Big names like Betfair, Sisal, Snaitech, bet365, Marathonbet, William Hill, and LeoVegas made the list. Several of these are under Flutter Entertainment, which also owns FanDuel. Flutter recently expanded further in Italy by acquiring Snaitech in April.<\/p>\n<p>Under the new licensing regime, every vertical\u2014whether sports betting or online casino\u2014must pay a \u20ac7 million fee to the Ministry of Economy. That means the government will bring in \u20ac322 million once all 46 operators submit their payments. Under the old rules, the same group of applicants would have only generated around \u20ac9.2 million in fees. The jump is massive, and some believe it could squeeze out smaller competitors.<\/p>\n<p>The ADM plans to complete its final checks on all approved operators by September, when licenses will officially be granted. From that point, companies have six months to get ready for launch. Operators currently active under the old licensing framework will be allowed to operate until March 2026. After that, only newly approved entities can legally offer gambling services.<\/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\/7-bit-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"7Bit Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/7BitCasino.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\/7-bit-casino\/\" title=\"7Bit Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">7Bit 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>177% up to 5BTC + 77 <strong>\u00a0Free Spins<\/strong>!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.

An additional 3% annual GGR payment is also required. All operators must also spend at least 0.2% of annual revenue\u2014and up to a maximum of \u20ac1 million\u2014on responsible gambling programs.<\/p>\n<p>The reforms go beyond licensing and taxes. Italy is now reconsidering rules from the 2018 Dignity Decree, which banned gambling ads entirely. A new committee is working with Serie A, Italy\u2019s Olympic Committee, and media outlets to rethink gambling sponsorship and advertising deals. These talks could open the door for new, regulated marketing opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Operators will also have to step up their <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/responsible-gaming\/\">responsible gaming<\/a> efforts. New platforms will be required to offer tools like deposit caps, self-exclusion options, and limits on session times to reduce harm and promote safer gambling behavior.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/adm-approves-46-operators-as-italy-reworks-licensing\/\">ADM Approves 46 Operators as Italy Reworks Licensing<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/\">iGaming.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italy is overhauling how it handles online gambling, bringing in new rules, higher costs, and stricter oversight.
