Italy’s Council of State order on Bingo extensions enters EU procedures list
Italy’s Senate published a Council of State order concerning gambling concessions, including Bingo operations, in a list of judicial and pre-litigation procedures with the EU. The order examines whether automatic extensions, increased concession fees and restrictions on transferring premises comply with EU principles on proportionality and competition.
The order raises questions about concession-extension terms that can affect Bingo operators’ costs and eligibility for future tenders.
