The Greek have served as the firm’s Chief Commercial Officer (CCO – 2016) and following a candidate internal and external review. The promotion of Chalikias has been approved by Favbet owner Andrii Valierevich. The Greek CEO has a great experience when it comes to Eastern European sports betting.

With more than 20 years of experience, FavBet requires little introduction. It dominates the Eastern European market and is the leading gambling operator in Ukraine. Unlike many betting sites, it focuses a lot on localization, offering different domains, multiple website languages, and several local currencies and payment options. I like that the platform is built in-house; it shows that the aim is to offer something unique. I also enjoy the variety of markets available in football and basketball, as well as the high odds on the major sports. Despite being a front-runner in the CIS countries for many years, this is the first serious attempt to expand globally. I have a lot of doubts, because Eastern European bookmakers tend to limit international players fast. In addition, the absence of key features such as Cash Out and Bet Builder is notable. I would also like to see the commission fees removed and the max withdrawal limit per transaction increased. Nevertheless, I can confidently suggest FavBet, whether you are a recreational or professional bettor. Feel free to try it.
