Game development studio Evoplay has continued with its rapid growth trajectory as it prepares to go live in Italy, allowing the popular studio to further enhance its foothold in Europe.

Evoplay’s imminent market entry follows regulatory approval from Italy’s regulator, Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM), after satisfying the requirements set out by the independent gaming certification lab, BMM Testlabs.

So far 62 games from the studio’s popular portfolio have been certified, with Italian players now ready to enjoy 52 highly immersive video slots and 10 entertainment-first instant games.

Italian operators will now gain access to some of Evoplay’s highest-performing European titles, including the studio’s Fruit Super Nova 100, Cycle of Luck, Gold of Sirens, Ellen’s Fortune and Temple of Dead.

With Italy being one of the industry’s most prominent markets, the access to the market will allow Evoplay to follow on from a successful 2021, which saw the company sign notable deals, win awards and deliver high quality content to partners across the globe.

Commenting on Evoplay’s Italy debut, Vladimir Malakchi, CCO at Evoplay, said: “In the last few years, we’ve grown at an exponential rate, becoming one of Europe’s fastest growing studios in the process. With this in mind, it’s fantastic to see more than sixty of our titles gaining certification in such a vibrant market like Italy.

“Italy remains an essential target market for us, with the jurisdiction reporting impressive growth in recent times, as online casino revenue hit a record high in March this year. We hope the certification will allow us to not only expand in Italy, but to establish ourselves across Europe as one of the continent’s leading studios.”

Wisconsin DOJ Sues to Stop Alleged Illegal Sports Betting Operations in Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced that it is suing Kalshi, Robinhood, Coinbase, Polymarket, Crypto.com, and their affiliates, to halt their alleged facilitation of illegal sports betting, a form of unlawful commercial gambling, in Wisconsin.

“Thinly disguising unlawful conduct doesn’t make it lawful. These companies’ alleged facilitation of sports betting in Wisconsin should be shut down,” said AG Kaul.

Except in limited circumstances, sports betting and other forms of commercial gambling have long been illegal in Wisconsin. Yet, as alleged in these lawsuits, the defendant companies have chosen to flout Wisconsin law through disguising the sports betting they facilitate on their online platforms as “event contracts,” which pay out just like ordinary bets based on the odds of sports-related outcomes.

The complaints further allege that the companies collect a fee for every bet made, meaning they generate revenue from Wisconsinites by violating the state’s gambling laws. Kalshi, as one example, reportedly generates more than $1 billion in annual revenue from its sports contracts, representing around 90% of its total estimated annualized revenue.

As the complaints allege, by making money from the sports bets they facilitate, these companies are engaging in unlawful gambling activity.

Wisconsin DOJ’s lawsuits, filed on last Thursday in Dane County, request a declaration that, by making sports-related event contracts available for trading by customers located in Wisconsin, the defendant companies are violating Wis. Stat.§945.03(1m) and thereby creating a public nuisance. The lawsuits additionally request preliminary and permanent injunctions enjoining and restraining the defendant companies from making sports-related event contracts available for trading by customers located in Wisconsin.

As Amusnet’s first partner in the region, we are excited to introduce such an extensive selection of approved titles to our audience,” said Enrico Menghini, CEO at 747Live.

The initial integration with 747Live allows local players to experience Amusnet’s world-renowned gaming mechanics, immersive graphics and signature jackpot features. To celebrate this market entry, Amusnet is highlighting a selection of top-performing titles, such as the dynamic 100 Golden Coins: Reel Fishing, the fan-favourite Extra Crown and the high-energy 100 Golden Coins.

This expansion into the Philippines marks a new chapter for Amusnet.
