For years the gambling industry has been growing fast in the EU online gambling with a major factor in this growth, including in countries with a ban on online gaming. Divergent national regimes and a number of still undecided cases pending in Brussels and Luxembourg leave cross-border online gambling activities in a grey zone of legal uncertainty.
The Commission communication of 23.10.2012 on online gambling identifies a number of measures to be implemented by the Commission and Member States by 2014. These measures include the evaluation of the implementation of existing EU law by Member States; the coordination of national regulatory authorities; consumer protection and protection of minors; fraud and money-laundering prevention; and combatting manipulation of betting. One year from its adoption, it is time to analyse the state of implementation of this Action Plan in the context of its legislative environment.
