Italy Awards Online Gambling Concessions… Finally

has finally granted the concessions for the provision of online gambling services in the county after a lengthy process marred by multiple delays

The Italian gambling authority, Agenzia delle dogane e dei monopoli (ADM), released yesterday the list of the approved candidates that will be allowed to operate in the local market. Their licenses will be valid through December 31, 2022.

The list includes local gambling operator Lottomatica as well as the local subsidiaries of major international companies such as bet365, The Stars Group, and GVC Holdings, among others.

ADM has awarded as many as 66 concessions. It has also issued licenses to four other companies but will treat them with reserves for reasons it said it would communicate to the licensees themselves. Those four companies are Scommetendo SRL, Spati SRL, Sogno Di Tolosa, and Universal Solutions SRL, known to be the owner of the Betium online gambling brand.

Rabbit Entertainment Ltd (owner of Lapalingo and Lord Lucky Casino), Lottomatrix Operations Limited, Piper Limited, and Betclic Limited were among the aaplicants that were not awarded a concession or had withdrawn their application to participate in Italy’s online gambling market.
