The rule in Italy

Regulator, licensing and what it means for payments

Italy licenses online gambling through ADM, and its new concessions went live on November 13, 2025, with 46 operators holding 52 of them and each concession limited to a single website. Each one runs 9 years and cost EUR7m, EUR4m up front and EUR3m on full deployment, against ongoing duty of 24.5% of GGR on betting and 25.5% on casino plus a 3% annual fee on net revenue. ADM and the state tech agency SOGEI block unlicensed domains automatically and have added more than 12,000 sites to the blacklist since 2019. A EUR100 weekly cap on cash top-ups at retail points of sale pushes players who pay cash toward traceable rails.
