Italy was one of the first countries to adopt an online gaming license system. Furthermore, “Microgame” has been operating in Italy since 1996 and has developed web applications since then. Founded by Fabrizio D'Aloia, current president and CEO of “Microgame”, the company has worked in gambling sector since 1998, when sports betting became legal in Italy.

In a few years, Microgame has made a name for itself crossing national borders, especially in the Eastern Europe (Russia, Georgia, Kirghizistan), and Western Europe market (UK, Austria and Malta). Apart from sports betting, horse race betting and online instant lotteries have been recently introduced, too; furthermore, virtual prize competitions inspired by classics like pools or Totogol (Italian gambling game) appeared four years ago.

Microgame is one of the first companies to enter the new legal market of AAMS online poker in 2008, through “People's Poker” skin. Later, bingo and online casino games became available, too. Moreover, with the launch of “People's Poker Tour”, “People’s Poker” joined the market of live poker tournaments.

Software review

“Microgame” software is an Italian high-quality product. “BOS”, the platform developed by “Microgame”, is highly personalizable. The “Application Programming Interface” allows the operator to handle the software focalizing on his needs, through the following protocols: PSQF (fixed odds bets), PGDA (skill games), BNG (bingo), PSR (National totalisator games and horse-race), PSIP (horse betting) and PCP (sports totalisator bets).

As far as concerns back-office, “Microgame” software is every bit as good as the other European products. Provided with every management tool (reports, deposits, withdrawals, accounting balances, overview of cash desks), offers the opportunity of exporting the contents of all reports so that they could be supported by the most common administrative management programs.
