Entain Foundation Extends Support for Grassroots Sports to Italy
The Entain Foundation, the non-profit organisation funded by Entain, is for the first time extending its support for community sports projects to Italy – where Entain operates through the Eurobet, bwin and Gioco Digitale brands.
The Entain Foundation has partnered with Sport Senza Frontiere Onlus to support underprivileged young people and their families in cities and towns across Italy, through the provision of community sports and tutoring.
The investment by the Entain Foundation will go directly into Sport Senza Frontiere Onlus’ intervention programme. As well as free access to 30 different sport disciplines, the program provides beneficiaries with school and tutoring services, counselling, health education and medical support, and support specifically for parents.
The investment is in line with the Foundation’s goals to invest in sports at the grassroots level. Entain, through the Foundation, already supports community sports initiatives in the UK, through its SportsAid partnership and Pitching In programme; Greece, through Team Forward, an Olympic-focused program to fund athletes, and further projects in Germany and Colombia.
Sport Senza Frontiere Onlus, established in Italy in 2009, is a non-profit organization. Its mission centres around sport being accessible to all and used as an effective tool for education, conflict prevention, inclusion, and social cohesion. The organization designs and organises free sport plans for children and teenagers from families across Italy at risk of exclusion, and who are experiencing economic hardship and social fragility. These plans are monitored by qualified staff and organised in co-operation with a Solidarity Network of over 180 sport associations.
The project, which will run throughout 2022, aims to reach a total of 400 direct beneficiaries in Naples, Rome, Milan, Turin, Bergamo and Trento.
“We have a fantastic partner in Sport Senza Frontiere Onlus, and through this collaboration, we will put our best efforts into transforming the lives of hundreds of disadvantaged children and teenagers across Italy – through which free access to sport and education is key. We hope to help grow the organization’s intervention program in years to come and make a real change to the lives of the program’s beneficiaries – setting them up for a brighter future,” Andrea Faelli, Managing Director of Eurobet, said.
In addition, the Foundation will also support Sport Senza Frontiere Onlus on a separate, second initiative, which will involve Entain employees working for its Eurobet brands in Italy. Called Wellbeing for Good, this is a six-month project starting next month which seeks to promote the wellbeing of Eurobet employees through sports activities, social inclusion projects and team building activities, and to encourage them to volunteer to support Sport Senza Frontiere Onlus activities.

Leading online slot developer announces launch of Snoop’s High Rollers which will go live exclusively with popular crypto sportsbook and casino
Gaming Corps, a publicly listed game development company based in Sweden, has signed a major deal that will see it launch an exclusive slot game in collaboration with rap legend, Snoop Dogg. The game will drop exclusively on Roobet, the online casino where Snoop Dogg is a brand ambassador.
Snoop Dogg needs no introduction. He made his music industry debut when he appeared on Dr Dre’s 1992 album, The Chronic, and has since sold more than 50 million albums worldwide. He’s also made several movie and TV show appearances, making him one of the most iconic artists of all time.
The game is “Snoop’s High Rollers” and allows players to experience what it’s like to live life as a music legend. The soundtrack is inspired by Snoop’s early and later works and the main man has also narrated parts of the game to really bring it to life.
Snoop has also played a part in creating the gameplay, hand-picking mechanics and bonus features to really put his stamp on the game. Roobet has also got in on the action, leading to a unique online slot that will soar to the top of the charts among its players.
Snoop’s High Rollers will make its debut exclusively on Roobet, the crypto casino and sportsbook that has taken the market by storm since its launch in 2019. The casino’s team has put a comprehensive marketing strategy behind the game with plans to use it to drive new customer acquisition at scale.
“It is with much pride that we at Gaming Corps have had the chance to develop a game in close collaboration with Snoop Dogg and Roobet, where we have combined our unique gaming perspective with Snoop Dogg’s unparalleled style and charisma,” Juha Kauppinen, Gaming Corps CEO, said:-
“Our vision is to offer players an experience where music, culture and gaming merge into something extraordinary. Our close collaboration with Roobet has enabled us to do the impossible, namely world-class marketing, game release is planned for 20 of April. We’re thrilled, and discussions are already underway about several game concepts!”
Anthony Brennan, Head of Partnerships at Roobet, added: “Roobet loves pushing the envelope and never flinches at an opportunity to bring iGaming and pop culture together. Snoop loves his game, we love the game, and we’ve been delighted at the experience of building something that feels fresh in an industry full of remixes.
“We can’t say enough nice things about the Gaming Corps team, and we’re excited to hear what the gaming community has to say!”
