Netwin Wins Italian Market Rising Star 2025 at SiGMA Central Europe Awards

Italian online gaming operator Netwin has been named Italian Market Rising Star 2025 at the SiGMA Central Europe B2C Awards, held on November 4 at Rome’s Cinecittà Studios.

The recognition highlights Netwin’s rapid growth as one of Italy’s fastest-emerging regulated operators in the competitive online gaming landscape.

Rising Operator in Italy’s Regulated Market

Netwin, operated by MAC S.r.l. and backed by RB Holding, a group with over 50 years of experience in the entertainment sector, has established itself as a notable player in Italy’s regulated iGaming market. The company holds gaming license GAD number 15432 from Italy’s Agenzia delle Dogane e Monopoli (ADM).

Based in Ravenna, the operator offers Italian players access to casino games and sports betting through a platform designed with emphasis on user experience, security, and regulatory compliance.

Award Recognition at SiGMA Central Europe

The SiGMA Central Europe B2C Awards took place during the annual gaming summit, which ran from November 3-6 in Rome. The B2C Awards ceremony, powered by 1xBet and VBET, recognized brands and operators that have redefined player engagement and experience in the gaming sector.

Netwin was shortlisted in the Industry Rising Star 2025 category alongside other emerging brands including Duospin, Winhero, Mr.Booster, and Quigioco.it. The category celebrates emerging brands and startups disrupting the gaming space with new approaches and market innovation.

Platform Features and Market Positioning

The operator’s platform features a catalog of over 3,000 slot titles from providers including Play’n GO, Pragmatic Play, Relax Gaming, and Habanero. Netwin also offers live casino experiences through partnerships with Evolution Gaming and other established providers.

The company has focused on building its position in Italy’s regulated market through responsible gaming measures, including deposit limits, session timers, and self-exclusion options that help operators meet ADM regulatory requirements.

In late November 2024, Netwin expanded its content offering through a partnership with Stakelogic, integrating the provider’s slot and live casino portfolio into its platform.

"We are always searching for new ways to enhance our offering and bring additional quality to our customers’ experiences," said Simone Paderi, Commercial Director at Netwin, commenting on the company’s approach to platform development.

Italy’s Growing iGaming Market

The award comes as Italy continues to develop as a key regulated market within Europe’s gaming sector. The country’s regulated framework, overseen by ADM, requires operators to maintain strict compliance standards while offering entertainment options to players.

SiGMA Central Europe 2025 drew over 30,000 professionals to Rome’s Fiera Roma exhibition center, featuring conferences addressing regulatory frameworks, compliance, and technology innovations across the gaming industry.
