Eurobet has fortified its reputation as a first mover in the Italian market by rolling out Betradar’s Virtual Football League and Virtual Football Nations Cup across its retail, online and mobile platforms.

A leading and true multi-channel operator dedicated to Italian customers, Eurobet will be the first operators in Italy to deliver Betradar’s new retail version across its 850+ retail sites.

The Virtual Football League features 16 teams playing 240 fixtures per season across 30 match days, each having 8 games played in parallel. The Virtual Football Nations Cup is played by 24 international teams, playing a total of 51 matches across an initial group phase followed by the traditional knock out stages.

Speaking about the developments, Eurobet MD Andrea Faelli said: “At Eurobet, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of sports betting innovations and offerings. Naturally, we want to adopt that same commitment across our virtual betting offering, and this partnership with Sportradar is integral to that approach.  These new modes will provide fresh formats for Italian punters to enjoy, whether in shop, on line or on their mobiles”.

Heinz Kierchhoff, MD Gaming at Betradar added: “10,000 shops worldwide offer our Virtual Football product and we are delighted that Eurobet’s outlets have decided to not only stay with us, but also embrace these new iterations of our award-winning offering. Since 1995, they remain the go-to operators across Italy and their faith in what we are doing is a powerful indicator that we remain on the right track. And with ICE not too far away now, it gives us great confidence as we get ready to launch even more Virtual products in London for 2018.”
