Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Stake has acquired Italy-based sports betting and remote gaming operator Baldo Line s.r.l, a company previously part of the Octavian Group, and will acquire Idealbet.it, aiming to bolster global expansion efforts and strengthen its market position, furthering its commitment to delivering top-tier entertainment to players.

This pivotal strategic acquisition marks Stake’s continued growth into new markets, following its acquisition of Betfair Colombia in November 2023, which announced its entry into Latin America.

Through this acquisition, Stake will introduce a portfolio of innovative gaming options to players in Italy. The combination of Idealbet’s established presence and Italy’s mature, substantial market provides Stake with a robust foundation for growth in the region.

Following the acquisition, Stake will establish a local presence in Italy by opening an office in Italy to expand on its team of employees. Idealbet will continue to operate under its own brand within the Stake portfolio.

Commenting on the significance of the acquisition, Brais Pena, Chief Strategy Officer at Easygo, the technology powerhouse behind Stake, said: “This acquisition aligns with our strategic ambitions to increase our global footprint, particularly in an established region like Italy, and marks a significant milestone for Stake. We’re thrilled to work with Idealbet to provide the best experience for our customers.”

Commenting further on the acquisition, Simone Pachera, Chief Executive Office at Octavian said: “We’re excited to collaborate with Stake and usher in a new experience for our customers, further expanding the market in Italy. Since acquiring Baldo Line, we have built a strong foundation for Idealbet through our AGP gaming platform and HubCasino aggregator.

“Now, we are thrilled to transition operations to Stake, a globally renowned brand with a proven track record of delivering exceptional player experience. We are confident that Stake will significantly enhance the growth of Idealbet and bring renewed energy to our players, as well as the entire Italian online gaming market.”
