Sales in Italy for Intralot saw a huge boost in
sales in 2014 and they remain the largest non Italian sports betting company in the country. Group revenues for 2014 amounted to €1.8bn
– a 20 percent increase on the previous year. Intralot Interactive is the online subsidiary
providing technology to lotteries and state organisations worldwide. Antonis Dimos, Group Director Lotteries said:
“As digitally-savvy generations reach maturity, interactive channels increasingly become the preferred lottery distribution platforms which prove that the future of the lottery industry is heading towards becoming more interactive. With Europe being in the forefront of digital lottery market regulation, an increasing number of European governments regulate their gaming markets and legalise online sales as a response to their increased demand of securing additional government revenues. With average increase year on year calculated at 22 per cent for 2013/14 according to La Fleur’s Almanac, European Lotteries are beginning to fully exploit the medium’s potentiality.”
