An insight to the Italian betting market with Eskil Kvarnström, CEO of Leadstar Media
The Italian betting market has a long and established tradition dating back to the post-war years of the 1940s. A familiar feature to many generations of Italians, it continues to register growth on an annual basis. 2019 in particular was a positive year for the betting market, registering a total spend of €1.6 billion. It builds on the €1.46 billion spent in the previous year, marking a considerable increase of 7.4% in total.
A key player driving the expansion of the market as a whole is the online betting community in itself. Recent figures presented by Agimeg, show an exponential increase for the Italian online betting market with a growth of 59.8% in January 2020 compared to January 2019. Data that confirms the ongoing trend of the increasing popularity in betting online as opposed to visiting the conventional brick and mortar shops across the whole country.
To discuss this further, we have invited CEO & Founder of Leadstar Media Eskil Kvarnström, who hosts the affiliate page in Italy.
For those that don’t know Leadstar Media, please tell us a bit more about your company?
Leadstar Media was founded 12 years ago with the aim to conquer the iGaming affiliate market and deliver high quality leads to our partners. To achieve this, we focus on creating high quality content that is combined with a strong SEO-strategy. Currently, we are active across 16 different geographical markets including the Italian market.
What lays behind the decision to create a product geared towards the Italian market?
We always knew that the italian betting market was one of the largest in Europe, and with the belief that we deliver the best product for our customers in other countries, we were certain that we would also find success in Italy. Today, BookmakerBonus.it has established itself as one of the leading sportsbook comparison sites in Italy.
Do you have any insights into the current trends of the Italian online betting market?
The shift of many italian players deciding to undertake a part or in fact all of their betting online rather than visiting brick and mortar shops is clearly visible in the increase of the traffic to our site. BookmakerBonus.it provides these players with guides and help on how to get going with their online betting. Additionally, we also discovered that most of the users visiting BookmakerBonus.it (around 80%), do so by using their mobile phones. Therefore it is crucial to have a website which is optimized for this section of the market.
What are your future plans for the italian market?
The current strategy is to continue to improve the site and achieve a 10/10 product with it. We want to provide our customers with whatever information they might need in regards to the online betting market and offer guides to help them in their shift from doing their betting offline to an online platform. For the future we are considering an expansion of our product portfolio in Italy with a completely new website that could be targeting the online casino market.

Meet MegaList: The Rising Force in iGaming Affiliation

There are affiliate networks, and then there’s MegaList – a performance-first, hype-last kind of operation built for casino and sportsbook brands that prefer results over buzzwords.
In an industry that sometimes feels like it’s powered by vague metrics and recycled content, MegaList steps in as the “Mega Map” – a practical, data-driven network guiding both players and operators to higher ground. Less “look at our reach,” more “here’s your conversion rate.”
So no, this isn’t just another logo-stamped brand promising traffic and delivering bounce rates. This is a carefully engineered affiliate engine built on smart SEO, qualified leads, and just enough caffeine-fueled obsession with results to make even the most skeptical operators pay attention.
The iGaming Affiliate World: Why It (Still) Matters
Let’s be honest – the affiliate space in iGaming has had its fair share of bad actors and empty promises. But when done right, affiliate marketing is still one of the most effective and efficient ways to connect licensed operators with the right players.
Players want fewer popups, more clarity. Operators want actual ROI, not vague impressions.
Enter: the data-driven affiliate network.
It’s simple:
- Informed players make better choices.
- Strategic affiliates deliver better traffic.
- Everyone wins. Except, of course, the shady operators who preferred it the other way.
Meet the MegaList Brands
These aren’t vanity microsites. Each MegaList brand has a specific mission, actual humans behind the content, and a reputation for, well… telling it like it is.
MegaCasinoList
Let’s face it – players don’t need another affiliate promising “top 10 casinos” based on whatever ad paid the most. They need honest, transparent, expert-backed reviews.
That’s where MegaCasinoList comes in – a platform that filters out the noise and delivers legit info on licensed casinos, security, fairness, and gameplay. Slots? Live dealer games? Payout speed? Yep, it’s all in there, and it’s all vetted.
They work with reliable operators only, because – and here’s a crazy idea – not every shiny site deserves your deposit.
MegaTipsList
If you like sports predictions that read like a 20-page legal document, you’re in the wrong place.
MegaTipsList is built for bettors who want real insights, fast reads, accurate tips, and actual value. It delivers predictions, sports news, and timely promotions – minus the fluff and with none of that “win guaranteed” nonsense.
Designed for bettors who like to stay informed without needing a PhD to understand the odds.
MegaBetList
For the practical bettor who just wants the facts: which sites are legit, which ones pay fast, and what to expect before placing your first wager.
MegaBetList reviews betting platforms with a clear, no-nonsense voice. It’s not trying to dazzle; it’s trying to help people bet smarter – and it’s doing a pretty solid job of it.
From licensing to promotions to usability, everything is covered – and everything is filtered through what actually matters to sports fans.
Why This All Matters (And Why It’s Working)
The iGaming world doesn’t need more noise. It needs better filters, smarter partners, and affiliates that actually care whether the traffic leads somewhere useful.
That’s where MegaList comes in – not to impress with buzzwords, but to perform, to scale, and to make sure both operators and players are on the same page for once.
And if we may drop in a little vision while we’re at it:
“At MegaList, we believe informed players and strategic operators shape a stronger, smarter iGaming industry.”
For once, a statement that isn’t just inspirational filler.
So the next time someone pitches you an affiliate network, ask one thing: “Do they have a plan, or just a landing page?”
MegaList has both, and a track record to prove it.

Boomerang Partners co-founder Ivan Kraynov steps away to explore new industries

Ivan Kraynov, co-founder of Boomerang Partners, is stepping away from the company to focus on new investment projects across various industries. Boomerang Partners, a dynamic global brand, will continue its growth trajectory by expanding its market share and reaching new industry heights.
Since co-founding Boomerang Partners in 2020, Ivan Kraynov has played a key role in shaping the company’s strategic direction and driving its growth.
“Looking back over the past five years, I’m truly proud of what we’ve accomplished so far — from forming a brilliant team and launching award-winning campaigns to turning Boomerang into a recognized name in the industry. I’m grateful to everyone who’s been part of this journey and am now excited to see what the future holds for my new team during our transition into different types of investment opportunities” said Kraynov about his departure. “I believe one of the most important principles in business is knowing when to shift your focus and let go — and for me, that time is now. I’m moving on to concentrate on other projects where I’m involved as a co-founder or as an investor. I am proud to be leaving Boomerang Partners in the capable hands of true industry leaders.” According to Ivan Kraynov, his upcoming ventures involve projects in IT, HoReCa, and other sectors.
Boomerang Partners is a global brand operating as an affiliate program and agency from a direct advertiser. Its growing portfolio includes more than 15 iGaming brands. The company has strengthened its market presence through notable partnerships — including with AC Milan and football star Alisha Lehmann. In 2024, Boomerang launched the first annual affiliate traffic tournament, the Golden Boomerang Awards. This year, the awards ceremony has attracted more than 400 teams worldwide, highlighting both the scale of the event and Boomerang Partners’ recognized status in the market.
