Some of my Italian colleagues have highlighted that some smarkets agents approached in some Italian forums with some unwanted messages. The message that was sent out was:
Do not wait for Betfair and Betdaq to be regulated in Italy , we are smarkets we do accept your business anyway. It 's not a good message to Italian users who just wanted to be legally recognized and regulated.
It 's true that Italian users should not encounter any fines for the moment they are using the sites but, as a company smarket, despite the European Treaty, and specifically the article 43 and 46, can still be unwelcome from italian authorities therefore unwelcome from italian users once betfair and betdaq are regulated.

Hello - I am an official Smarkets rep and we have never released a statement like the one you are referring to above, nor have we commented in any Italian forums. We only post in specific forums that we have been granted access to by forum administrators as a way to answer customer queries.

Absolutely nothing to do with them. We are curious to know which forum or forums these claims are appearing in.
