Flagship brand of Kindred Group, acquired in 2024 by FDJ UNITED (formerly La Française des Jeux, the French national lottery operator) for about €2.45 billion. Kindred had been listed in Stockholm before the takeover.
Anders Ström started Unibet from a bedroom in 1997. It became the core of Kindred Group (formerly Unibet Group), with licences across Europe and brands including 32Red and Maria Casino. The FDJ deal in 2024 put Unibet inside a state-rooted, publicly listed European gambling group.
