On Thursday, Italy’s Houses of Representatives approved a bill which will modify the current rules applied to gambling ads. Yet despite what media outlets reported earlier this month, Italy is not going to apply a ban on TV and radio gambling advertising.
The new law will not introduce a full ban, instead only adding some new limitations to gambling TV and radio ads. Furthermore, the new rules are not going to become immediately effective as the text approved only states guidelines for future gambling regulation to be translated into norms during 2014 by Italy’s government. Speaking on the issue, founder of European Gambling Lawyers and Advisors Giovanni Carboni told PokerNews that while Italy’s gambling situation remains uncertain, international operators should not worry about such a dramatic measure to be implemented in Italy, as the Parliament did not state that the country will ban gambling advertising anytime soon.
