According to latest data from H2 Gambling Capital, Italy’s total online gambling market gross gambling revenue (GGR) is expected to grow by more than 16% year-on-year in 2024 to $3.4 billion, with casino gaming GGR estimated to rise by 18% to $3.1bn over the same period, with Italy now the second largest European regulated iGaming market behind the UK.
Italy is currently in the midst of overhauling its regulatory regime for online gambling under the Italian government’s ‘Reorganization of Gambling’ decree, with licenses fees to operate online gambling in Italy increasing to €7m for a nine-year license, increasing from the previous price of €200,000, in force since 2018.
In addition, new technical requirements are set to be imposed on licensees, with platforms required to have player-imposed limits on gameplay, with licensees required to send warning messaging when limits are set to be breached. Italy’s regulator, the ADM is also to be given new powers to combat unlicensed online gambling.
