Italy licensed gambling sites: how to use the ADM register

An Italian remote-gambling check starts with evidence from the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli. On 26 September 2026, Atlas reconciled the entity, concession and domain fields in complete indexed copies of ADM's official tables. Direct access returned 403, so this review records the indexed snapshot and its limits. A brand search alone misses the legal entity and concession code.

For example, the checked snapshot connects www.bet365.it to concession 16030 and Hillside (New Media Malta) Plc. It connects www.pokerstars.it to concession 16023 and TSG Italy Srl. The consumer names are familiar, but neither brand name is the complete legal record. The practical check is the whole chain: Italy, legal entity, concession code and exact domain.

The ADM page is titled Elenco dei concessionari autorizzati al gioco a distanza: list of concessionaires authorised for remote gambling. Its visible fields provide a concession identifier, the concessionaire name and the website through which the relationship is presented. That makes it a strong first-party source for confirming that a specific Italian consumer domain is attached to a named concessionaire on the date checked.

The page does not turn a marketing label into a legal entity, and the compact row should not be stretched beyond the fields it shows. In particular, the presence of a domain does not, on its own, document every game vertical, app, subdomain or product marketed by the wider international group. A precise statement should quote the relationship actually visible in the record.

The concessionaire is the legal person named by ADM. The concession code identifies a regulatory record. The brand is the consumer-facing name. The domain is the address a player visits. They may resemble one another, but they are not interchangeable database fields.

Sisal is a relatively intuitive example because the brand and company name remain recognisable: Sisal Italia S.p.a. is shown with www.sisal.it. Bet365 is less intuitive because Hillside (New Media Malta) Plc is the named concessionaire. PokerStars is connected to TSG Italy Srl. A licence check that records only Bet365 or PokerStars cannot be reproduced against the register without the entity and domain.

The checked snapshot shows why counting brands, domains, entities and concession codes produces different totals. Eurobet Italia S.r.l. Unipersonale appears with eurobet.it and bwin.it under separate concession codes. GBO Italy appears with goldbet.it and lottomatica.it. One legal organisation can therefore account for more than one consumer address and concession row.

This is not a technical footnote. A list that deduplicates by entity answers how many concessionaires it has observed. A list that counts register rows answers how many concession-code relationships it has observed. A consumer directory may instead count brands or domains. Atlas keeps those grains separate so a plausible number does not become a false market statistic.

The useful data model behind the register is a set of relationships: jurisdiction to concession, concession to entity and record to domain. Brands can then be mapped as a separate editorial layer. This explains why an operator profile and an official ADM row may use different names without necessarily conflicting.

The September reconciliation covered every concession code from 16000 through 16051 by combining complete ascending and descending ADM table snapshots and removing duplicate codes. That gives 52 concession rows. The indexed row for codere.it names Codere.it S.r.l., concession 16018; the older Atlas label Codere Scommesse S.r.l. should not be carried forward as the current holder. The count must not be presented as 52 unique companies or brands.

Article 6 of Legislative Decree 41/2024 places remote cash-prize games within the state concession system. Its categories include sports and horse betting, card and skill games, fixed-odds chance games, exchange betting and bingo. Paragraph 4 provides a separate authorisation route for remote collection of number games and lotteries. The official legal text was checked for this review.

That framework does not mean every listed concessionaire offers or is authorised for every listed product. The concise concessionaire table used in this guide does not expose a product-by-product permission column. Product claims should therefore be supported by the relevant concession, game or collection-channel evidence rather than inferred from the brand's navigation menu or from its activity in another country.

Begin with the exact address in the browser, including the top-level domain. Open the current ADM authorised-concessionaire list and find that domain. In the same row, capture the legal concessionaire and concession code. Then compare those fields with the operator's legal disclosure and with any product-specific evidence required for the activity being checked.

Record both the review date and how the evidence was obtained. An indexed copy can support the fields it contains, but it may lag a live change; label it as a snapshot and retain any crawl information. If the domain differs, do not borrow the Italian authorisation for an international, mirror or lookalike site. An entity match alone is incomplete.

ADM publishes a separate page for gambling websites subject to access blocking under article 102 of Decree-Law 104/2020. The August review recorded measure 00540333 of 5 August 2026 and a replacement list valid from 20 August. Those are historical file dates, not the latest blacklist certification. The indexed notice checked on 26 September describes the redirect endpoint introduced in April 2026 and an extension keeping both redirect methods operational during transition; the complete current blacklist was not downloaded in this review.

That enforcement list should not be merged casually with the concessionaire directory. The authorised list supplies positive evidence for the relationships it displays. The blocked list supplies evidence about sites in a specific enforcement process. Failure to find a domain in the first list is not proof that it appears in the second, and failure to see it in the blocked list is not proof of authorisation.

