CGIA study puts Italy’s 2025 gambling spend at €21.9bn
A CGIA di Mestre study presented by researcher Andrea Vavolo put Italy’s 2025 gambling spend at €21.9bn, equal to 0.97% of GDP and 1.7% of household consumption. The analysis also found that 32% of the population, or about 16.6 million people, had participated in money gambling in 2024, while physical and online markets diverged.
The figures show operators and regulators how gambling participation and spending differ across Italy’s regions and channels.
