NetBet Italy has announced a new partnership with Isibet Pro, aimed at expanding its virtual sports game offerings. This collaboration will see NetBet’s library grow with a wide range of virtual sports titles, including football, horse and dog racing, motor racing, cycling, and tennis.
Claudia Georgevici, PR Manager at NetBet, said: “We’re delighted to team up with Isibet Pro to offer our customers an even more diverse and enjoyable sports gaming experience. The new virtual sports games will be a hit with our players.”
Isibet Pro’s CEO, Romano Biondi, noted: “Partnering with NetBet is a fantastic opportunity. We share the same values in iGaming, and we’re eager for NetBet’s users to enjoy our virtual sports titles while adhering to responsible gaming practices.”
This deal marks another key milestone for NetBet Italy as it continues to grow. Earlier, NetBet also partnered with Relax Gaming, adding a variety of new games to its collection.
Meanwhile, Macau’s Legislative Assembly has unanimously passed a new law targeting illegal gambling, marking a significant shift in the region’s gambling regulations.
The legislation introduces tougher measures to crack down on illegal gambling activities both within and outside casinos. A key focus is on curbing parallel and side betting, addressing long-standing issues in the gaming sector.
While the new law leaves online gaming largely unchanged, updates have been made to reflect the latest developments in the industry. One of the major revisions is the criminalisation of illegal currency exchanges related to gambling, whether they take place inside or outside casinos. This aims to strengthen financial crime prevention without directly affecting casino patrons.
Additionally, the law tightens regulations on loans used for gambling, enforcing stricter controls. It also targets the exploitation of lotteries, including foreign lotteries, with penalties of up to two years in prison.
Despite broad support for the new measures, lawmaker Ron Lam raised concerns about the sale of the Hong Kong Lottery (Mark 6) in Macau. He urged the government to clarify its stance on potential legal ambiguities surrounding this issue.
In response, Secretary for Administration and Justice André Cheong clarified that the law focuses on commercial exploitation of lotteries rather than casual transactions between individuals.
