Taking the game to the next level: SKS365 presents Planetwin365’s flagship store in Rome
The B2B event took place yesterday in the company’s new betting&gaming hall in Rome: personalisation, digitalisation and entertainment are the pillars of the new concept “IN THE GAME”
Flexibility, customization and digitalization in the name of entertainment are the three key pillars that led the building of the new Planetwin365’s flagship store in Rome, the betting and gaming brand owned by SKS365 group. On Wednesday the 17th of May, a B2B event dedicated to the industry was held in a historic location for the city entertainment. Right here, in fact, stood the Extraball arcade, a cult location in the 1990s. A landmark from which SKS365 started a complete restyling, resulting in over 300 square meters of a brand-new store that provides a complete and cutting-edge offer of entertainment, following the innovative “IN THE GAME” concept.
Technological innovation, automation and security distinguish the hardware inside the shore: 12 channels are dedicated to horse racing, including 4 for live racing and 8 for odds display. This extra-large format will allow analysts’ real-time updates to be shown during the whole horse races. Another highlight is a 136-inch HD video wall, consisting of 6 mosaic screens and the possibility of placing sports bets and playing Virtual Sports in full autonomy thanks to the Betting Terminals positioned near the video wall. Located in the gaming machine room there is a suite of slots and videolotteries. Finally, special attention is paid to automation: in addition to the classic counters, there are also two new generation automatic cash machines from the supplier Cashlogic for money management, to ensure greater security and efficiency.
All this falls under a concept- ‘IN THE GAME’ – that puts the player at the center of the entertaining experience. In fact, the shop’s philosophy is focused on interactivity and to providing customers with a personalized experience based on their needs and fully integrated with the digital offer, following an omnichannel perspective. SKS365’s ambition is to take the simple usage of the products to a new level: the shop becomes a meeting point for immersive and multifunctional entertainment, and it is designed to maximize the social aspect of the game and to experience the passion for sport along with other people.
Special attention has also been paid to environmental sustainability: the shop’s activities will be almost entirely carried out in digital format, from posters to informative videos, to minimize paper usage. The massive use of LEDs will contribute to the low power consumption of the shop, which will also benefit from centralized and customized content management through the partner Net4Media.
“Planetwin365’s new flagship store is a fundamental step in SKS365’s mission, which is dedicated to all-round entertainment and the evolution of the player”, says Troy Cox, SKS365’s Chief Commercial Officer. “We are going towards a new dimension of gaming experience and it is important to provide our customers with an environment that meets their particular needs and encourages social interaction. The usability of the new shop and its technological efficiency are the starting point for achieving this goal, to which the architectural transparency of the shop will also contribute. We want our flagship store in Rome to become a reference point for all customers, a place to meet and socialize, as well as a place for entertainment”.
“Since many years we are investing in the retail network and it is fundamental to our omnichannel strategy that distinguishes all our activities”, continues Alexander Martin, CEO of SKS365. “In our vision, shops have to be comfortable and cosy places where people can meet and cultivate social relationships. Our customers are highly appreciating our entertaining shops and they enjoy football matches or other events with friends. In addition, we are offering a cutting-edge and engaging gaming experience. We have no doubt that the Planetwin365 flagship store will become not only a model for our future projects, but also a point of excellence for the whole industry.”

Sponsorship deal announced ahead of headline Dillian Whyte bout in Saudi Arabia
Bet9ja – Nigeria’s leading sportsbook, powered by Logifuture – has announced a partnership with heavyweight boxing sensation Moses Itauma.
Itauma, a 20-year-old British fighter of Nigerian descent, has rapidly become one of boxing’s most compelling figures, with an unbeaten professional record, having stopped 10 of his 12 opponents since turning professional in 2023.
The sponsorship deal comes as Itauma prepares for the biggest fight of his career – against Britain’s Dillian Whyte in a headline bout in Saudi Arabia on Saturday (August 16).
Bet9ja’s logo will be prominently displayed on Itauma’s training gear, as well as his ringside team’s clothing during fights. He is also contributing to a series of videos and digital content that fans will enjoy via Bet9ja’s social channels.
For Bet9ja, this sponsorship reflects their deep commitment to supporting Nigerian excellence in sports. As Nigeria’s number one sportsbook, Bet9ja, with Logifuture’s cutting-edge technology and marketing power behind it, continues to push boundaries.
Earlier this year, Bet9ja announced its renewed support for Nigeria national football team’s “Let’s Do It Again” campaign in the build up to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Bet9ja is powered by Logifuture, a leading provider of iGaming products, including Simulate and Zoom Soccer – flagship virtual sports titles that are transforming the way sports fans engage with their favourite sports, while providing increased revenues and consistent margins for operators.
Itauma said: “I’m delighted to be working with Bet9ja as I prepare for the biggest fight of my career so far. My Nigerian heritage and family have always been a source of pride, and this partnership is a powerful connection to my roots. I look forward to bringing my championship belts back to my father’s homeland.”
Logifuture Head of Content and Social Media Tom Beck said: “Moses Itauma is one of the most exciting young talents in global boxing.
“Moses has spoken about the strength he draws from his Nigerian roots and that makes him a natural fit for Bet9ja. For fans, he represents something special; a proud symbol of Nigerian toughness, talent and ambition on the global stage.
“Supporting his success means a lot to Logifuture and Bet9ja, and even more to our audience. We are looking forward to helping to share his journey with fans by providing exclusive access and behind-the-scenes content as he continues to build his reputation as one of the most explosive young fighters on the planet.”
Ayo Ojuroye, CEO of Bet9ja, said: “We’re incredibly excited to welcome Moses Itauma to the Bet9ja family. Moses embodies the spirit of resilience, power, and relentless pursuit of greatness that we champion. His Nigerian roots and global ambition make him a perfect fit for Bet9ja’s vision of empowering champions and delivering world-class player experiences. Partnering with Logifuture, we continue to elevate the standards of engagement in Nigerian sports.”

Betano and Sporting Clube de Portugal have renewed their partnership for an additional four seasons, extending the relationship between the two brands until the end of the 2028/29 season. A sponsor of “the Lions” since 2021, Betano — the premium sports betting and online gaming brand of Kaizen Gaming — will continue to support the Alvalade club as the Main Sponsor.
The renewed agreement covers both the First Team and the B Team, which currently competes in the second league, with Betano maintaining prominent branding on the front of both teams’ official shirts.
“We are very pleased. This renewal is the reward for a successful investment by both parties in the excellent relationship we’ve established over the past four years. We began our partnership with Betano as Champions and now we renew it as back-to-back Champions. With that in mind, I believe the conditions are ideal for continued success over the next four years,” adds André Bernardo, Chief Strategy and Operations Officer of Sporting Clube de Portugal.
“We are truly delighted to extend our partnership with Sporting Clube de Portugal. Over the past few years, we have built a strong relationship founded on trust and shared ambition. This partnership has also coincided with a remarkable period in the club’s history, as Sporting has secured back-to-back Portuguese league titles, as well as a Portuguese cup triumph. This renewal reflects the mutual success and confidence that defines our collaboration, and reinforces our commitment to Portuguese sport, its fans, and to delivering a safe, innovative, and responsible betting experience,” says Julio Iglesias, Chief Commercial Officer at Kaizen Gaming.
The new agreement also includes a wide range of joint activations and fan-focused initiatives, further strengthening the bond between the brand and the Sporting universe over the next four seasons.
