Flutter Entertainment’s new Sisal Italia unit has secured exclusive management of gaming in Tunisia, awarded by national sports betting authority, Promosport.

Sisal will develop and manage a ‘comprehensive product portfolio’ in Tunisia, including the provision of sports betting, online games, instant lotteries and number games (lottery draws). Promosport’s licence will cover an initial period of 10 years, and will allow management of all betting and gaming products across both retail points of sale and online channels throughout the country.

“Winning the tender in Tunisia is a significant achievement for Sisal,” remarked Marco Caccavale, Managing Director, Sisal International.

Occurring just a few months after the Italian firm’s acquisition by Flutter Entertainment, the Tunisian tender – lauded as an ‘important milestone’ – broadens the reach of the FTSE100 gambling group’s operations in Europe and North Africa.
