Italy is currently in the midst of overhauling its regulatory regime for online gambling under the Italian government’s ‘Reorganization of Gambling’ decree, with licenses fees to operate online gambling in Italy increasing to €7m for a nine-year license, increasing from the previous price of €200,000, in force since 2018.

In addition, new technical requirements are set to be imposed on licensees, with platforms required to have player-imposed limits on gameplay, with licensees required to send warning messaging when limits are set to be breached. Italy’s regulator, the ADM is also to be given new powers to combat unlicensed online gambling.