The August review recorded ADM's notice of 3 August 2026 activating a portal for complaints and reports about remote gambling. That notice was not rechecked in the September register reconciliation. It identifies a separate workflow beside the concessionaire directory and blocked-site file: a complaint does not establish that the named site is licensed or already sanctioned.

A useful escalation record should preserve the exact domain, concession code when found, legal concessionaire, disputed transaction or conduct, dates and prior contact with the operator. The licence check should still be completed independently against the current ADM directory.

A not-found result should name the searched dataset and its limits. No OlyBet consumer domain appeared among the 52 distinct concession rows recovered as complete normalized primary text on 25 October. Direct ADM access remained blocked, and no table edition or crawl date was supplied. This is a scoped register non-match, not proof that every service associated with the brand is unlawful in Italy or elsewhere.

Possible explanations include a spelling difference, a changed domain, a relationship recorded under another consumer address or a genuinely unsupported Italian offer. The correct next step is to inspect the exact legal disclosure, current ADM records and any relevant enforcement material. Uncertainty belongs in the result when the evidence chain is incomplete.

Use the Italy market profile to identify ADM and the official register, then open the linked operator profile only as a navigation aid. The primary evidence remains the live authority record. The Atlas licence-checking methodology explains how to retain jurisdiction, entity, brand, domain, product and licence as separate fields rather than compressing them into one licensed label.

For repeated research, the same structure supports change detection. A new concession code, renamed entity or changed domain can be compared field by field without rewriting unrelated product claims. It also allows corrections to target the exact relationship that changed.

How do I know if an online gambling site is legal in Italy? ADM's own FAQ directs users to the list of authorised remote-gaming concessionaires and collection channels. Match the exact domain, entity and concession, then verify the product scope required for the service.

Does an ADM-listed domain prove every casino or betting product? Not from the summary row alone. Is the brand always the licence holder? No; Bet365 and PokerStars show why the concessionaire can have another legal name. Is a site illegal because it is not found? The defensible conclusion is only that the searched domain was not found in the checked authorised list; use separate evidence for a broader legal or enforcement claim.

The 25 October scoped reread recovered 52 concession, entity and domain rows from three normalized official table pages. Origin HTTP success, source edition and crawl age were not supplied; direct ADM retrieval remained blocked. Seven Atlas relationship clocks were completed in that register review and a separate same-day review completed Codere. Further substantive product-source reviews now complete Bet365, bwin, Betsson, Stake Italy, Sisal and Planetwin365, taking the 25 October total to fourteen. Lottomatica’s separate relationship review was completed on 27 October after the current instant-lottery concessionaire’s authorised-retailer listing was recovered and joined to its ADM 16010 row and filled GBO contract. The separately dated legal, blacklist and complaints sources are not recertified by these product reviews.

A later concession award, transfer, revocation, domain change or enforcement update can alter the evidence. The current ADM record controls when it conflicts with this dated guide. Source-backed corrections can be submitted through the Atlas corrections process without payment or preferential treatment.

Codere’s general conditions, marked last updated 3 January 2026, were read as a complete normalized primary PDF text on 25 October. They identify Codere.it S.r.l. and concession 16018, with substantive sports-betting and casino provisions supporting the existing two product categories. Direct PDF access returned 503 and the normalized retrieval supplied no origin HTTP status or crawl date. No additional product category or concession term was established.

The newly recovered first-party bodies support only the existing selected products. Bet365 supplies a filled contract and substantive casino help/rules; bwin supplies football settlement rules and a live-dealer casino game table. Betsson terms/regulations and the PWO contract were recovered as HTTP 200 originals. Stake and Sisal contract/terms bodies were recovered as normalized primary text after direct 403 responses. Normalized copies do not establish a live origin fetch, current edition or crawl age, and a player-account contract does not supply an individual concession term.

Sisal’s retained lottery category has a separate regulator basis: ADM determination 294694 of 25 May 2026 identifies its GNTN concession under convention 447080/RU of 29 November 2021 in every form of participation. Its operative suspension affects the named Win for Life Grattacieli formula from 1 June 2026 for one year, not the whole GNTN concession. The marketing page still naming Grattacieli is not used to certify every advertised game. Lottomatica’s current GBO contract names concession 16010 and lottomatica.it. The 27 October review separately recovered Lotterie Nazionali’s authorised online-retailer page, whose included authored list names Lottomatica.it and links to the same consumer domain. That primary lottery-network listing supports the retained instant-lottery category; an individual ADM approval number or permission period is not inferred.
