Sisal was born out of the dreams and intuitions of three sports journalists, Massimo Della Pergola, Fabio Jegher and Geo Molo, who together, on September 3, 1945, established the first Italian company to operate in the gaming sector with a government licence.
On May 5, 1946, the first Sisal Schedina or football pools coupon was played, marking the start of the football match prediction competition that came to be known as Totocalcio.
Over the years, Sisal has invented a number of successful games in addition to Totocalcio, including Totip and the more recent SuperEnalotto and Win for Life.

In recent years, leveraging a network of over 45,000 points of sale spread in a close-knit network across all Italy, the Group has set a diversification process in motion as a result of which it is now one of the main players on the payment services market with the SisalPay brand.

Sisal works in a sensitive market and our first commitment is to promote a responsible approach to gaming that is balanced, aware and based on the most advanced standards in the sector, as is periodically certified by the European Lotteries and the World Lottery Association.
Our main goals are to prohibit minors from gaming, to prevent compulsive gaming, to provideorientation for problem players, and to offer assistance to the most vulnerable of them.
On the training front, Responsible Gaming is one of the subjects studied by all Sisal employees and point of sale network staff.
The company also monitors how risky games are and finances market research to learn about the extent of the phenomenon and identify the best measures to deal with it.
