Company history
Leo Vegas AB was formed in 2011 by Gustaf Hagman and Robin Ramm Ericson. The gambling site was launched the following year. Back then, it only contained animated casino games. The live-dealer casino and the section for sports betting were added later.
Leo Vegas online casino made a splash on the gambling market in 2012 because it was so easy to use on mobile devices, while also working perfectly on computers. This was an era when a lot of older online casinos were struggling to adapt to a market where potential gamblers spent more and more time on their smartphones and less in front of their stationary computer.
Leo Vegas appealed to the mobile players and grew quickly. In 2015, the number of depositing customers exceeded 200,000.
During the latter half of the 2010s, Leo Vegas made several acquisitions to increase their presence on the European market. They bought Royal Panda, Winga s.r.l. and what we today know as Rocket X, and they also acquired 51% of GameGrounds United and 51% of Pixel Holding Group Ltd.
