Salary benchmarks
Our take
Livescore Group is a union of sports streaming, digital media, and online betting companies that includes Livescore (founded in 1997), Livescore Bet, and Virgin Bet. With streaming services predicted to spend over $10B on sports rights in 2024 alone, the Livescore Group is located in the heart of a lucrative industry, and that’s before the gambling side of their group is even considered.
Livescore Group makes considerable revenue from selling its advertising space, and with streaming becoming an increasingly popular way to engage with sports, it’s unsurprising that in 2022 the company received large sums of venture capital.
Livescore Group is using this funding to accelerate growth in Central and Eastern Europe, further bolstering its 35 million worldwide active monthly users.

And we believe that championing sport, the values it upholds, and its positive impact on fans' lives helps us connect with and earn their trust.
- EVER-CURIOUS 📚 Our curiosity encourages us to always question if we can do better. We're not afraid to approach tasks differently, to look for smarter ways to work, and try new things. We never settle, we refuse to accept the status quo, and continually look for opportunities to learn, improve and optimise.
- FAN DRIVEN 🎉 Fans are at the heart of everything we do. We want to fuel their passion and enjoyment for sport. Which means always listening to and understanding what they want. A user-centric approach is fundamental to every decision we make and the service we offer.
- RESPONSIBLE ✅ Beyond the conventional definition, we embrace responsibility as a guiding principle in every single decision we make. We recognise our profound responsibility to our customers, particularly with regards to Responsible Gambling. It’s more than compliance; it's about going above and beyond to ensure our customers have a safe space to play. A focus on building a sustainable, conscientious and ethical business. And contributing to the greater good in the communities and industries we operate.
- TEAM PLAYERS 🤝 Win or lose, we're all in this together. We all work to build a company where everyone feels included, respected and trusted to do their best work. We believe that collaboration, communication and accountability are crucial. Everyone's opinions matter and we actively encourage differing views and healthy debate.
