Italy misses deadline to reform land-based gambling rules
Italy's government reached 29 August 2026 without approving the delegated decree to reorganise land-based public gambling, according to the report. The online sector has received new rules, but retail betting, gaming machines, bingo halls and other physical venues remain under fragmented rules and extensions. The article says a new legislative basis would be needed to restart the reform and notes that several concession periods expire on 31 December 2026.
Operators with physical-gambling concessions face continued regulatory uncertainty as existing concessions approach expiry.
