On August 5, 2026, Italy's Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM) published version 3.1.0 of the communication protocol for games of skill, fixed-odds games of chance, and card games organised in formats other than tournaments. The updated protocol establishes the technical communication standards that operators must adopt when offering games of skill, fixed-odds games of chance, and card games in non-tournament formats with remote participation. This protocol update reflects ADM's ongoing efforts to standardise operator reporting and communication procedures within Italy's regulated gaming market. The new version 3.1.0 supersedes previous iterations and provides operators with revised technical specifications for compliance with Italian gaming regulations. Operators offering these game categories with remote participation must implement the communication protocol according to the specifications outlined in version 3.1.0. The protocol governs how operators must transmit data and communications to ADM regarding their gaming activities, ensuring consistency and regulatory oversight across the Italian gaming sector. This update applies to all licensed operators conducting games of skill, fixed-odds games of chance, and card games in non-tournament formats. Operators should review the updated protocol documentation and implement the necessary technical changes to ensure compliance. The protocol is effective immediately upon publication. **Reference:** Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM) – Protocollo di comunicazione per giochi di abilità, giochi di sorte a quota fissa e giochi di carte organizzati in forma diversa dal torneo PGDA versione 3.1.0 (August 5, 2026)
