On August 5, 2026, the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM), Italy's Customs and Monopolies Agency, published version 3.0 of the Protocol of Communication for Betting with Direct Interaction Between Players (PSID). The protocol establishes technical and operational standards for betting activities that involve direct interaction among players within Italy's regulated gambling framework. The PSID protocol version 3.0 represents an update to the communication standards governing peer-to-peer betting interactions. This protocol defines the specifications and requirements that licensed operators must implement to facilitate direct player-to-player betting activities while maintaining compliance with Italian gambling regulations. The update reflects ADM's ongoing effort to establish clear technical guidelines that enable operators to conduct interactive betting services in a controlled and transparent manner. The protocol applies to all licensed betting operators in Italy offering services that involve direct interaction between players. Operators must ensure their systems and communication infrastructure align with the technical specifications outlined in version 3.0 to maintain regulatory compliance and protect player interests through standardised operational procedures. The protocol document is available on the ADM website for operators to review and implement the updated technical requirements. Operators should assess their current systems against version 3.0 specifications to ensure full compliance with the new standards. **Reference:** Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM) - Protocollo di comunicazione per le scommesse con interazione diretta fra i giocatori PSID versione 3.0
