Stability in the region

Radim Haluza, taking on the CEO role, brings experience as the CEO of SuperSport, Croatia’s largest gaming and sportsbook operator, acquired by Entain CEE in November 2022 for £690 million. Juroszek, in his role as Chairman, outlined the division of responsibilities, with Haluza focusing on operational management while strategic goals remain at the forefront. The priority for the newly appointed leadership is to continue capitalizing on the dynamic growth of the Polish betting market and exploring opportunities for expansion across the region with Entain CEE.

STS’s robust performance

In the wake of Entain CEE’s acquisition of STS, the management reshuffle signifies a new era for the company. Mateusz Juroszek’s transition to Chairman and Radim Haluza’s appointment as CEO set the stage for continued growth and stability. The strategic focus on Poland’s burgeoning betting market and the broader regional expansion aligns with Entain CEE’s commitment to exploring and leveraging the potential in Central and Eastern Europe. STS’s impressive H1 2023 financial results, with a 56.4 percent growth in net profit and a 34.1% rise in adjusted EBITDA, underscore the company’s resilience and strategic prowess. As the iGaming landscape evolves, STS, under its new leadership, remains poised for further success and market dominance.
