Story
The first betting point of the Russian bookmaker Fonbet was opened in the summer of 1994 in Moscow. The company first began accepting bets on the Internet in 2001 on a website in the domain zone.com, but after the ban on sports betting on the Internet in Russia in 2007, this site was sold to foreign investors.
In 1999, the Fonbet affiliate program was launched. In 2004, the bookmaker was one of the first to offer bets during sporting events – live. By 2011, the number of bookmaker betting points exceeded 1 thousand throughout Russia, with explosive growth occurring in the period after the relicensing of bookmakers in 2009. In 2014, so-called betting machines appeared in the company's clubs - terminals that allow the client to access a personal account and place bets without contacting a cashier and the attendant queues. In the operation of betting machines, BC Fonbet uses its own technology - FONAPS.
This company has been a member of the self-regulatory organization “Association of Bookmakers” since February 2016. Temporarily was a member of the First SRO.
Fonbet BC began accepting bets on the Internet again in November 2016, and announced the full launch of the interactive bookmaker in February 2017.
Nowadays
The Russian bookmaker Fonbet accepts sports bets through its website in the domain zone.ru and at land-based betting points, the number of which at the beginning of 2017 exceeded 1 thousand in cities in 75 regions of Russia - this is the largest bookmaker network in the country. This bookmaker also accepts bets in other CIS countries.
LLC "F.O.N." (legal name) is registered in Moscow at the address: 127562, Dekabristov Street, 8.
Attention: the Russian bookmaker Fonbet today has no formal relationship with the online bookmaker Fonbet with a website in zone.com.
