Italy's online gambling licensees need to declare their principal domain for commercial activities by 13 November 2025, as the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM) enforces a key measure of the nation's reorganised online gambling program.
The direction, released by means of a brand-new circular by ADM's Remote Gaming and Betting Office, signed by Antonio Giuliani, mandates that all certified operators can just run under a single official website to ensure greater transparency and control of remote gaming activities.
Under the order, all successful concessionaires need to formally communicate the URL of their official website to the ADM by 31 October 2025, even if it is currently active. From mid-November, any other domain names, mirror sites or "skins" linked to a licensee's primary website should be shut down and removed from DNS records, in cooperation with Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
The ADM specified that the directive intends to end the expansion of several domains used by certified operators and strengthen the traceability of player activity, a core principle of Italy's freshly reorganized online routine.
Temporary redirects will be allowed just till 31 December 2025, and specifically for operators forming part of short-lived company consortiums (RTI) to ensure continuity for existing player accounts throughout the transition stage.
ADM warned that failure to adhere to the new provisions will lead to suspension of operations, while repeated violations might result in the cancellation of a concession.
Last month, that, as it stands, the company has actually released licences to 46 operators (both foreign and domestic), covering a total of 52 private concessions. The figure shows the first wave of approvals under the brand-new program, ahead of Italy's full market activation in 2026.
Among the principal objectives behind the reorganisation of Italy's online gaming sector has actually been to reduce the number of active brand names in the market and to eliminate "skin sites" that previously allowed operators to promote a singular item or vertical to customers.
Under the new guidelines, operators are restricted from operating secondary sites to market or promote product or services independently. Instead, each licence holder must market all betting activities under a single authorised domain, for instance Betfair.it, bet365.it, or Stake.it.
