Agency ready to govern Italy’s reawakened online gambling market

ADM, Italy’s Customs and Monopolies Agency, has extended the deadline to end its tender operations and checks of new online gambling concessions, pushing the closing date from 17 September to 12 November 2025.

The decision was taken to allow ADM agents to manage the ‘procedural complexity’ of the tender process, citing the need for extensive documentation and eligibility checks on applicants seeking to operate under Italy’s new gambling regime.

Providing an update, the ADM confirmed that it has received 52 applications from 46 companies. The licensing stage alone has generated €365m in direct revenue for the ADM, comfortably surpassing the Ministry of Economy’s (MEF) original target of €300–350m.
