Earlier this month, French online poker site Winamax signed professional poker players Mustapha Kanit of Italy and Adrián Mateos of Spain as Team Pro ambassadors.
It was believed at the time that the signings were part of Winamax's preparation for the eventual shared liquidity between France, Italy, Spain and Portugal after an agreement was inked between the four countries to allow licensed online gaming sites to share player pools.
Winamax Purchases Italian Gaming License
As another step to prepare for shared liquidity, Italian gaming affiliate Agipro News reported last week that Winamax purchased the Italian gaming license of bet-at-home, a German subsidiary of the French company Betclic Everest Group.
