🇮🇹 Italy Cuts Gambling Operators
Italy is reducing the number of gambling operators from 81 companies to around 33, following a drop in applicationsfrom 93 to about 50 .
Many smaller companies decided not to apply because of several reasons:
➡️ A new €7M upfront licensing fee (up from €250K).
➡️ Taxes increased: 24.5% on sportsbook revenues and 25.5% on online casino revenues.
➡️ Annual fees: 3% of operators' gross gaming revenue.
And this is not even the end.
Operators must allocate 0.2% of their revenue (up to €1M) to responsible gambling initiatives, offering deposit limits, spending limits, and self-exclusion options.
Experts say Italy’s goal is clear: fewer, stronger gambling companies to ensure safer gaming for everyone.

Anjouan Gaming now requires all B2B service providers—including platform providers, game developers, payment processors, and other critical service suppliers—to be licensed or formally recognized in order to work with our B2C operators.
How will it work?
For now - our team believes nothing changes for B2C operators.
In the future - probably Anjouan will have audits or will begin requiring additional documents/agreement for every partner B2C operator works with. And if such agreement is not with licensed service provider- they will do some actions. (?)
OR
For every new b2c license application Anjouan will ask for agreement which must be with recognized B2B provider.
Additional comments:
It’s definitely the move to be more recognized and it will work 100%. Mainly because of 850+ operators (and even more domains) under Anjouan.
Expected delays (?):
Also, it may be the reason of delays with new licenses. If you have agreement with unrecognized B2B provider, big one, and Anjouan doesn’t allow the application to proceed to the next step, then the applicant either will start pushing B2B provider or will change to recognized provider. Such change will take time as well as authorization for B2B provider.
What will be the next move of B2B service providers and Anjouan Team? 🤔
If you have questions - leave them in a comment or text @MGL_solutions for details
