SKS365 (€8.6m), Eurobet (€7.8m) and Sisal (€7m) rounded off the top five and were the only operators to bring in GGR of more than €7m for the month.
Online GGR for Italy’s 18 biggest gambling operators, including the likes of bwin, William Hill and Betfair, reached a combined €64.3m for August, down from €80.4m in the month prior.
Bet365 also triumphed in the online turnover rankings for August, raking in €171m on a margin of 6.8%, to beat closest rival Eurobet (€79.3m) on a margin of 10.8%.
Bet365 obtained 24.8% market share as a percentage of online turnover last month and 16.6% of market share as a percentage of online GGR.
Playtech-owned Snaitech recorded the highest overall GGR for August (€20.6m) due to its considerable retail presence in the country.
