Winamax , French gambling operator has completed the acquisition of the existing Italy-facing license of iGaming brand bet-at-home, a majority stake in which is held by another French gambling company – Betclic Everest Group.
The purchase will make it possible for Winamax to enter the Italian iGaming market more quickly than if it had applied for a license from the local gambling regulators.
With the recent purchase of bet-at-home’s Italian license, Winamax has once again indicated that it wants to participate in the shared online poker liquidity project, which was sealed this past July in Rome.
In order to be able to take part in the scheme, Winamax needs to obtain licenses from the countries it wants to provide its services in.
It is still unknown when exactly the new poker network that will merge the player pools of France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal will be launched. Hopes were that this would happen before the end of the year.
