About this site
Gioco News (GiocoNews.it) is an Italian-language public-gaming trade daily covering regulation, operators, land-based casinos, betting, poker, horse racing, and industry politics for the licensed Italian market. Launched in 2009 by GN Media as a 24/7 quotidiano for industry and institutional readers, it still publishes ADM enforcement, concession and AML updates, company results, and coverage of venues such as Campione, Sanremo, and Saint Vincent.
Its clearest differentiator versus Italy’s player-facing comparators is B2B trade journalism rather than ADM casino rankings. The live homepage is organised around Politica, Ippica, Dalle aziende, Esteri, convegni, and verticals for poker, casinos, and players, not welcome-offer tables. Founding publisher GN Media sold the website in July 2025 and kept IGE (Italian Gaming Expo); the privacy notice now names Italian Publisher Srl at the same Terni address.
The Chi siamo page now uses generic consumer-review language (casino and sportsbook testing, bonuses, withdrawal speed) that does not match the news surface, and the post-sale owner is thinly disclosed. Even so, Gioco News is a strong Italy gambling-portals listing because it is the dedicated Italian trade daily beside Jamma’s public-gaming newspaper and Affidabile.org’s player comparators.
Editorial review
Our assessment of Gioco News
Key features
- Italian public-gaming trade news covering ADM enforcement, concessions, AML, operator results, and land-based casinos
- 24/7 quotidiano format since 2009 with politics, company, overseas, conference, poker, and casino verticals
- Industry-and-institution audience distinct from ADM-licensed player comparison sites
Strengths
- Clearer Italy trade-news identity than consumer affiliate guides, with ADM, SAPAR, and parliamentary coverage rather than bonus tables
- Useful specialist beside Jamma, AgiproNews, and Siti Scommesse because it reports the licensed market as a trade daily rather than a press wire or player rankings
- Long-running GN Media heritage (2009) as a reference daily for Italian public gaming, even after the July 2025 site transfer
Limitations
- The Chi siamo page now reads as a generic casino-review template that does not match the live trade-news homepage, so brand positioning is inconsistent after the sale
- Current publisher Italian Publisher Srl is thinly described, and the site is built for industry and institutional readers rather than players choosing where to deposit
Who it is best for
Gioco News is best for operators, suppliers, advisers, and Italy-market watchers who need Italian public-gaming trade news rather than ADM casino comparison rankings.
