Stake Launches in Italy Under the Idealbet Brand
Stake has made an important move in its global expansion by entering the Italian market under the Idealbet brand. To achieve this, it acquired the Italian online gambling operator Baldo Line SRL, which operates the popular Idealbet brand, previously owned by the Octavian Group. Following the completion of the deal, Stake obtained a license to operate in Italy and will pay a €7 million fee for the right to conduct online gambling in the country.
Expansion in Italy
Stake has ambitious plans for the Italian market and aims to become a leading player in the online gambling sector by 2025. To achieve this, Stake will focus on improving the functionality of Idealbet, integrating its own platform and offering exclusive games. This will significantly enhance the quality of service and attract both new and existing players.
Strategy in the Italian Market
Stake views Italy as a key element of its global expansion strategy. With its launch in the market, the company aims to win the trust of players by providing them with a high level of service and exclusive content. Stake plans to expand its team in Rome by opening a local office, which will allow it to better understand the needs of Italian users and improve local support.
In addition, from 2025, a new licensing system will be in place in Italy, under which ADM, the Italian Customs and Monopolies Agency, will charge operators a fee for the right to operate in the country. This step is part of the updated policy aimed at improving the regulation of online casinos and sports betting in Italy.
Benefits and Challenges in the New Market
Italy is an important market for online gambling in Europe, and Stake will face tough competition. Despite the challenges associated with the advertising ban and the need to operate within strict regulations, Stake is confident in its success due to the combination of the strong Idealbet brand and its own platform, which will ensure players a high-quality and secure experience.
