The launch of Italy’s new framework for online gambling concessions has entered its final legislative procedure under the supervision of the European Commission (EC).

Recent proceedings saw the EC launch an open consultation on the technical rules of Italy’s new gambling licensing regime.

As a member of the European Union (EU), Italy must notify the EC of any legislative projects and amendments that modify its domestic market and competition rules.

While gambling laws and practices are under the jurisdiction of individual EU member states, the EC’s consultation aims to gather feedback on how the new licensing regime will impact Italy’s IT sector.
