Is Sports Betting Legal in Italy?
Back in the early 2000s, Italy was still a country where the gaming industry market was not properly regulated. Thus people in the country were only allowed to place bets exclusively with state-owned monopoly operators while all other bookmakers, including international online bookmakers, were banned.
Since 2009 however, the state has finally properly regulated the market and now allows Italians to place sports bets online, including on international betting sites. The only obligatory condition for operators is that every bookmaker has an ADM license.
Many Italian bettors however, are also successfully betting on the Internet sites of offshore unlicensed online bookmakers.
To date, we have not heard of a single case where such players faced legal consequences for such betting as applied by the state.
Taxes
The state has been liberal in its treatment with regard to the taxation of players who use bookmakers and has not considered the issue of levying a tax on winnings. Thus Italian bettors are completely exempt from paying taxes to the state on their winnings.
According to some reports, up to 20% of adult Italians take part in sports betting at least once a month.
For what could be termed a "football country" this is a completely natural statistical figure.
First of all of course, in terms of popularity are bets on football, including those placed on matches in the Serie A which is the highest level national league of Italy.
Coming in second are bets placed on competitions in the following sports: tennis, basketball, volleyball, golf and cycling.
