In the text of a law published in Italy last May 5 2009 (can not remember the reference, sorry …), were lifted sanctions against players who play on foreign gambling sites and those who advertise such products.
The Italian Government has drafted this law to comply with EU laws.
First, players and webmasters took heavy sanctions (fines and arrests…)
These sites, however, must licensed in EU.
If I can find references to this law, I will publish this text here! Sorry guys…
Cheers
