iGaming news | Flutter’s tombola, Sisal strike platform partnership in Italy

Italian gaming operator Sisal is to integrate tombola’s proprietary bingo product on its app and website in a combination of the two Flutter Entertainment brands’ technology.

Games will still have Sisal branding but will be powered behind the scenes by bingo brand tombola’s tech.

Later this year, tombola’s first platform partnership will be extended to include the launch of its casino product on Sisal.

Flutter said tombola is introducing Super Bingo to its Italian platform. The product is a 75-ball bingo game that Flutter said “will generate significant full house prizes well beyond what has been available in the market up to now.”

The combination of the technology at tombola and Sisal means there will be a greater liquidity pool for larger prizes and bigger jackpots.

Rosangela Robbiani, chief product officer at Flutter Southern Europe and Africa (SEA), which includes Sisal, said: “We’re thrilled to see this combination happening, as Italy proves once again to be a fertile ground for collaboration across Flutter’s brands, particularly within Southern Europe and Africa.”

“This is a hugely exciting moment for tombola, as we take the next step in our evolution and bring our award-winning bingo product to Sisal’s players in Italy,” added Marion Ryan, managing director at tombola.

“The ability to seamlessly integrate and scale our platform for future partnerships represents a fantastic opportunity for Flutter to transform the bingo proposition, both within our existing markets and beyond.”
