On August 5, 2026, the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM), Italy's Customs and Monopolies Agency, published version 2.0 of the Protocollo di comunicazione per le scommesse concorsi pronostici (PSCP), the communication protocol for sports betting and forecasting contests. The PSCP establishes standardised technical and operational procedures for communications between licensed operators and the ADM regarding sports betting activities and related contest operations. Version 2.0 represents an update to the existing protocol framework, incorporating refinements to ensure continued alignment with Italy's regulatory requirements for the sports betting and gaming sector. The protocol applies to all operators licensed to offer sports betting and forecasting contest services in Italy. It sets out the technical specifications, data formats, and reporting requirements that operators must follow when communicating with the ADM, ensuring consistency and compliance across the regulated market. The publication of version 2.0 reflects the ADM's ongoing commitment to maintaining robust regulatory oversight of Italy's sports betting market through standardised communication procedures. Operators are required to implement the updated protocol in their systems and operations in accordance with the ADM's implementation timeline and guidance. The full protocol document is available on the ADM website.
