Italian Bingo Stumbles Once More
A game which is as entertaining as bingo can only remain a national treasure for so long before word spreads about how entertaining it can truly be. In recent times, we gamers have witnessed a massive increase in the popularity of the game in warmer climes but it seems that once again, Italy just isn't ready for the joys of bingo, much to the annoyance of the thousands of potential gamers who were looking forward to being able to have a bash at the bingo. Italian bingo lovers were able to log on and play bingo, which is known as 'Tombola' in Italy, for a short while back in December 2009 but the administrative court of the Lazio region of the country have called for the bingo operators to pause their activity.
The reason for this frustrating ruling was the failure of the decrees regulating online bingo to comply with the formalities required by Italian Law. Believe it or not, this is not the first obstacle that online bingo has faced over in Italy; in October 2009 the court of Lazio made the same ruling against bingo halls that attempted to interconnect their players. In response to this annoying new ruling, Italian online bingo operators are expected to have to wait until the Court of Appeal overturns the decision or the Italian Gaming Authority gains the required approvals and re-issues the decrees before they can re-open their sites.
So, next time you log on and have a flutter on favourite games, spare a thought for those poor Italian gamers who, due to the region they live in are having to wait so patiently in order to play too! Safe to say however, that once these problems have been ironed out, it will have been worth the wait!
