ADM clarifies PVR registration, account-opening and information rules

Regulation

Italy’s Customs and Monopolies Agency (ADM) clarified rules for licensed online gambling concessionaires and recharge sales points (PVRs) at a meeting on 18 December. PVRs become active only after the retailer registers and the concessionaire records its contract; account opening requires a valid identity document, while informational material about opening and recharging accounts is not covered by the advertising ban.
