Licence and what it means for you

Italian rules apply, and the national self-exclusion register (RUA) blocks you at every Italian-licensed site at once. Our data does not show which licences cover Sisal in Morocco and Turkey.

Sister sites
Snai is Sisal's closest sibling: also Italian, also licensed by ADM, and owned by Flutter since 2025. Betfair and PokerStars run Italian sites too, betfair.it and pokerstars.it. Further away sit Paddy Power, Sky Bet and FanDuel. Our data counts 22 other Flutter brands, 19 of them active. A self-exclusion in your Sisal account will not block the others; the RUA register does.
22 sister casinos
Same owner often means the same terms, the same support team and the same payout rules. A self-exclusion at one brand may not cover its sister sites.
