Italy boasts a well-developed gambling industry, contributing approximately 80 billion euros annually to the national treasury through activities such as slot machines and other games. The country’s rich history in gambling dates back to 1638 with the establishment of the first casino, Ridotto. Although there have been attempts to ban casinos since 1923, today, legal gambling establishments operate freely in Italy in accordance with state legislation. Online clubs have also been permitted since 2010, with 20% of their profits contributed to the state.

As stated by Artem Ustinov, Head of White Label and Turnkey Solutions at SoftGamings: “SoftGamings recently received Italian certification, adding to its existing licenses in Malta, Curaçao, Greece, Belgium, Romania and other countries. By obtaining Italian B2B certification, SoftGamings’ brand companies now offer Italian B2B companies a seamless opportunity to collaborate. We provide them with a full range of profitable casino software solutions. This development not only strengthens our position in the European market, but also confirms our commitment to meeting the needs of Italian B2B companies in the iGambling industry”.

The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has awarded its first-ever ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) Code Approval Seals to licensees in the online gaming sector, marking a milestone in the Authority’s commitment to promoting responsible and sustainable industry practices.

This initiative follows the launch of the voluntary ESG Code of Good Practice last year, which invited licensees to submit their ESG disclosure returns. The Code, which covers 19 topics categorised under Environmental, Social and Governance pillars, offers a strategic roadmap for online gaming companies to streamline their reporting efforts.

Following the first annual reporting cycle, 14 gaming operators have been awarded the ESG Code Approval Seal. The Code supports two levels of reporting: Tier 1, which establishes foundational ESG standards, and Tier 2, which represents a more aspirational approach.

Seals are valid for one year, with flexibility for renewal in the subsequent reporting period, allowing operators to advance or adapt their reporting tier year by year.

“We believe this initiative will significantly enhance the industry’s reputation and sustainability credentials,” MGA CEO Charles Mizzi said.

“By integrating ESG considerations into their operations, gaming companies not only contribute to the wellbeing of society and the environment but also strengthen the trust and confidence that consumers, investors, and regulators have in the industry. This initiative sends a clear message: sustainability, in the broadest sense of the word, is integral to the future of the gaming sector.”
