also thanks to the fact that we preferred to make everything ourselves.


Progress kept on building up little by little. Soon we’d grown our offering to a scale that could compete on the international level. That is how BetConstruct was founded. Now we have over 300 partners all over the world who use our solutions.

VB: BetConstruct’s global supply business has its roots in bookmaking. Our first steps in igaming – with a bookmaking company called Vivaro – date back to 2003 when myself and Vahe Badalyan started Vivaro: a company with four people in a small office in Yerevan.

One should investigate regulations in the region, the player base, the existing competition of operators within the state and, first and foremost, the future operator’s requirements.


Because we started as a B2C provider we have a great business sense – already an intuitive knowledge of which tools or solutions to offer to our partner operators to help them thrive. Needless to say, such knowledge came after years of being nose-deep into igaming. Having once had a desire to stand out in the B2C market, now BetConstruct – a software provider for igaming – removes barriers for its partners who seek uniqueness, simultaneously saving time and resources, both ours and our partners.
