Altenar Expands Front-End and Product Offering in Italy
Altenar, the leading sportsbook and iGaming software provider, has bolstered its range of products within the Italian market, offering a variety of new tools and features to operators.
This latest expansion sees Altenar increase its product offer in one of the most sought-after European jurisdictions where the leading tech provider has been live for the past four years.
Among its most recent developments, Altenar has significantly upgraded the latest version of its front-end, offering a faster, fully-customisable solution that enables the addition of features based on individual operator needs.
Operators can now build their sportsbooks as they wish, and move widgets to match their business.
Altenar has also become one of the first sportsbooks to launch Partial Cashout on the Italian market, following the release of the feature in October 2022 after new rules were introduced by the regulator.
Finally, Altenar has gone live with its latest creation, the new Promotional Bonus tool, which has given the provider a significant competitive edge by enabling operators to freely choose matches and leagues to boost the odds.
Francesco Papallo, Regional Director at Altenar, said: “We have made some major changes to our front-end and products in Italy and we are delighted with the outcome.
“Italy is a very difficult market due to the many different regulations in place and our work here over many years has been hugely successful. We expect operators and players to enjoy our latest offering.”
Fabrizio Frenna, Managing Director at Diecimilauno, one of the first operators in Italy to launch Altenar’s Partial-Cashout, said: “The Partial Cashout is a feature that allows the player to better decide how to manage their winnings and makes them active and involved in the game decision making process. The new feature has been received by the players in a very positive way and we have noticed it gaining popularity.
“Altenar is always attentive to the needs of the market and collaborates with Diecimilauno to offer an increasingly high-performance service also based on the type of bettor we have.”

Playtech PLC has struck an agreement to exit its Happybet online gambling and retail betting unit in Germany.
The gambling software company had closed the Austrian Happybet business in the second half of 2024 and in March of this year, said it kicked off a process to sell the remainder of the unit in Germany.
The move was in line with its aim to sharpen its focus as a “predominantly pure-play business-to-business operator”.
It has now struck a deal with NetX Betting Ltd, a subsidiary of Frankfurt-listed betting group pferdewetten.de AG.
Dusseldorf-based pferdewetten.de will have the chance to contact franchise partners of Happybet shops in Germany.
“As part of this agreement, pferdewetten.de will also assume ownership of certain associated hardware,” Playtech said.
“There will now be a transition period to allow pferdewetten.de to negotiate with the relevant franchise partners and for the relevant regulatory approvals to be sought from the competent authorities in Germany. It is intended that any remaining Happybet assets not transferred to, or assumed by, pferdewetten.de will cease operations and, where relevant, will be wound up.”
Playtech shares fell 0.8% to 319.85 pence each in London on Wednesday morning.
At the end of last month, Playtech completed the sale of Snaitech Spa to Flutter Entertainment PLC for EUR2.30 billion.
The Isle of Man-based firm said the completion of the deal allowed it to focus on its technology-led offering in high-growth business-to-business gambling markets.

Bet Builder bets are taking the global football betting world by storm, with Entain’s Global Sportsbook reporting record-breaking growth in 2024 and 2025. Thanks to major tournaments like EURO 2024 and Copa América, Bet Builder stakes more than doubled last year, and the momentum shows no signs of slowing.
In September 2024, all Entain digital brands completed the transition to an in-house built Bet Builder product. It is being improved and developed by the product and technology teams constantly to great effect with Bet Builder share of bets doubling in the first half of 2025. This Saturday’s Champions League Final between Inter Milan and PSG is on track to become the most popular club match ever for this type of bet.
“Bet Builders have quickly become one of the most influential innovations in modern sports betting. In an otherwise low-scoring sport, customers can create bets that align with their predictions for the flow or story of a game. They offer fans customisation, interactivity, and the chance to leverage niche insights in a strategic way,” said Tom Ritzema, Group Trading Director at Entain.
Highlights:
• The Argentina vs. Brazil World Cup qualifier in March was the biggest Bet Builder event of 2025 so far.
• England vs. Spain in the EURO 2024 Final remains the largest Bet Builder match ever recorded.
• Spanish football leads globally, with around 20% of all football bets now being Bet Builders, while it is also hugely popular in the Brazilian market.
• Shots on target has surged as a top market, especially in South America, alongside match result and total goals.
The trend is especially strong among recreational bettors who prefer frequent, lower-stake bets with higher returns. In Brazil, nearly 40% of all wagers on key domestic fixtures like Corinthians vs. Palmeiras were Bet Builders, as well as Brazil’s major international fixtures.
With increasing global adoption, especially in Europe and South America, Bet Builders are reshaping how fans engage with football betting, offering unprecedented personalisation and control. The next step will be to offer the bet builder product In-Play across all Entain labels.
