Italian experts criticise proposed physical gambling reform over safeguards
Experts and consumer representatives criticised Italy’s proposed physical gambling reform at a Senate press conference initiated by Five Star Movement senator Dolores Bevilacqua. The draft remains under development and would require unanimous approval from the regions and ANCI at the Unified Conference; critics cited proposed 100-metre and 200-metre venue distances and limits on local opening-hour rules.
The proposals could change venue distances and reduce regional and municipal control over gambling opening hours.
