About the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli
The Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM) is Italy's customs and monopolies agency. Gaming regulation was handled by the Amministrazione Autonoma dei Monopoli di Stato (AAMS) until it was merged into the customs agency on 1 December 2012 under Decree-Law 95/2012. ADM regulates and controls the gaming sector, collects gaming taxes and acts against illegal gambling.
Online gaming in Italy is a state reserve that private operators may run only under an ADM concession. Legislative Decree 41/2024 rebuilt the system: concessions now last nine years without renewal, cost 7 million euros each, are limited to five per corporate group and must use a single .it website owned by the concessionaire, which may not be made available to third parties, even within the same group. The new concessions took effect on 13 November 2025, with 52 concessions held by 46 operators.
For players, an ADM concession means age checks, deposit limits set according to approved protocols, self-limitation and self-exclusion tools, real-time spending messages, and a visible concession number with the ADM logo on the site. Formal complaints to concessionaires can be filed and tracked through ADM's Portale Segnalazioni.
To check a licence, look for the concession number and ADM logo on the site and compare it with the list of authorised remote gaming concessionaires on adm.gov.it. ADM and the Guardia di Finanza also keep a list of blocked illegal gaming sites.
