The relocation lines up with a market argument rather than a simple change of scenery. Italy’s gambling industry generates roughly EUR 16 billion a year, yet only a quarter of that runs through digital channels, leaving close to EUR 12 billion in offline revenue still up for grabs. Operators, affiliates, platform and payment providers, regulators and investors get a summit built around exactly that gap.
