Italy development will allow Betfair expansion
The company looks forward to working with the Italian authorities to obtain this authorisation over the coming months and become fully operational on betfair.it.
Martin Cruddace, Betfair's Chief Legal and regulatory affairs officer, commented: "This decree signifies the positive ongoing development of online gambling regulation in Italy and demonstrates that the Italian authorities have full confidence that the introduction of betting exchanges will be a good move for both consumers and the betting market in general."
He added: "International expansion is a key element of the company's current growth strategy and our ability to license our core exchange product in a market as significant as Italy is hugely important for us."
The Ministerial Decree will now be reviewed by the European Commission, after which it will be returned to the Italian Ministry of Finance for signing, following which it will enter into force.
