Newgioco Group, a global sports betting and interactive gaming technology company providing fully integrated, omnichannel sports betting software solutions, is now offering esports wagering through its online betting channel in Italy.
Clients of its online operators through Multigioco in Italy are now able to wager on the outcome of the esports competitions of League of Legends, DOTA, Starcraft, as well as esports versions of NBA Basketball, Formula One and MotoGP.
Wagering on esports is intended to fill the gap left by the suspension of live sports and the limited availability of niche sports events and is available now on all online channels, including PC, tablet and mobile.
“We are absolutely committed to keeping our full team employed during the global pandemic and with the challenges currently facing our normal markets," stated chairman and CEO Michele Ciavarella. "The first result of our whole team approach is the launch of esports in the online channel in Italy within one week of regulatory approval.”
