Expect eSports betting to become Italy’s newest “thing” soon.

We recently reported that Italian gaming operator Snai entered the market via a partnership with sports and betting data champions Betradar to offer pre-match and in-play markets in popular competitive gaming events such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), League of Legends (LoL), and Dota 2.

Snai is Italy’s first eSports license holder, but online gaming and betting regulator Agencizia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM) is reportedly planning to add more eSports licensees “to channel the vertical” to Italy’s regulated betting operators.

Just like Snai, the eSports licenses will cover events like Dota 2 and LoL. According to iGaming Business, licensees will be regulated under the 2013 betting decree that limits the types of wagers placed. Under the decree, “the nature of bets must not include any sort of violent, indecent or discriminating offer.”
