The Remote Gaming and Betting Office within the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM) has instructed successful applicants from the recent licensing tender to formally declare the URL that will serve as their sole business-to-consumer (B2C) site. The notice, signed by Antonio Giuliani, sets a compliance deadline of November 13 for operators to report their chosen domain and to deactivate all other domain names, mirror sites and skins tied to the principal site. Operators must also collaborate with internet service providers to remove redundant entries from DNS records.
The directive is a central plank of Italy’s revamped online gambling licensing regime, which awarded nine-year licences to 46 operators covering 52 brands under the tender. The ADM has signalled that Lotto, Scratch & Win and SuperEnalotto concessionaires will be authorised by November 7 to operate on behalf of newly licensed online operators, further consolidating regulated distribution channels.
