Better Collective strengthens Nordic position after acquiring Finnish firm Premium Administration OUMarch 12th, 2018 – Better Collective, the world’s leading developer of digital platforms for bookmaker information, iGaming communities, and betting tips, has strengthened its foothold in in the Nordic region with the acquisition of Finnish affiliate, Premium Administration OU.

A stronger position in the Nordic market

The seven-figure deal helps further Better Collective’s strategy of expanding its European presence. Better Collective has a strong history in the Nordic markets, but until now the smallest content presence has been in Finland. The acquisition of Premium Administration OU’s assets will bring Better Collective’s activities in Finland up to the level of the other Nordic markets.

Founded in 2014, Premium Administration OU, a casino and sports betting affiliate, was identified as a target for acquisition due to their unique and high-quality local content, with a strong marketing profile and user first approach.

As part of the asset deal, several sites, such as kasinosankarit.com and vastaveto.com were secured. These sites will work alongside Better Collective’s established Finnish arm.

Better Collective always seeks to empower users, and acquisition targets are identified with this as a key criterion. The products acquired through Premium Administration OU fit well into this overall strategy, and will help bring the tools and expertise of Better Collective’s existing portfolio to a new user base.
