In their own words

About the company & team

Visca Web is a digital media company whose portfolio of products consists in 2 inter-related families of products:

  •  A Live Scores product, which delivers real-time football results and social interaction to millions of users around the world. Popular brands in our portfolio include websites such as Futebol.com and Marcadores.com (together with their iOS and Android apps).
  • A Sports Betting portal product, which helps bettors to improve their knowledge of bookmakers and offers them advice and exclusive predictions. The main websites in our portfolio are ParisSportifs.com and CanadaSportsBetting.ca

Using a football analogy, we are more in line with the team ethics of Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid than that of Florentino Perez's Real Madrid. In a few words: No Galacticos here, the Star is the Team.

That team is a mix of youth and experience. It is diverse (7 different nationalities at the moment) and its members are hungry to learn, grow and share. 

We champion a stimulating environment where autonomy, ownership, initiative and exchange are valued and encouraged.

Working hard and having fun in the process: this is how we want to live our adventure together.
