Some Key Online Casino Concerns

Denmark is causing quite a stir in the European online casino gambling industry with the announcement that the country is in development on new and more inclusive gambling regulations for the country. Danske Spil currently operates the country’s gambling monopoly and the European Commission has voiced opposition to the monopoly’s existence and the country’s protectionist gambling regulations. Now that there are new regulations in development though there is also still a lot of room for criticism. Complaints over high taxes on the online casinos is one deterrent to the regulations but a key concern lies in the fact that Denmark’s new regulations do not open up the country’s internet bingo and lottery markets.

The Danish regulations in development are specifically focused on the online casino gambling and poker gaming industries and a few other small sectors of the bigger market. But the Danish government is still keen on keeping some of the Danish gaming market protected by its state monopoly. Apparently, the new regulations leave internet bingo and internet lottery sales exclusively to Danske Spil, the state’s gambling monopoly.

This is a key concern because it indicates that even if the new regulations pass the Commission will have it’s work cut out for it in terms of continuing negotiations to end a state gambling monopoly in the country. The whole point of the Commission’s efforts are to completely level the playing field in the European market for all foreign online casino gambling companies interested in expanding their reach into new and wider markets.
