Pedrizzi warns Italy’s gambling reform could lead to market oligopoly
At a 4 March conference in Rome, former senator Riccardo Pedrizzi warned that restrictive rules in Italy’s gambling reform could concentrate the market among a few large operators. He argued that the reform should clarify ministerial responsibilities and provide regulatory certainty; MP Andrea De Bertoldi said he had asked for structured consultation with operators on the proposed reorganisation.
The debate concerns how Italy’s gambling reform could affect operator competition and the structure of the licensed market.
