Inspired's virtuals

Betclic will have access to Inspired’s full library of 11 virtual games broadening further the operator’s online gaming offering in the country, which already includes sports betting, casino, live casino and poker.

Francesco Postiglione, head of Italian operations at Betclic Everest, said: “Virtual betting is an important addition to our current sportsbook and gaming offers. We believe this high quality product will be in line with our Italian customer expectations.”

Inspired currently lays claim to approximately 95 per cent of the land-based, online and mobile virtual sports market in Italy, with its virtuals now available to Italian players in more than 7,000 betting venues and across a host of leading websites.
