The total amount wagered in the gambling market in Italy dropped sharply in 2020 over the previous year due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In 2020, gambling venues and casino halls in Italy had to stay close for several months as the country implemented emergency restrictions to limit the spread of the virus. As a result, the total amount wagered reached its lowest figure since 2015, passing from over 110 billion euros in 2019 to roughly 88 billion euros in 2020.
Looking at the main reasons why people engage in gambling could be useful to better understand the Italian market. According to a 2019 survey, offline gambling was the most popular form of gambling in Italy that year. Meanwhile, the hope of a big win was the main reason that moved Italians to gamble in 2019. However, the pursuit of easy money and the idea of playing just for fun were also popular reasons for gambling in Italy in 2019.
