'NIENTE' SAY UK ONLINE GAMBLING GROUPS
Italian moves to curtail online gambling criticised
The Italian government could be faced with some tough opposition to its recent decision to clamp down on online gambling through internet service providers (ISPs) judging by the hostile reaction to the announcement by major UK online gambling groups who are members of the Remote Gambling Association (RGA)
The Register reports this week that UK gaming companies are threatening to take legal action against Italian regulators unless they reverse recent changes which outlaw access to gaming sites outside Italy.
Italy's Ministry of Economy and Finance recently unveiled a law threatening to fine any Italian ISP which allows access to a list of gambling sites.
Last November the RGA pushed out a press release objecting to the at that time proposed changes, which are claimed to breach five categories of EC rules. Since then individual members of the RGA have been developing a dialogue with the Italians in attempts to head off a confrontation and possible legal action, but the RGA is likely to review its options at the end of this month following the latest Italian moves.
