Flutter Entertainment Shuts Down Betfair in Italy Due to Regulatory Changes


Flutter Entertainment has confirmed that it will be winding down the operations of its Betfair brand, along with Betfair Exchange, Sportsbook, and Casino in Italy.

The company has cited the recent review of Italian gambling regulations in November 2025 as the reason why the move has been necessitated.

The biggest factor for Betfair is the fact that all of its brands in Italy would have been required to hold a separate license, instead of a joint operator license that is then allowed to run multiple brands.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
