The Austrian bookmaker plans to add the virtual sports games to its Italian website and mobile platforms later this year.

Daniel Grabher, CEO of Global Bet, said of the deal: “Planetwin365 has been one of our key partners for a long time and this expansion into land-based Italian operations is an exciting opportunity for all of us.

“This partnership is a further step in our strategy to offer premium virtual sports products to Italy’s regulated operators.”

Thomas Smallwood, planetwin365 CEO, added: “Italy is the market for virtual sports in Europe, so knowing about the significance and strong competition it was even more important for us to choose the right provider for this expansion.

“Having worked with Global Bet for a number of years, their innovation and passion to develop games allows us to be highly confident that this partnership will be a great success.”
