With a lottery win of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of euros, the doors are wide open for the purchase of many beautiful things.

Tipbet is one of the oldest online sports betting providers in the world. It has been active in many European countries for more than 20 years. Currently, however, the bookie's business seems to be largely flat. The MGA has withdrawn its licence - and the website cannot be accessed.

At 30.5 percent, our neighbours' tax rates are already quite high by European standards.

The betting provider Neo.bet is quite active when it comes to sponsorship and promotion. Most of the promotions clearly relate to the game of football. However, the bookmaker is now expanding its portfolio to include a sport that has experienced a strong boom in recent years.
