Intralot Advances €2.7bn Bally’s Deal with Definitive Agreement
The boards of directors at both companies have already approved the transaction, signalling a strong commitment to the strategic partnership.
Intralot has taken a significant step forward in its planned acquisition of Bally’s International Interactive, signing a definitive transaction agreement with Bally’s Corporation. The move cements the framework for a transformative €2.7 billion deal first announced earlier this month.
The boards of directors at both companies have already approved the transaction, signalling a strong commitment to the strategic partnership. Once completed, the acquisition will significantly reshape the ownership structure of Intralot, with Bally’s — already its largest shareholder — expected to become the majority stakeholder.
The deal is scheduled to close before the end of 2025, pending customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
The acquisition is seen as a bold play by Intralot to consolidate its position in the global gaming and interactive entertainment space. Bally’s International Interactive, the digital division of Bally’s Corporation, brings a portfolio of iGaming and sportsbook assets across North America and beyond — aligning with Intralot’s ambition to diversify and strengthen its digital capabilities.
Industry analysts view the move as part of a wider trend of consolidation in the gaming sector, where operators and suppliers alike are seeking scale and synergy amid shifting regulatory environments and increased competition across key markets.
The finalisation of this deal would mark a major milestone for both companies and could create a newly empowered player in the international interactive gaming landscape.
