John Anderson, former Chief Executive of 888 Holdings, has been recently called in by French authorities in regards to the sponsorship of Toulouse, the French football club, by 888.

Having announced certain forms of advertising like ads for online gambling illegal in December 2006, French authorities made 888 Holdings stopped advertising for Toulouse and stopped sponsorship.

The reason for calling in Anderson is that at the time of the warning he was a Chief Executive. Now, he is an independent director with the company.
888 pulled advertising, but French authorities hardly realize that. Perhaps they are sure that 888 continue permitting French players to open accounts at their online casinos and poker room.
The evident thing is that gambling monopoly in France makes situation on the international gambling and sports betting market worse.

Anderson is not the only person who experiences such an unpleasant situation though there is no evidence that any criminal charges have been made against him. Last year, two CEO’s were arrested in France. Last month, the European Poker Tour’s four-day tournament that was supposed to take place at the Casino Barriиre de Deauville, was cancelled by French authorities for the reason of being sponsored by Poker Stars, the online poker site.

“Government Bill regarding Application of Amendments on Certain Laws with Law on Arrangement of Book Making on Football Contests” recently proposed in Turkey lead to huge disagreement. In accordance with it all the operations of gaming companies, either domestic or foreign, should be authorized by the Turkish government. Otherwise, they can face imprisonment and fines. Moreover, participation, promotion or facilitation in these activities is also subject to criminal investigation.

As a result, the Bill has become the cause of constant attacks and criticism. Attorney Dr. Ola Wiklund, Attorney at Wistrand Law Firm, Stockholm and an Associate Professor at Stockholm University, is one of many who cannot stand but comment on the egaming law. He called it “a disproportionate and misguided challenge to the constitutional principles of free trade enshrined in EU law”. He considers it to be totally unacceptable. Dr. Ola Wiklund is sure that the purpose of the Bill is to increase the State’s income from gambling, at the same time it allows “the private shareholders of the State controlled undertakings to benefit”.

There is one more thing that might worry Europeans – the Bill may deter the integration process between Turkey and Europe.

Being underage and being not allowed to play in the casino, the girl could not receive the money. But Macau’s gaming authorities decided that the money should be paid out, not to the girl but to her mother.
