Italy rules out changing retail gambling distance limits in reform decree
Undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano said the Italian government would not amend rules on minimum distances between gambling outlets and sensitive locations as part of its retail gambling reform. He said a decree could still go before the Council of Ministers, while the Economy Ministry’s technical offices have argued that revising the distance rules would help enable new tender procedures.
Operators planning retail locations and prospective tender participants face unchanged distance rules under the stated government position.
