Mor Weizer, chief executive officer of Playtech, said: “We are very pleased to have reached this agreement with Sisal. The group’s technology and its strategy of focusing on newly regulated markets, such as Italy, have enabled Playtech to sign these licensee agreements with these leading Italian operators.

“It is clear that the Italian poker network is gaining an even more prominent position in the market with the group becoming a significant player.”
