Betclic is a French online gambling company founded by Eric Moncada and Nicolas Béraud in 2005 that offers sports betting, online casino, and online poker. The business is divided into two divisions: France and International. French operations are headquartered in Bordeaux, while their International business operates from Malta.
Betclic was created in London by Eric Moncada and Nicolas Béraud in 2005 with a single employee and an investment of 3 million euros.[3] In 2008 Mangas Gaming bought a 75% share of Betclic from its owner for 50 million euros, with SBM buying a 50% share in the company the following year in 2009.[3] In 2010 it was announced that Betclic held 35–40% of the market share in France, being the largest betting company in the country,[4] holding 36% of the market in 2013.[5] During Euro 2012, Betclic saw 2 million bets being placed over the sporting competition, seeing a profit made over that time of 12 million euros.[6] On 31 May 2016, Betclic merged with online poker company, Everest Poker.[7] In October 2016, they moved their London and Paris offices to Bordeaux.[8] In September 2018, Betclic acquired a licence to operate in Poland.[9]
In 2019, the Betclic Group withdrew from the UK online gambling market due to "low performance".[10]
