What protection does this licence give players?
National self-exclusion (RUA)
Italy operates a self-exclusion register that applies across ADM-licensed operators.
Public operator list
ADM publishes licensed operators, so a licence claim is verifiable.
Advertising restrictions
Italy bans most gambling advertising, reducing aggressive promotion.
Identity & AML checks
Operators verify identity and age and apply anti-money-laundering controls.
If something goes wrong
Complain to the operator first. ADM supervises licensees and handles regulatory matters; Italian consumer-protection routes can assist with a licensed business. Make sure you are using the operator's Italian (.it) ADM-licensed site, as that is the version covered by Italian rules.
