Il gaming sector It is undoubtedly one of the most important in our country, since many different jobs depend on it, but also a percentage of the national GDP. This is why the challenge that successive governments have had to face in recent years has not been at all simple.
The concomitant objectives were: to safeguard the sector and protect the health of the citizen. The improvement of the connection, the diffusion of mobile devices and the great offer of digital games have made, in fact, much easier than in the past to access entertainment online.
The growth of this trend also brings with it numerous risks, especially when users of the services do not consciously choose the portals on which to play.
Therefore, this year too, several strategies have been developed aimed, on the one hand, at promote legal gambling and, on the other hand, to protect the citizen with very specific directives. First of all, it has been established that the awarding of concessions occurs through a call for tenders that will lead to the release of 50 concessions at a cost of 7 billion euros.
Operators are then asked to subtract a 3% share from their net profit to pay the annual fee and another 0,2% to invest in the promotion of campaigns focused on responsible gamingThe concession will then have a duration of 9 years.
Another novelty concerns the Affiliate Sites Limitation to the main operators, which until recently was very flexible. The aim now is to ensure that the license is not transferable by the main site. Therefore, each dealer will also have its own platform and its own game account system.
Again, the most authoritative AAMS casino, that is, those who have a certification issued by the State, are called to support the players also in other ways, for example by giving them the possibility of set a budget not to be exceeded or by sending notifications about the duration of the game session.
Furthermore, the Recharge Points of Sale will have a separate register and will have to pay a fee annual fee of 100 euros. Players should also know, however, that it will no longer be possible to collect winnings or make weekly top-ups above 100 euros on your gaming account. All those that go beyond this amount, in fact, must be made with traceable tools electronically.
These are measures that aim to combat illegal gambling, but also to further strengthen authorised gambling.
