You can even watch several live broadcasts at the same time via the ifortuna.cz website. Fortuna also has a forum where bettors can discuss their tickets and bets. The design of the resource is in black and yellow colours. It may be a bit dark for some customers but it’s very convenient and easy to navigate. Unless you prefer light colours, this website will definitely serve you well.

Services and live
The betting office Fortuna offers bets on lesser-known football leagues such as SBR (bet without a draw), second chance resp. double chance, 1st half, number of goals, European handicap, who will score the 1st goal, or exact result or half/match.

For breakdown bets, you can place bets on Fortuna for less than 10 CZK (from 0.01 CZK). Fortuna also provides group tickets, which Fortuna internally calls MAXIKOMBI bets. These are breakdown (system) bets, where you create groups, which you then combine with each other. One group contains two or more events.

Bet Second chance or double chance is a unique bet that you will only find on Fortuna. It is a combination of a bet on the 1st half and the total result.
In addition to sports betting, there is also Fortuna Vegas Casino, where you can play a variety of games such as online roulette, slot machines, blackjack or dice.
Live line
On the Fortuna website, you will find a large number of live bets, whether on football, hockey, basketball, volleyball or handball. In Fortuna, there are more live bets on the Czech football/hockey league than in the other bookmakers.
Fortuna used to work with the flash version of live betting for a long time, but at the end of 2018, it launched a new version of live betting in HTML. With the new version came various improvements such as better odds display, an expanded overview of opportunities in the main overview or watching two or more live streams at once. In addition, there are ticket functions that allow you to share, advertise or insert a ticket into the chat.
When betting live, you can use the Speed Bet function, but you must activate it. This function allows you to place a live bet after clicking on the odds (you will determine the bet values in advance in the account settings).
The bookie does offer live streaming as well. In the live betting section, you will find live broadcasts on tennis, football, basketball, volleyball, KHL or NBA on Fortuna TV. The new version of live betting allows you to watch two or more live streams at once, but in order to watch these sports broadcasts, you must have money in the player’s account (minimum balance is enough). You should also have a placed bet from the previous week of any amount. In 2021, Fortuna expanded its live broadcasts to almost 400,000 live streams per year, including matches from UFC tournaments, NASCAR and the Ice Hockey World Championships.
