AGIC: The Public Gaming Industry Between New Regulations and the Market
The reorganization of the licensed public gaming sector, as envisaged under the fiscal delegation law, represents a strategic step for the entire industry. AGIC reaffirms its willingness to contribute constructively to the institutional dialogue, so that the reorganization of the retail segment can, within the timeframe set by the enabling law, result in a stable, effective, and modern regulatory framework geared toward the long-term sustainability of the licensed public gaming system.
I-Com, Schettino (AGIC): “Illegal market increasingly aggressive. Speed up the reorganization and keep the 80 million in the Budget intact.”
“We are not operating within a perfectly sealed perimeter. The external variable is the aggressiveness of the illegal market, driven by technological evolution, which is increasingly penetrating the legal market.”
This was underlined by Gennaro Schettino, president of AGIC, during the I-Com conference.
