Protecting Remote Online Casinos

The online casino gambling situation in Europe has heightened once again as European licensing jurisdictions fight the recent ruling the EU Parliament that might very well counteract all of the work that the European Commission has been doing over the past several years. Basically, the debate around the EU online casinos centers on two main arguments, those who assert that internet gambling regulations should remain under the dominion of individual states and those companies and individuals asserting that internet gambling is merely another part of the European Union’s international economy and should therefore operate under national regulations. The online casinos support this second argument, as do most of the small nations that license internet gambling as a cornerstone of their economy.

For Malta, the results of the recent vote were quite unsettling and the Malta Remote Gaming Council is ready to fight this latest affront to their senses. One of the first issues is to figure out why two of the five Malta MEPs did not support the alternative legislation. The Maltese economy is almost wholly reliant on the international online casino gambling industry – from licensing the sites to allowing the companies to operate off of the island, the industry is integrated into the fabric of the Maltese economy.

Now though, if the EU Parliament approval spreads across the EU as actual policy, all of the online casinos that have invested time and money is the opening of the EU market will all have essentially wasted their time. Mostly, all of those opposed are not even necessarily avid supporters of the internet gambling industry, but rather believe that the EU market ought to be free and open as the EU policies state.
