The draft decree setting out the new regime under which the Italian Gaming Authority will issue new online gaming licenses during the next months also contains interesting “surprises” for gaming operators.
Indeed, the draft decree expressly prohibits the installation of gaming terminals connecting to online gaming websites run by licensees in public places. This kind of gaming terminals called “TOTEM” have become very popular in Italy and the biggest gaming operators have placed them in a number of coffee shops, department stores and gaming halls gaining a considerable advantage from them since players can recharge their gaming account through totems and because they represent a unique tool to connect the online world with offline premises.
However, the potential damages that current gaming operators can face because of these new bans might represent a considerable advantage for new entrants in the Italian gaming market. In fact, since the competition between gaming operators will take place only in the online world, this circumstance might lower the gap between current operators and new entrants; the operators that will launch the best platforms, the most interesting games and the best marketing initiatives might attract a considerable number of players in a short term.
