On August 5, 2026, the Agenzia delle dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM), Italy's Customs and Monopolies Agency, published version 3.0 of the communication protocol for sports betting in retail outlets (Protocollo di comunicazione per le scommesse in ricevitoria PSR versione 3.0). The updated protocol establishes technical and operational standards for communication between sports betting retail operators and ADM systems. This protocol governs how licensed betting shops (ricevitorie) transmit data and interact with regulatory infrastructure, ensuring standardised reporting and compliance with Italian gambling regulations. The protocol applies to all retail betting operators licensed to offer sports betting services through physical retail locations in Italy. Version 3.0 represents an update to the existing communication framework, reflecting evolving regulatory requirements and technological advancements in the Italian gambling sector. The publication of this updated protocol ensures that retail betting operators have current guidance on data transmission, system integration, and reporting obligations. Retail sports betting operators should review the protocol documentation to ensure their systems comply with version 3.0 requirements. Operators must update their technical infrastructure and communication procedures accordingly to maintain compliance with ADM regulations. Any implementation questions or technical clarifications should be directed to ADM through official channels.
