Italians bet €3.9 billion in 2008

13 Jan

Italians bet €3.9 billion in 2008 marking an increase of more than 50% over the previous year, reports which appeared today on Italian news agency ANSA suggest.

The same report says that online football betting represents 27% of the total sum played.

Malta has a booming igaming sector with more companies choosing to set up shop here.

The growth of this sector in a market like Italy may translate itself to financial benefits for betting companies registered in Malta, should they be capable of attracting customers towards them.

Betting companies registered in Malta yield registration and taxation payments to the Maltese government, which is vociferously opposing EU regulation of igaming together with the UK.
