All operators that serve Italian players must obtain licenses by the end of 2025, according to the Customs and Monopolies Agency (ADM), which has launched the application process. Applications must be submitted by May 30, 2025.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Stringent Licensing Costs and Requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The updated framework imposes a significant financial commitment on operators. Each license costs \u20ac7 million (US$7.3 million), with \u20ac4 million (US$4.17 million) due upfront. The remaining \u20ac3 million (US$3.13 million) must be paid before launching under the new system.<\/p>\n<p>License holders will also face a 3% annual tax on revenue and a smaller levy for anti-corruption efforts. Additionally, operators must guarantee at least \u20ac3.7 million (US$3.86 million) annually in revenue-based tax contributions.<\/p>\n<p>To qualify, applicants must meet strict eligibility criteria, including demonstrating \u20ac3 million in annual revenue for the past two years. ADM aims to issue about 50 licenses, expecting to generate \u20ac350 million through application fees. Corporate applicants can streamline operations by applying for up to five licenses.<\/p>\n<p>This licensing initiative is just the beginning of Italy\u2019s most extensive gambling reform since 2011. The next phase, set for 2024, will address land-based casino regulations and work towards unified national gambling laws. Key discussions will include revisiting the 2019 gambling advertising ban and resolving inconsistencies in regional rules.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Mirax Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mirax-Casino.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Mirax Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mirax Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
