Italy is the first gambling game in Europe. The Italians spend valuable funds such as the state, fighting the phenomenon of ludopathy on paper. However, as we have seen in the case of a 2025 call for Lot, earnings are unstable to multinational companies.
Based on these profits, there is tobacco experts: on behalf of the state, make products of the industry – sisal and IGT -, scratch cards, or superalotto cards in more than 50,000 tobaccoists. In this case, there is an imbalance and tobacco experts condemn a “system” against them: “The same multinational companies that need to work on behalf of the state blackmail asking us.”
Who is behind Lot, Superenalotto and Scratch Cards
Lotto, super surface and scratch cards, but not just: slot machines, horse racing, national lottery. According to the most up -to -date data of the Customs and Monopoly Agency, the Italians focused 157.5 billion euros for “games”.
The Italian market has a Bosphorus, but can also be seen from the latest announcement that appoints the party’s administration: for approximately 4.4 billion revenues, two world giants, such as IGT and Sisal challenge in the industry. The first has the Italian roots, in addition to the old Lottoğa and scratch and winning system, he has managed for 26 years. In addition to other things, IGT is in the consortium with the Italian Tobaccoist Federation.
Sisal was also an Italian company in 2022 until it was purchased by Flutter Entertainment, a multinational leader in the online gaming industry, which had brands such as Betfair, Fanduel and Pokerstars and is about to complete the purchase of SNAI. Headquarters in Dublin. Currently, the Sisal is running superhelectaline.
Monthly 360 Euro IGT and Sisal “System”: How to win tobacco
Manage some of the most popular games such as Lotto, Superenalotto and Scratch and Win in Italy on behalf of the State IGT and Sisal. Sales networks consist of more than 50,000 tobaccoists in the region.
In addition to the gains directed by the games, IGT and Sisal are counted in indirect ones such as cross -sales. In addition, they want a tobacco “tax” to sell their products. Nevertheless, the same products keep them under concession from the state and are the state network in the region for the sale of “controlled” products such as tobaccoists, layers or cigarettes.
“How can you wonder more than 4,000 euros a year?”
Mauro Pasini, Brescia Tobacco Specialist
He works: “We sell scratch cards for IGT and sisal – he explains to Toray.
Both dealers want this 180 euros, so it doubled per month and was 360: Those who do not want to pay them are “threatened” by suspending products. “They threaten us and blackmail us, they prevent us from selling a state product – tells us – 4 cents with 1 euro program in Superenalotto. A scratch and winning package is 300 euros.
“I felt that I was threatened by the IGT in it – we read in another report – saying that they have eliminated the privileges if they did not match me, they did not reach the expected budget. There is a difference of about 5,000 euros.” The same happened for another tobacco specialist because it missed 100 euros. In other messages, he will be activated with dozens of tobacco dealers “180 euros for a premium contract”. Punishment, suspension of the sale of products.
Offer: “We give 50 euros per state, not multinational companies”
The UIT group presented a complaint to the prosecutors of Tabachai, Brescia and Milan, but at the same time there is a precedent with a sentence: the shirt gun in Lecce province refused to pay 180 euros to Sisal and brought the issue to a judge. He was right, and the Milan court sentenced the company to compensate for about 10,000 euros compensation.
“If you give him the privilege, you should check the games – Mauro Pasini’s attractiveness to the Meloni government -.
Then there is Ludopathy: “With these sales goals, they force products to advertise as much as possible, the more cost of the state for gambling problems”, Brescia tobacco expert.
Letters were reported to the Minister of Economy, Giancarlo Giorgetti, Minister of Health, Orazio Schillaci and President, Sergio Mattarella, as well as Antitrustust and Customs and Tekeller Agency. The story also came to parliament: Stefano Vaccari and Gian Antonio Girelli of the Democratic Party’s two deputies presented a question to the Ministry of Economy.
