BETON’s support for sports covers professional clubs, regional teams, and competitions across various disciplines. The company also engages in initiatives to protect the integrity of sporting competitions and implements responsible gaming tools. Roman Balashov, CEO and owner of LLC "SITIKOD," which operates under the BETON brand, discusses how these directions come together at the licensed Ukrainian operator in an article for Liga.net.
The brand’s sports partnerships span different levels and disciplines. Alongside a title sponsorship with FC Shakhtar, which began in May 2026 when the club held the status of Ukrainian champion, BETON supports regional clubs FC Alliance and FC Chernihiv and has a partnership with the Ukrainian Mini-Football Federation. Beyond football, partners include the UA Steel League, RTR Time Attack, and the esports club Inner Circle.
"A kid today on a neighborhood field is tomorrow’s player for a top club, and the day after tomorrow — the coach who raises the next generation," he notes.
Support for sports is inseparable from upholding fair play
A fixed match devalues the game for everyone involved. That is why BETON cooperates with the National Platform for Sports Integrity and passes observations about atypical activity around matches to its specialists.
The bookmaker monitors changes in activity around games, so it can spot unusual indicators earlier than others. BETON’s sports analyst shared this experience in a training session for federation integrity specialists, showing what anomalous activity around a match looks like. Such cooperation is intended to make attempts to influence competition results more difficult and increase the risks for those who engage in it.
The company’s principle of fair play also extends to its interaction with players. BETON enforces limits, self-exclusion, gameplay breaks, a test for risky behavior, cool-off mechanics, multi-level anti-fraud solutions, and user verification. The decision about how much money and time to devote to gaming remains with the player.
