Madsen backed Holledig’s positive comments: “After 12 good years as CEO at Danske Spil, I am now looking forward to contributing with my betting and consumer experience to the further development of Fibetco and BetOnFinance. I am certain, that this combination of betting and financial markets holds the potential for a massive international expansion – a journey I want to be part of.”
