What the rule actually is in Italy
Our own reading, not a summary of someone else's
ADM-licensed, and 2026 completes the reset. The new nine-year concessions cost EUR7m each, 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; 46 operators cleared stage two of the tender. Enforcement is industrial, with ADM and the state tech agency SOGEI running automated domain blocking: more than 500 sites added in 2026 alone and over 12,000 since 2019. From May 2026 a EUR100 weekly cap on cash deposits at voucher shops pushes players toward traceable rails, which is the live pressure point for payment providers here.
How money actually moves
The rails players reach for, in the order that matters locally
- PostePaydominant
local cards
Poste Italiane prepaid card — single most-used instrument; deposit-only; needs PostePay/Poste support, not plain Visa.
- PayPalmajor
e-wallet
Very widely used; supports payouts.
- MyBankmajor
instant bank transfer
Italian SEPA bank-push; growing as the traceable alternative the cash cap favors.

Aggregated or indirect
4The rail is reachable, but through an aggregator, a local PSP or a wallet rather than directly.
Evidence grades run from named clients through platform catalogs and industry knowledge down to a provider's own claim. A claim we could not corroborate is still shown, labelled as what it is. See our methodology.
