Will Online Gambling Market Change in France

Leave a reply

As a result of French gaming companies teaming up and a ban from the French courts, fourteen foreign online casinos including Bwin and Unibet are forced out of the French market.

Despite the government’s agreement to alter the regulations, France is still violating EU policies by not allowing foreign online casino sites to legally operate in the market, as the alterations to regulations have neither been passed nor taken effect. So, if the French courts attempt to ban these companies, they will be forced to stay out of the French market for two years.

The Chinese government has been serious about blocking and banning all forms of illegal internet gambling in the country which is proved by an attempt to implement pre-installed internet filters in all the computers sold in the country. These filters are supposed to block questionable web sites and then add more sites to the already existing list of questionable web sites.

However, filtering plan didn’t work out and the government in China is considering the idea of forming a team that will cut down on the activity through all of the avenues the online casinos use to access Chinese players.

Gaming sites are to be investigated within half a year starting from February till August, and the clean out is promised to be quite thorough.

Actually, some tribes are supporting legalization of online casinos in the state, while others are against. Of course, they are protecting their own assets and are expecting deep analysis to be done by unbiased outsiders to assess the potential of a Californian online casino gambling industry.

The European Court of Justice has finally started supporting the efforts of the European Commission in forcing countries to open their doors to foreign gambling companies.

At the moment Spain is hot on the list of the countries breaking EU gambling laws. The disagreement has risen as a result of tax breaks given only to the players winning from Spanish gambling companies, whereas players who gamble and win at offshore online casino sites are to pay taxes on their winnings.

In spite of the fact that Spain is working with relatively open gambling laws now, it still giving clear preference to Spanish based companies. The taxation policy in Spain is, by no means, protective, however, it is not in compliance with the EU laws.

Protect Gamblers or Protect State Revenues?

Leave a reply

Greece is still refusing to comply with the European Commission’s request to readjust policies and regulations and end the existing online gambling state monopoly. The Greek government explains it as a necessary measure to protect Greek citizens from addiction. In reality, it is all about the money. By blocking foreign online casinos and land betting companies, Greece keeps state control over the gambling money in the country.

It is obvious that the state monopoly is not less dangerous than the foreign gambling companies, but state monopoly works for the state budget only, while foreign online casinos site benefit the whole of the EU Economy.

Of course, there are some countries where the state monopoly can be justified, but how to define the country’s genuine interest?
