German betting firm Fluxx has placed an offer to purchase Sportwetten.de for €1.09 a share. A statement from Sportwetten.de said the offer was valid until December 21, adding that it would make a recommendation on the offer in due course.

Malta-based licence holder Sportwetten.de shut its betting services in October citing a lack of legal security in a number of countries because of 'contradictory court rulings'.
