Mens jeg gennemsøgte Casino Guru News, afsnittet "Love og bestemmelser", stødte jeg på en artikel, der skildrede ændringer i Italien. Da det er et af de største spillemarkeder i Europa, tænkte jeg, at visse punkter kunne være interessante, ikke kun for lokale spillere. 🤔
Disse punkter synes værd at dele:
👑Italien følger Storbritannien , når det kommer til ændringer inden for gambling-sektoren. For flere år siden annoncerede den britiske regering en revision af 2005 Gambling Act. Dette markerede den første større gennemgang af spillelovgivningen i landet i mere end et årti. Processen var lang, og efter mange forsinkelser og brudte deadlines ankom hvidbogen om revisionen af hovedspilleloven i april.
🚀Sidste uge fik reorganiseringsdekretet yderligere indpas. Alligevel er det op til lovgiverne at give grønt lys og godkende de diskuterede regler. Tidlige forventninger forudsiger, at koncessioner under de nye regler forventes tildelt ved udgangen af dette år.
🛑 Indsatsen mod ansvarligt spil forventes at omfatte muligheder for selvudelukkelse fra aktiviteten. Desuden vil italienske kunder, der bruger licenserede iGaming-operatører, blive underlagt advarende meddelelser og vil have mulighed for at få adgang til en bred vifte af ansvarlige gambling-værktøjer såsom indskuds-, indsats- eller tabsgrænser, blandt andre.
💲En stor del af forandringen for iGaming-markedet i Italien involverer licenser til spiloperatørerne. I henhold til dekretet vil virksomheder, der er interesserede i at tilbyde online gambling-tjenester til kunder i landet, blive underlagt et gebyr på 7 mio. EUR (7,6 mio. USD), som vil give dem tilladelse til at operere i landet. Sidste gang dette særlige licensgebyr blev ændret var tilbage i 2018. På det tidspunkt var gebyret sat til €200.000 ($218.300). Det betyder ellers, at gebyret for iGaming-operatører under det nye dekret ville stige med mere end 30 gange.

Personligt lyder tanken om at følge UKGC-tilgangen god for mig.
Jeg håber bare, at vi ikke bliver vidne til den samme bivirkning. Desværre bliver alt for mange britiske spillere udelukket fra UKGC-kasinoer gennem GAMSTOP ved med at spille på uregulerede kasinoer med et forfærdeligt ry i disse dage.
Anyway, hvad synes du om dette trin?
While browsing Casino Guru News, section "Laws and Regulations," I came across an article picturing changes in Italy. Since it's one of the largest gambling markets in Europe, I thought certain points might be interesting, not only for local players. 🤔
These points seem worth sharing:
👑Italy follows the UK when it comes to changes within the gambling sector. Several years ago, the UK government announced a review of the 2005 Gambling Act. This marked the first major review of the gambling laws in the country for more than a decade. The process was long and after many delays and broken deadlines, the White Paper of the review of the main gambling law arrived in April.
🚀Last week, the Reorganization Decree gained further traction. Still, it is up to the lawmakers to give the green light and approve the discussed regulations. Early expectations predict that concessions under the new rules are expected to be awarded by the end of this year.
🛑The efforts toward responsible gambling are expected to include options for self-exclusion from the activity. Moreover, Italian customers who use licensed iGaming operators would be subject to cautionary messages and will have the option to access a wide range of responsible gambling tools such as deposit, wager or loss limits, among others.
💲A major part of the change for the iGaming market in Italy involves licensing for the gambling operators. Under the Decree, companies interested in offering online gambling services to customers in the country would be subject to a €7m ($7.6m) fee that would authorize them to operate in the country. The last time this particular license fee changed was back in 2018. At the time, the fee was set to €200,000 ($218,300). This otherwise means that the fee for iGaming operators under the new Decree would go up by more than 30 times.

Personally, the idea of following the UKGC approach sounds good to me.
I just hope we will not witness the very same side effect. Sadly, far too many UK players excluded from UKGC casinos through GAMSTOP keep playing in unregulated casinos with a terrible reputation these days.
Anyway, what do you think about this step?
