The course, titled "Promozione del gioco responsabile: gestione consapevole degli apparecchi automatici di gioco", must be finished by 31 December 2026 with a valid attendance and proficiency certificate. The obligation applies only to the owner, not employees, and the STS FIT trade union has arranged accredited courses at discounted rates for members.
