Spielo International and GTECH G2 are the latest to apply for Interactive Gaming Service Provider licences in Nevada.

Walter Bugno, president and CEO of Spielo, said: “Applying for these licences in Nevada is an important step in our i-gaming strategy for the US.”
GTECH G2 business units, Boss Media and St Minver, are the other two to be included on the application.

Italian operator Microgame is ready to launch a betting exchange in conjunction with Ireland’s Global Betting Exchange (GBE). It comes after Italy changed its legislation regarding exchanges and it will be integrated with existing products as part of the People’s IBEX Brand. GBE chief executive Brian O’Sullivan said: “We have been monitoring progress towards the regulation of Betting Exchange in Italy and are delighted that we are close to the point where Italian consumers can benefit from the full range of betting exchange features that we have been providing to users in the UK for more than 10 years.”
It means GBE’s Betdaq will be in competition with Betfair’s soon-to-be launched Italian offering.
