Agrigento court upholds ADM penalty over internet-point betting use

Enforcement & compliance

An Agrigento court rejected an appeal against an ADM penalty over a computer made available at an internet point and used to access online gambling sites. The court found that browsing capability alone did not make a computer an unlawful gaming machine, but its browsing history and visible betting links showed systematic gambling use and the proprietor’s awareness.

The ruling distinguishes lawful public internet access from computer use that can trigger operators’ administrative liability.
