OlyBet, the premier online gaming and sports betting company in the Baltic region, will sponsor Lithuanian basketball club Zalgiris Kaunas, one of the foremost basketball clubs in Europe, for the fourth straight year. The team reached the EuroLeague Final Four last season.
According to Veiko Krünberg, Managing Director of OlyBet, the company knows the importance of basketball in Lithuania, where Olybet started the operations in 2015. He said the company was interested in the general sponsor position of Lithuania’s top club Zalgiris from the very start.
