The French regulated site Winamax has written to all its Italian customers to inform them that they may no longer play on the site. Italian players have been told that no more deposits will be accepted and that they should withdraw their funds.

The decision is being reported in the Italian gambling press as a triumph for the Italian regulator—French laws permit Winamax to accept players from other EU member states, but the Italian gaming laws do not allow Italian players to play at any poker room not regulated in Italy.
