The Italian government has addressed Malta's concerns over its forthcoming gaming bill by rebutting its complaints and saying it will proceed with further concessions over the next several weeks. The administration maintains that the new law combines current laws to clarify technical standards and expectations and fully follows EU principles.

The Reorganisation Decree is the first regulatory review of the country's gambling legislation since online gambling was legalized in 2011. New laws that aim to simplify licensing procedures, prevent illegal activity, protect players (especially minors), and raise more money for government programs and social initiatives will significantly change Italy's gambling scene.
