Italy budget day: Gambling’s €700 million bill could fall on lotteries and online

Italy’s gambling sector could fund its roughly €700 million share of the 2027 budget through the aggio, the commission on lottery sales, and through online gaming, according to financial daily Milano Finanza . The breakdown appears as a single line in the paper’s wider budget coverage. Until now, reports had said the mechanism was undecided. If confirmed, it would shift the burden away from land-based retail. The detail is still pre-Cabinet reporting, however, and the final text may differ.
