Best Tennis Betting Sites in Italy for 2026

The Sinner effect on Italian tennis betting

Tennis has moved from a niche to a mainstream betting sport in Italy in only a few seasons. Jannik Sinner's rise to the top of the men's game, a deep group of Italian men behind him and Jasmine Paolini's success on the women's tour mean there is an Italian name in the draw at almost every major event. Rome hosts the Internazionali BNL d'Italia each May, the ATP Finals have been staged in Turin since 2021, and Italy's Davis Cup runs have brought team tennis back into living rooms.

That popularity puts pressure on sportsbooks. A good tennis site must price dozens of overlapping ATP, WTA and Challenger matches a day, keep in-play odds moving point by point and explain clearly how it settles retirements, which happen far more often than in most sports.

Why bwin leads this ranking

bwin is the only Italian sportsbook to earn our top tennis depth rating, and that alone puts it first here despite ranking fifth overall. Its strength is live betting: point, game and set markets refresh quickly, streaming is available on many matches, and the app (rated 8.8) handles fast in-play betting well. If you follow Sinner's matches set by set rather than just backing him before the start, bwin is the natural home.

LeoVegas comes second with wide tennis coverage and the best overall product, a 9.5 app rating and live streaming. It suits bettors who want tennis alongside a strong football offer in one account. 888sport is third; its 9.2 markets rating, the highest of any site in our Italian test, gives you plenty of handicap and total games options on the main tours, and its clean layout makes it easy to find a specific match.

William Hill, Eurobet and Gioco Digitale all offer wide coverage of the main tours and Grand Slams. The gap to bwin shows mostly on smaller events and in the variety of in-play markets.

Making tennis bets work for you

Tennis rewards preparation more than impulse. A few practical points:

• Read each site's retirement rule before betting; some settle once the first set is complete, others void the bet if the match is not finished.
• Surface matters: form on the clay of Rome rarely carries straight over to indoor hard courts in Turin.
• Total games and set handicaps can offer more interest than backing a heavy favourite at short odds.
• Watch for fatigue in back-to-back events and long five-set matches at the Slams.
• Patriotic bets on Italian players are fun, but keep them to amounts you have already set aside.

Licensing and staying in control

Every sportsbook listed holds an ADM concession, displays its GAD number in the site footer and accepts only players aged 18 or older. Tennis runs almost every day of the year, so the betting never really stops; a deposit limit or a short break set in your account helps keep it a hobby. Free, confidential support is available on the Telefono Verde, 800 558 822.
