Italy's Example help at all?

[Copernicus]

My understanding is Italy turned a legislated ban into a regulate/tax situation in a matter of months.

Does anyone know how/why that happened, and could the same pressures be applied here?

oooo details plz!

I'm pretty sure Italy's ban broke EU trading rules. Also the "ban" didn't appear to have any effect on reducing the number of Italian players.

Now that's something actually likely to have a future impact if as we all hope all of us and the fish can find ways to keep depositing and playing. Prohibition ended because they just couldn't stop the sale of alcohol and drinking.

It looks like EU rules was the problem.

These guys missed the boat day before yesterday:

Now that it is done, getting this bill reversed in any way is going to be a bear.

Their way is far too sensible for us.

what is the status of the study bill?

This looks like the best way that we all can lobby towards something positive
