SportPesa have entered into an agreement with gaming solutions provider, Microgame, to support its expansion into the Italian market.

Earlier this year, SportPesa acquired a majority shareholding in RCS Gaming and now it will team up with Microgame to deliver an online sportsbook and casino, as well as online Poker, Virtual Games, Table Games and Bingo products.

Marco Castaldo, Microgame Chief Executive, commented: “We are extremely proud to have been chosen outsourcing partner by a successful international group such as SportPesa for its launch in Italy.We are confident about the great potential of this project and will deploy all the resources necessary to ensure its success.”

The Italian-facing products will then be enhanced with SportPesa's proprietary games, with Microgame's technical staff working alongside SportPesa's Development team to handle the integration.

SportPesa Italy Country Manager, Luca Magnano added: “We’re delighted to be teaming up with Microgame to create a best-in-class gaming experience for the Italian market; we have quickly developed a strong understanding and working relationship with our new partners and we believe that together we will soon be recognised as industry leaders in Italy.”
