The regulatory authority has adopted a new set of guidelines designed to streamline licensing procedures and enforce more rigorous compliance standards. This reform aims to fundamentally alter the landscape for operators seeking entry and ongoing activity within the Italian jurisdiction.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At precisely 7:00 a.m. on Thursday, the Italian Agency of Customs and Monopolies (ADM) activated a total of 52 new online gambling licenses. The rollout experienced a slight delay due to last-minute technical adjustments by engineers, but ADM characterized the transition as a \u201cseamless and decisive reset\u201d for the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, the updated regulatory framework resulted in the immediate closure of numerous websites, as the new rules eliminate the practice of multiple skins under a single license. Operators are now required to utilize a single domain per license, thereby discontinuing previous multi-site arrangements. While 52 licenses were issued, only 46 operators are presently active, given that several firms possess multiple licenses. Each license involved a fee of \u20ac7 million, contributing a total of \u20ac364 million to the Italian treasury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new regime introduces enhanced compliance obligations and fortified safeguards for consumers. All users are mandated to register via Italy\u2019s SPID digital identity system or an electronic ID card, significantly improving verification processes. Additionally, mandatory self-exclusion mechanisms and expenditure limits remain integral components of the regulatory environment, fostering a more secure and controlled gambling experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/igamingeuropa.com\/bc-game-wins-best-crypto-casino-at-sigma-central-europe-awards-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BC.GAME Wins \u201cBest Crypto Casino\u201d at SiGMA Central Europe Awards 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to recent figures, Italy\u2019s online gambling market generated approximately \u20ac5 billion in wagers last year, positioning it as the second-largest market in Europe following the United Kingdom. Revenue from these activities reached \u20ac3.8 billion, with tax contributions to the government totaling \u20ac1.1 billion. However, the landscape has seen notable shifts as several prominent operators, including Betway and Unibet, opted not to pursue new licenses, thereby reducing the presence of international giants in the nation. Looking ahead, the Italian government has outlined plans for further reforms in 2026. These initiatives aim to modernize the terrestrial gaming sector and revisit the 2018 Dignity Decree, which imposed restrictions on advertising practices within the industry. <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\">Italy Gambling Licensing<\/mark><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italy has officially introduced a revamped licensing regime for online gambling, signifying a pivotal development in one of Europe&#8217;s most prominent gaming markets.
