    cant see it being a problem,......... italian soccer teams are plastered with bokmaker sponsors,.... so there shouldnt be a bookie ban there as far as im aware.

    Betfair can also be viewed in Italiano, so its almost certainly available there.

    I've used betfair in internet cafes in Milan a good few times, can't see why it would be a problem.

    It makes no sense. I've tried three times now all with no avail and yesterday half of the pitch in the Italy match was covered in Betfair advertising.
    When I try and access it a government message comes up and the same happens with Paddy Power. Boyle Sports is OK but vintagely i have no money in my account and no credit card.Sham

    try www5.betfair.com it uses a different server. I imagine its a problem with your firewall as opposed to the actual betfair site

    Might be your ISP. Gambling is a dodgy subject in Italy. AFAIK, the government don't allow it, but they have made it the ISP's responsibility to block these sites. Soem ISPs are alot more stricter than others..
