Italian MP Saverio Congedo says restricting legal gambling may fuel illegal activity
Italian MP Saverio Congedo argued at the ACADI 2026 Forum that restricting legal gambling could weaken the regulated system and direct some demand towards uncontrolled channels, according to the report. He called for further legal streamlining and a more consistent framework between national and local authorities.
The remarks underline policy concerns about how restrictions on licensed gambling may affect regulated operators and illegal-market activity.
