BetConstruct (renamed Stretch since 2022), the young and only poker network founded in the former Soviet Union, is not only successfully breaking into the international market today, but is also ranked in the top 20 in the world based on headcount. player. How and why it happened, you will learn from this article.
History of the Network
In its modern form, the network is relatively recent. However, the company BetConstruct was founded in 2003 by a group of businessmen and gaming site software developers from Armenia.
The modern BetConstruct network is the result of two events:
- The creation of an integrated platform for gaming companies. Turnkey products are immediately available to any gambling operator.
- Transition of the most famous Armenian bookmaker Vbet to this platform. By then, it had long left the country’s borders and had been operating across Europe for more than a decade.
Vbet, a poker room owned by Vbet, has been operating since 2014 and was initially unsuccessful in the market, mainly due to outdated software.
Vbet Poker becomes the first BetConstruct web room in 2017.
Skinning and rebranding.
Since then, the composition of the web has changed a lot, with some skins added and others closed. Now, besides Vbet, there are other representatives:
- Grompoker – Ukrainian region, the only place that accepts Russian and Belarusian players.
- The Crocobet is a room located in Georgia.
In late October 2022, BetConstruct Network will rebrand to Stretch.
The main reason for the rebranding was management’s desire to more clearly demarcate the different areas of activity.
Transportation
What game products and activities does Stretch Network welcome players to provide? The poker formats and games played are as follows:
- 6-max Hold’em – These tables get the most traffic. Limits for most tables (up to 30) are NL2-€5. Upstairs (often including up to 100 NL) there are as many as 10 other tables active in the evening.
- Sonic Poker is a local version of Fast Poker. Games are played in 5 max formats up to 100 NL. A rake race is held exclusively for these tables with a weekly prize of €13,000.
