ADM sets 16 March start for Italy’s PSQF 5.0 betting protocol
Italy’s Customs and Monopolies Agency (ADM) has published the final PSQF 5.0 communications protocol for fixed-odds sports betting concessionaires. The protocol and its additional-information document are scheduled to enter production on 16 March 2026, when concessionaires must use the specified messages and technical standards. Existing operating procedures remain in place for concessionaires already handling retail and online betting until any transition to the new system.
Concessionaires must adapt their technical communications to the new fixed-odds betting protocol from its production start.
