Italian deputy says land-based gambling decree is due by August
Italian deputy Luciano Ciocchetti told the Chamber of Deputies that the government’s reorganisation of land-based gambling should be completed by August 2026. He said the planned decree needs to balance national rules with local authority powers, health protections and action against illegal gambling. Ciocchetti also called for coordinated rules on sensitive locations and distances, and for gambling businesses to work with health authorities on harm prevention.
Land-based operators may face coordinated location rules and cooperation with health authorities under Italy’s planned decree.
