Hacksaw Continues Expansion Plans with Italy Launch

Hacksaw Gaming, the provider of innovative, mobile-first games, is continuing its expansion into new territories with its latest market entry into Italy.

Some of Hacksaw’s most popular games, such as Wanted Dead or a Wild, Joker Bombs and Hand of Anubis are now available on 888.it via 888casino, one of the world’s leading casino brands and part of 888 Holdings plc.

Hacksaw has been expanding significantly of late, gaining licences in Romania, Spain, the Isle of Man and Ontario during 2022. It is also set to launch in the United States in Q1, having been granted a provisional licence there earlier in November.

Other Italian operators are due to go live with Hacksaw’s games before the end of the year, with more due to follow during Q1 of 2023. According to recent research by Statistica*, the Italian gambling market generated more than 15 billion EUR in GGR in 2021 alone.

Marcus Cordes, CEO at Hacksaw added: “We’re delighted to be able to offer our favourite and much-loved games to the Italian market through this partnership with leading international casino brand 888casino.

“We will expand quickly in Italy, which is just the latest territory that we’ve begun operating in. We’re planning to do great things in 2023 and this is just the sort of good news we wanted to keep our momentum going into the new year.”

Talya Benyamini, VP B2C Casino at 888, added: “Partnering with leading suppliers like Hacksaw Gaming, and supplementing our portfolio of games with its exciting titles, is a core part of our product and content leadership strategy. We are excited to provide the best gaming experience for our players in our core market in Italy“.
