Mateusz and Tomasz Juroszek have increased their Gentoo Media holding to about 56.49% by acquiring 91,928,663 additional shares, according to the report.
The family had been involved with the business since its days as Gaming Innovation Group (GiG). In 2023, they raised their GiG stake to 11.08%, becoming its biggest individual investors. They supported GiG when it split into separate businesses in 2024. Gentoo Media emerged after GiG divested its affiliate and media business. BetPlay Capital has been a principal financial backer of Gentoo since its foundation.
Entain bought the Juroszek family's 70% holding in STS in 2023. Mateusz Juroszek later took a seat on the Entain CEE board. Earlier this year, Entain announced plans to wind down Entain CEE and sell its joint-venture stakes to EMMA Capital.
