Sportingbet Acquires Two Danish Firms

The online gaming company is to spend up to £8.5m acquiring two Danish sports-betting firms. Danbook and Scandic Bookmakers have been seen as a less risky acquisition as the market in the region is regulated. Ladbrokes this week called off takeover talks over worries about Sportingbet’s business in Turkey, where online gambling is illegal.
