The offer of games to Italian residents can be performed only by operators holding an Italian gaming license. The breach of this obligation by operators and companies advertising non-licensed operators is punished with criminal sanctions. Also, since 2007 Italian ISPs are obliged to block the access by Italian residents to non-licensed gaming websites that are included in a blacklist which is updated on a monthly basis.
However, players and operators have found means able to circumvent the block implemented by ISPs. This has led to considerable complaints by licensed operators which are suffering damages because of non-licensed operators. As a consequence, the Italian Gaming Authority has now announced that it will implement stricter measures against non-licensed gaming operators.
We’ll see whether these new measures will encourage most of the operators to abide with local gaming laws and apply for an Italian license.
