From easyJet to easyBet: billionaire airline founder makes move into online gambling
The Guardian
|October 26, 2024
Stelios Haji-Ioannou has stamped the "easy" brand on everything from aeroplanes to pizza joints, with varying degrees of success.
Now the billionaire entrepreneur is taking a punt on online sports betting through a partnership with an offshore gambling firm that is on the comeback trail after having its licence suspended in 2020.
EasyBet is a joint venture with Matchbook, a trading name of Triplebet, which is based on the Channel island of Alderney.
Triplebet is owned by Zeljko Ranogajec, an Australian-born multi-millionaire who has been described as the world's most successful gambler and has the nicknames, "Loch Ness monster", because he is rarely spotted, and "The Joker".
The Gambling Commission suspended Triplebet's gambling licence for six months in 2020 and fined the company £740,000, citing failings on player protection and anti-money-laundering controls. Its compliance systems have since been overhauled.
