Italian term or phrase: in maniera scrupolosa e assoluta
Contract ( betting)


osservare, in maniera scrupolosa e assoluta, nell’attività di sottoscrizione dei contratti di conto di gioco e e di rivendita della carta di ricarica, il divieto di intermediazione previsto e punito dalla legge n. 401/1989, nonché il divieto di operazioni di accesso al conto di gioco dei giocatori per la raccolta e l’intermediazione di giocate ai..

English translation:[suggestion for the whole thing]
Explanation:
It is possible to rewrite whole paragraphs of a legal document so that it reads well while remaining faithful to the original. Just because it's long, wordy and repetitious doesn't mean your translation should be.

As Adrian points out, 'in maniera scrupulosa e assoluta' is redundant - you either comply with the law, or you don't.

So I suggest:

In accordance with law no. 401/1989, refrain from acting as an intermediary in signing gaming account contracts and reselling top-up cards, and from accessing players' accounts to collect stakes, either directly or as an intermediary...

The last few words of my translation may need tweaking, as you've omitted the end of the sentence.

Painstaking


Explanation:
I'd say "scrupulously and completely".
So the text would go: "scrupulously and completely (respect/abide/comply with)... the prohibition of..."

scrupulously and unconditionally


Explanation:
to observe, scrupulously and unconditionally, in the course of /throughout/ the activity of underwriting / executing -> sigining up to.... (nell’attività di sottoscrizione), the ban, prohibition or restraint *on*...

-> in scrupulous and unconditional manner is 'otiose' (redundant), as in the Italian word - taught by my Südtiroler teacher of Italian - for a business: ne-gozio = no leisure (AmE) leezure-time.

Pening comments from ProZ regulars, other permutations & combinations for assoluta and that don't quite work: absolutely, utterly, throughout - though the latter could be sneaked (Daily Mail broadsheet-cum-tabloid: snuck) in to preface the activity.
