Italy: ADM lists 46 operators eligible for online gaming next steps
Any operator not listed should be considered excluded from the process, as Italy works to redevelop its gaming regulation.
Key points:
– The Italian Customs and Monopolies Agency (ADM) has released a list of 46 operators eligable for the next step in receiving a remote gaming licence
– The move comes as a new framework intends to overhaul current gaming regulation
– Names on the list include LeoVegas, Snaitech, Sisal and Stake
The Italian Customs and Monopolies Agency (ADM), and more specifically the Games Directorate – Remote Gaming and Betting Office, has released a list of operators who have been accepted to proceed to the next stages of receiving a remote gaming licence in Italy.
In total, 46 operators were listed. These included Admiral Sport, Betfair Italia, Greentube, LeoVegas, Snaitech, Sisal and more. All other operators on the list are considered excluded from the process.
The procedure to offer remote gaming was first put into place on 25 March 2024 with Article 6 of the legislative decree. The document listing the passing operators was signed by Antonio Giuliani, Head of the ADM’s online office.
Once the new framework is approved, it will overhaul the current Italian gaming regulation.
Notable names on the list of passing operators include Snaitech and Sisal, both of which are owned by global sports betting operator Flutter. Snaitech was acquired in April following a €2.3bn deal with Playtech, while Sisal had been in the running to acquire Italy’s national lottery licence – something that was protested locally out of fear of online gaming cross-selling with Snaitech.
Good to know: Stake Italia also made its way onto the list, despite its recent ban in the UK
Absent is Brightstar Lottery (formerly IGT), which secured the Italian Lottery licence in May.
The operator will hold the national lottery licence until 2034, and does so in a consortium that also includes Allwyn, Arianna 2001 and Novomatic Italia – names that also do not appear on the list, as they are focused on lottery.
