further expanding its already strong digital presence, while at the same time creating new opportunities for the opening of the German online gaming market from 2021.
