Intralot CEO Antonios Kerastaris said: “Since acquiring a betting operator license in Italy in 2007 and at a later stage VLT and AWP licenses, Intralot has established a strong presence in one of the largest and most competitive gaming markets in the world. We are thrilled about the great prospects of a partnership with Gamenet that will enhance our product offering and presence in the country, in line with our strategy to seek synergies with strong local partners in promising gaming markets around the Globe.”

Gamenet CEO, Guglielmo Angelozzi, added: “This is a strategic step for us, as we were seeking size and diversification to complement our vertical integration programmes. We look forward to capture all the synergies from this combination and seize all the opportunities available in the market in the next years, also leveraging on the partnership with a global betting provider as the Intralot Group.”
