ADM maintains ban on online gambling access devices in Italian venues
Italy’s Customs and Monopolies Agency (ADM) told its regional offices that devices giving direct access to online gambling remain prohibited in public venues. The guidance follows a Constitutional Court ruling against an absolute ban imposed by the 2012 Balduzzi Decree; ADM said existing concessions prohibit such devices and violations can lead to automatic loss of a concession.
Operators and venue partners risk losing a concession if they facilitate online gambling through prohibited devices.
