Regulation

Italy’s 2027 budget bill would place LAN gaming halls under ADM authorisation and taxation, while banning betting on site. It would require at least 20 stations and tax each on deemed annual income of €15,000, or €25,000 for large simulators; IIDEA has asked for the provision’s withdrawal, citing disproportionate costs.
