Lottomatica remains dominant in Italian June rankings

Lottomatica posted GGR of €16m (£13.9m) from its sports betting arm, corresponding to a market share of 18%.

Entain’s bwin brand finished the month in eighth place with GGR amounting to €2m, while Flutter’s other brands in the Italian market, in the shape of PokerStars and Betfair, ended up in 14th and 17th place, respectively.
Basing sports betting market share on turnover, bet365 continued to lead the competition.
Based on turnover of €198.1m for the Stoke-on-Trent-based operator market share amounted to 24.6%.
In terms of online casino, Lottomatica’s Goldbet brand was the dominant operator in the vertical with a market share of 14.9% based on GGR of €26.2m.
While in sports betting Betflag finished in 15th place, it jumped up to sixth in online casino with a GGR of €11m and a corresponding market share of 6.3%.
