Ladbrokes receives online license in Italy
Dec 28, 2009
Ladbrokes has been operating their sportsbooks for decades and have offered the citizens of the United Kingdom the possibility to bet on sports. In the early stages of 2000 Ladbrokes decided to put a lot of effort in t their online business as well and developed a fully operational gambling portal that offers casino, poker and bingo games apart from the core business the sportsbook. Ladbrokes has reached to a whole new market with the new gambling portal and now Ladbrokes has received an online gambling license for the gambling portal and that just in time when they are about to launch big in that specific market.
Italy has been one of the countries in Europe that has been very hard for online betting sites to come in to and operate their games. The Italian government has been very strict on who they grant online gambling licenses to and the Italian government bocks gambling sites on their IP address. Ladbrokes has been luck y to have shown the Italian government that their business is serious and can offer a good service to the Italian population. The new license granted to Ladbrokes allows the Italian citizens to take part in poker tournaments online at the Ladbrokes poker website where they also can enjoy cash games bingo and casino.
Ladbrokes decided to close a lot of their betting shops that the owned all over Italy earlier this year since the gambling company has decided to focus their strength on the online betting portal instead of the local bookmakers. Ladbrokes will offer sports betting, poker, bingo and casino games to the Italian citizens through the Ladbrokes gambling site.
