The Sisal Group was the first-ever gambling business founded in Italy. It was set up in Milan in 1945 by three sports journalists. They are Massimo Della Pergola, Fabio Jegher and Geo Molo. They created the first football-related contest in 1946 and a physical agency to operate gambling games in Italy.
The Sisal Group has two arms in this business. Sisal is the one that takes care of the management and coordination and Sisal Entertainment is a company with a single shareholder created in 2012.
Sisal is licenced and regulated by the Excise, Customs and Monopolies agency of Italy (ADM).
Sisal is considered the first and most important Italian gaming company in constant expansion in the iGaming market. Today, Sisal serves 6.8 million customers in the country and has 39 thousand retail points, with gross sales estimated at € 9.8 billion.
In addition to Italy, the Sisal Group opened in 2019 new business divisions in Spain and Morocco. In 2020 the company expanded to Turkey as well.
Sisal Group is unique in terms of sustainable return for society. They normally offer prizes and sponsor different projects in countries that ceded their business like Spain and Morocco. An example of success is GoBeyond which received 120 proposals in the third edition. In partnership with CVC Capital Partners, they are looking to stimulate innovation to change an idea into a business reality. All these projects intend to bring solutions in several areas such as economy, tourism and mobility.
