The "standstill period" for Italy's new online gambling concessions tender has been extended by the European Commission until November 18.
The ruling comes after the Malta government filed a "detailed opinion" expressing concerns about the technical and compliance requirements for companies operating under Italy's new online gambling licensing framework.
The Malta Gaming Authority contends that by imposing "duplicate requirements" on technical procedures and compliance controls, Italy will place "unnecessary barriers" on companies, including system and platform suppliers.
