“We are really excited about our Italian venture,” said Henry Birch, Chief Executive Officer for William Hill Online, which is the joint venture the London-based operator launched in partnership with gaming software developer Playtech Limited in October of 2008.
“The combination of a high passion for sports and gaming makes Italy one of the most important markets in our international expansion plans.
“We’ve spent a lot of time developing the site and ensuring it conforms to the AAMS regulatory requirements. We’re delighted with the outcome of the site and we believe it will be a big hit with Italian players.”
