Maxim Kiryukhin was born in Stavropol on August 27th, 1971. He obtained two degrees in Engineer-Economics and Accounting. In the early 1990s, he sold and published books. “My partner and I successfully made the collection of household tips with the help of libraries,” Kiryukhin recalls. “It was my friends’ advice to invest money in betting.” Since 2013 Kiryukhin has been the chairman of board of directors in Fonbet.
While we still lack clarity on what the future might look like, as we enter 2021 the dust is beginning to settle. Now, the industry can take stock of the changes that have been made and will continue to be made.
Following our conversation with Alexey Khobot earlier this year, we caught up with Fonbet’s chairman of the board, maxim kiryukhin, to find out how the company tackled the challenges faced due to the closure of betting shops and the changes that happened prior to their reopening.
Kiryukhin explains that, while about 70% of bets made by Fonbet customers are made online, the pandemic impacted the business on two fronts familiar to any sportsbook operating at the time – the cancellation of sports events and the closure of betting shops.
