Trading tournaments in Italy

Italy hosts the rare regulated-EU real-money trading contest: ITCup (Investment & Trading CUP) has run since 1999 with free registration, IG Italia partnership, and awards ceremony at Borsa Italiana — acquired by Borsaefinanza srl in August 2025. The BSIC Bocconi Students Investment Club runs Market Making + Asset Allocation contests with recruiting tie-ins. BNP Paribas House of Trading airs a weekly TV-tied Concorso a Premio (prizes small but URL recurs reliably for SEO). Politecnico Milano + LUISS + Cattolica add the student-circuit weight. Crypto via Young Platform (Turin HQ) and Conio is non-contest.

Frequently asked questions about Italy

Is ITCup still running in Italy?

Yes. ITCup (Investment & Trading CUP) has run since 1999 with free registration and an IG Italia partnership. The awards ceremony is held at Borsa Italiana, and the contest was acquired by Borsaefinanza srl in August 2025.

Can Italian residents join cash-prize trading tournaments?

Yes, but options are narrow. Under CONSOB and ESMA, ITCup is the rare cash-prize EU-regulated contest available to Italian residents, made workable by routing through IG Italia's MiFID structure.

What Bocconi trading competitions exist?

The BSIC Bocconi Students Investment Club runs Market Making and Asset Allocation contests with recruiting tie-ins. Politecnico Milano, LUISS, and Cattolica add further weight to the Italian student trading circuit.

Does BNP Paribas run a trading contest in Italy?

Yes. BNP Paribas House of Trading airs a weekly TV-tied Concorso a Premio in Italy. Prizes are small, but the format is recurring and stable.

Do Italian crypto exchanges run PnL trading tournaments?

No. Young Platform (Turin HQ) and Conio operate as Italian crypto venues but do not run PnL contests, so crypto tournament exposure for Italian residents has to come from outside these platforms.
