A success story takes its course

Only two months later, the launch of the live score service livescore.cc marks the first innovation of the website. With the relaunch of the website in November 2005, the online casino is introduced.
The following year, the product range is expanded when the poker platform is implemented. The rapid development of the online market requires keeping pace with continuous upgrades and expansions. That's why the online specialist in 2008 launches the new online casino, followed by the new product line "Games" in June 2009.
Since September of the same year, various sports and live bets are offered. After the successful relaunch (2013) of the online sports betting portal, products also become available for customers in the mobile version. In 2015 bet-at-home.com

In November 2017, the product group "Games" was replaced by "Vegas" and the Vegas app was introduced. In time for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the sports app was introduced in June 2018. The range of products was expanded again in September 2018 with the launch of the eSports channel.
