ADM warns illegal gambling and addiction are linked in Italy
Italy’s ADM gambling director Mario Lollobrigida said illegal gambling and gambling addiction are often connected during a presentation of a 2025 sector study. He said illegal operators can target minors without requiring identification and argued that existing website-blocking measures are insufficient because mirror sites can bypass them. ADM wants additional tools and continued oversight of land-based gambling.
ADM’s proposed stronger controls could affect operators, players and prediction-market access in Italy.
