De Pasquale urges Italy’s gambling reform to recognise local measures
Marco De Pasquale of Avviso Pubblico’s Parliamentary Observatory said Italy’s planned gambling reform should take account of measures developed by regional and municipal authorities. He noted that the 2023 enabling law separated online reform, enacted in 2024, from the still-pending reform of land-based gambling, with the delegation extended to 29 August 2026. De Pasquale cited Veneto’s 400-metre buffer and three daily suspension periods as examples.
The proposed national framework could affect local restrictions on gambling venues and operating hours.
