ITALY BLOCKS MORE ONLINE GAMBLING SITES
Despite threats of legal action, the ban stays
The Italian gambling authority AAMS appears to be sticking to its guns
on the question of requiring national ISPs to ban specific online gambling
sites from Italian access.
The latest 35 entry ban list issued to ISPs by the body reportedly includes many
of the big names in British and international internet gambling together with
two Italian (.it) sites Expekt.it and Delicato.it, allegedly because
these were not complying with local rules.
The total number of websites to which players in Italy are now denied access is
around 586.
The new list comes at a time when the EU Commission has just extended by three
months the deadline given to Finland to justify its state gaming monopoly following
a protest from the Ladbrokes group.
