Tipsport is the largest betting agency in the Czech Republic.[1] The company was founded in 1991 in Beroun by a group of local businessmen led by Vratislav Randa, who is still the chairman of the board. [2] The first branch was opened in May 1991. As of now, the company has almost 700 branches across the Czech Republic. [3] A real milestone for Tipsport was the license for internet betting in 2009. After more than 12 years, internet betting makes a 95% of all bets accepted by the company.
