Predictions 2010: Italy Edition

The European gambling market on the whole is going to increase greatly over the coming year if current gaming trends are any indication of the strong growing acceptance for these markets. Online casinos have become a widespread stable of the international land and internet gambling industry and several key European countries are looking at expansion within this market for the first time. Within Italy, although the online casinos are not specifically on the plan for 2010, the internet poker industry is in the works. In fact, internet poker sites are in the process of obtaining Italian licensing right at this moment, and the consensus seems to agree that a full Italian poker market will emerge in the first half of the year.

It’s interesting to note that the Italian government has a strong aversion to online casinos in particular. The internet poker industry has escaped mostly unscathed and is not counted as a game of chance, but chance gaming is still out. With internet poker hitting the market in full force this year gamblers can anticipate a huge surge in the revenue and gaming coming out of the country. Expansions in Italian betting was incredibly well received throughout 2009 and the same type of growth and interest is expected to take hold for internet poker.

Beyond the internet poker industry though, analysts predict that the online gambling market in Italy will see strong overall growth within all of the various sectors. Unlike many restrictive countries operating internet gambling in the EU, Italy is essentially clear with the European Commission because the country has a fair licensing structure and allows foreign competition into the market, this will continue throughout 2010.
