The European gambling sector recorded notable growth in 2024, expanding by 4.8% worldwide, largely fueled by online casinos and sports betting. Italy ranked fifth among European countries for gambling revenue, highlighting the strength of its online casino market and lottery segments, even with a limited number of land-based casinos.

The UK maintained its lead in the European gambling landscape, achieving a score of 9.71 out of 10. Its revenue breakdown included over $14.7 billion from casinos and casino games, $6.8 billion from lotteries and nearly $6 billion from sports betting. The UK also hosts 144 physical casinos, second only to France.

Germany secured second place with a score of 9.37, generating more than $22 billion in revenue. Its income came from $13.2 billion in casino operations, $5.7 billion from lotteries and bingo, and $3.1 billion from sports betting. France followed in third, with a score of 9.19, driven by its 205 casinos – the highest number across Europe – and a total revenue exceeding $14.8 billion in 2024, including $8.3 billion from casinos. Spain ranked fourth with a score of 8.60, generating close to $9 billion through $5.6 billion from casinos, $2.2 billion from lotteries and $1.1 billion from sports betting.

Italy came in fifth with a score of 8.40, reporting a gambling turnover surpassing $13 billion. This total was composed of $8.3 billion from casinos, $3 billion from lotteries and $1.8 billion from sports betting. Despite these figures, Italy operates only six physical casinos, underscoring the dominant role of online platforms and lottery revenues in its market performance.

In 2025, Italy’s Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM) completed its latest tender process for remote gambling concessions, granting 46 new online gambling licenses. Notable approvals went to major operators like Betfair, Snaitech, Sisal, 888 Italia, Bet365, LeoVegas and William Hill. Other successful applicants included Betsson, Admiral Sport, Winamax, Marathonbet and Eurobet Italia.

From $12 to $54,719: The Story of a Big Win at Betandyou!

Published

on

There are thousands of bets placed on Betandyou every single day. Some place small bets, some go big, and sometimes someone hits a win that stands out from everything else.

That’s exactly what happened this November – one of our players placed just $12 and hit a life-changing $54,719 payout!

What Happened Before the Big Win

It all started like any ordinary bet. Football filled the screens – Manchester, Barcelona, Milan, Porto.

The player with ID 6301********, a part of our community since June 2023, opened the Betandyou app and placed his usual pick. No big stake. No drama. Just a regular moment of excitement for the game.

The Four Predictions That Changed Everything

A $12 accumulator and four football matches. Most impressively, exact score predictions – something you don’t see every day and a true sign of confidence. And here’s how the night unfolded:

  • Manchester City – Bournemouth: 3–1
  • Barcelona – Elche: 3–1
  • Milan – Roma: 1–0
  • Porto – Braga: 2–1

One by one, the results started to fall into place. The first two games, perfect 3:1 calls. Then Milan held Roma to 1:0. And finally, Porto sealed it with a 2:1 win. Four matches. Four exact scores.

4560 Odds: A Moment You Can’t Predict

  • Total odds? 4560.
  • The payout? That’s $54,719!

When the final whistle blew, the numbers on the screen told a story we don’t see every day, the kind of win that makes your heart skip a beat and your hands tremble just a little before hitting “Check balance.” That’s the kind of moment every bettor dreams about, when the impossible suddenly becomes reality.

CEO Betandyou: Official Comment

“Wins like this always draw attention,” says the CEO of Betandyou. “But what excites us even more is the story behind it. Our players don’t just bet, they feel the game. They analyze, they take risks, they follow their passion. This win isn’t just luck; it’s the perfect mix of intuition, strategy, and a love for football. At Betandyou, we live for moments like these, because every big win starts with a small belief.”

More Than Just Numbers

This player has been with us for more than a year, and this time their loyalty, patience, and boldness paid off in the best possible way. It’s not really about the amount – it’s about that feeling when your choices turn into something real. When your screen lights up and you realize that yes, you just did that.

At Betandyou, that magic happens every day, sometimes quietly, sometimes spectacularly. But one thing is certain: there’s always another story waiting to be written.

So who knows? Maybe the next headline will be yours.
Stay in the game with Betandyou!
