Italy's Council of Ministers approved the 2027 budget bill and the multi-year budget for 2027–2029 at a meeting on the afternoon of Wednesday 28 October 2026, according to the government's announcement. The approval opens the parliamentary stage of the budget process, and the Chamber and Senate must examine and approve the measures by the end of the year.

For the gambling sector, the content of the provisions in the approved text remains to be verified, with particular reference to any tax or regulatory measures concerning the sector. The set of measures will be established through examination of the articles and the accompanying technical reports.

The source gives no statement from the government, the companies or the regulators on the gambling provisions, and no appeal status. The next step is parliamentary examination and approval of the budget by the end of the year.
