AGIC: The Public Gaming Industry Between New Regulations and the Market
Rome, January 15, 2025 – The reorganization of the legal gaming sector, provided for by Legislative Decree 41/2024, represents a crucial opportunity to define a stable and modern regulatory framework. It is essential that these measures be accompanied by dialogue between institutions and concessionaires to build a more sustainable future, where legality, security, and competitiveness can coexist for the best development of the legal gaming sector.
With this objective in mind, the event “The Gaming Industry Between New Regulations and the Market” was held this morning at the MoMeC (Montecitorio Meeting Centre), promoted by AGIC – the Concession-Based Entertainment Gaming Association – a member of Confindustria’s confederal system, which associates the four main legal gaming concessionaires: Brightstar Lottery (formerly IGT), Lottomatica, Sisal Italia, Snaitech. AGIC represents a total of about 6,000 employees, a market share of legal gaming of nearly 70%, and an overall network of about 60,000 points of sale across the country.
In addition to the companies associated with AGIC, the event was attended by the Director General of Confindustria, Dr. Maurizio Tarquini; the Director of Gaming of the Customs and Monopolies Agency, Mario Lollobrigida; Prof. Giuseppe Melis, Professor of Tax Law at LUISS; Prof. Gennaro Terracciano, Professor of Administrative and Public Law at Foro Italico University in Rome; and institutional representatives such as Hon.

Antonio Misiani, Vice-President of the Senate Budget Committee; and Hon.
