TonyBet was created in 2009 by Antanas Gouga or Tony G., a world-renowned poker pro, politician, and businessman. Their website is authorised in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Lithuania, and Estonia at the moment. This allowed the provision of the website’s services to the enormous European market. It is one of the fastest growing online gaming and betting websites globally and comprises more than 150 employees.

In Lithuania, the TonyBet’s businesses were assimilated by Betsson, a Swedish company, on September 8, 2016, for €6 million. In 2010, they became the sponsor for Lithuania men’s national basketball team, and later, TonyBet ended up becoming the team’s main sponsors in 2013.

TonyBet is also one of the prominent sponsors for the Juta Racing team of Porsche Carrera Cup GB. The company and the Juta Racing group signed a deal before Juta’s debut in 2015.

TonyBet manages to juggle sportsbook and casino at the same time with impressive professionalism. Their experience has allowed them to build a profound reputation with the casino and online betting industries.

The launch of the Open-face Chinese poker app was another milestone achieved by TonyBet in December 2013. Their application offers cash games, sit and go, and multi-table tournaments played with multiple game variations. The variations include Turbo, Pineapple, Progressive Fantasy and, 2-7 Pineapple.

In December 2014 TonyBet organized the first live open-face Chinese poker world tournament, which was a part of the Prague Poker Festival. The €1,000 buy-in main event drew a world-record-breaking 132 players, making it the most competitive live open-face Chinese poker tournament at the time.

In addition to this, Mikal Blomile, a Norwegian poker pro, emerged as the first open-face Chinese poker world championship winner, and Jennifer Shahade, the US chess ace, triumphed the €10,000 buy-in high roller event.
