The Italian iGaming market has become an increasingly attractive destination for operators and providers looking to expand. This can be attributed to the rare combination of stability and innovation the market provides. The Italian online casino sector has been particularly appealing to operators and providers with a surge of new players flocking to online slots and casino games. This shows in the numbers with the online casino sector in Italy surpassing €200 million in revenue in December 2022 alone. In recent months, several high-profile businesses have expanded their presence in the Italian market through strategic partnerships. Amusnet has partnered with ScommesseItalia, Pragmatic Play with Betpoint, CT Interactive with Winka, and most recently 3 Oaks Gaming has entered Italy for the first time with Tuko Productions. In Q4 2022, Flutter Entertainment, Snaitech, and Betsson also made significant inroads into the market, underscoring the growing interest among local and international operators.
The Italian iGaming market may be flourishing, but success is not guaranteed for those seeking to enter. Many recent entrants have stumbled due to ineffective localization, choosing the wrong local partnerships, products, compliance measures, payment providers, and marketing tactics. To
succeed due diligence, and strong local partnerships are essential in this dynamic market.
The upcoming Online Casino Summit Italia 2023, scheduled for 4 – 5 May in Rome, presents an unparalleled opportunity to network with key
decision-makers in the Italian iGaming industry. Set against the backdrop of the luxurious Rome Marriott Grand Hotel Flora, the event will unite renowned regulatory experts from both the Italian and European iGaming markets, including Giulio Coraggio, Valérie Peano, Stefano Sbordoni, and Terence Casser. The summit will also feature industry leaders in responsible gaming and player protection, such as Entain’s Sophie Platts and Kindred Group’s Tom Banks. In terms of payments and digital assets, Dustin Plantholt, Daniele Tagliarini, Laura D’Angeli, and Fabrizio Bergamaschi will be sharing their insights.
Attending the Online Casino Summit Italia 2023 will expose attendees to a wealth of networking opportunities. These opportunities can be realised during scheduled networking events and on the exhibition floor showcasing the latest technologies, products, and services in the iGaming industry. The exhibition space will give attendees a unique opportunity to explore new business prospects and establish valuable partnerships.
