Italian online bingo has finally been given the go ahead, after courts ruled for a suspension of the laws that regulate the game. Internet bingo was launched in Italy as far back as December 2009; however games were suspended soon afterwards when the administrative courts of the Lazio region ruled that the approval of the decrees regulating the game were not compliant with the country’s overall gaming regulations.

Months of back and forth motions and legal battles ensured, eventually resulting in a victory for the online version of this popular game in March 2010.

This victory will be widely celebrated by Italian bingo fans as well as operators hoping to enter the burgeoning Italian bingo market. Across the world, bingo has been gaining popularity and multi-national bingo is becoming a set trend as the world’s leading operators take advantage of the global demand for bingo games.

Despite the game’s origins being rooted in Italy (where it began as a lottery type game), the online version has been relatively slow to develop. With the new suspension of the laws attempting to halt its progress, there will be no stopping Italy’s cyber bingo boom as players from all over the country logon to enjoy excellent bingo games online.
