Since 2013, Italy\u2019s bingo concessions have been renewed under a so-called <em>technical extension<\/em>, which effectively prolonged the contracts for more than a decade without a new tender process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/italian-council-of-state-orders-adm-to-recalculate-bingo-concession-fees-based-on-revenue-and-operator-losses2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14081\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/italian-council-of-state-orders-adm-to-recalculate-bingo-concession-fees-based-on-revenue-and-operator-losses2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/italian-council-of-state-orders-adm-to-recalculate-bingo-concession-fees-based-on-revenue-and-operator-losses2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/italian-council-of-state-orders-adm-to-recalculate-bingo-concession-fees-based-on-revenue-and-operator-losses2-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Council of State found that this system violated the principles of transparency and economic proportionality.
