In 2005, the company launched its first online portal, SamvoBetBroker.com, a sports betting brokerage for both clients and professional betting syndicates.[3] In 2006, Samvo Group began development of quantitative models and automated trading, which was developed in 2008, followed by the launch of a semi-automated trading platform in 2009.[4] The automated trading system combined Samvo Group's brokerage, bookmaking and program trading operations into one exchange.
