The Italian Parliament has granted an extension until the end of 2024 to gaming licenses on remote gaming, AWP and VLT network management, sports and horse racing betting, and bingo hall management.
The lockdown measures for the Italian land-based gambling halls, betting shops, and bingo halls are being terminated with a reopening quickly occurring.
The increase of tax on Italian VLTs and Comma 6A might lead to a further change in the market that has been the victim of a considerable tax pressure during the last years.
The Italian budget law is going to adopt a compulsory register of gambling operators and suppliers, the payment blocking of transactions towards unlicensed operators and other measures on betting, bingo and land-based slot machines.
A considerable reduction of Italian gaming machines, the so called AWPs, obtained the final validation with the publication of the relevant decree on the Official Gazette.
