Italy Launches Multiple Site Self-Exclusion List

Italian gaming regulators have introduced a nationwide self-exclusion register that will allow gamblers to fill out a single online form to bar themselves from accessing Italian-licensed online gambling sites. Players had to previously join self-exclusion lists at each individual site.

Problem gamblers in Italy can bow exclude themselves from all Italian licensed online gambling sites by joining one simple list.

Italian gaming regulator AAMS announced the rollout of a nationwide self-exclusion register that will allow gamblers to fill out a single online form to bar themselves from accessing Italian-licensed online gambling sites. The form is available through the regulator or at online sites.

Formerly, players had to join self-exclusion lists at each individual site. Once players have filled out the form the online operator will have to immediately close the player’s account and forward the exclusion request to the central registry. All other Italian licensees must then bar the player from their sites. Players have the option of excluding themselves on a permanent basis or for a six-month period.
