ASCOB urges immediate measures for Italy’s bingo sector
ASCOB president Salvatore Barbieri called for immediate measures alongside Italy’s planned bingo reorganisation at the Italian Gaming Expo & Conference in Rome. He said the licensing process and launch of new concessions could take 18–20 months, and urged an operational discussion on measures already proposed, including electronic bingo in halls.
Operators face a potential 18–20-month wait for new concessions while seeking measures to address operating costs and regulatory uncertainty.
