It's Just too Slow for Online Casinos

The process of justice in the European Union is turning out to be exceedingly slow – and that is cause enough to have some domestic and international groups peeved. The European online casinos that have been patiently waiting for full access to the European market, without the restrictions of roughly a dozen gambling monopolies, have a lot longer to wait. The situation is just taking a ridiculously long time right now and there seems to be no reason for it. The European Commission has entered into negotiations with all of the nations in question and has been for some time – years even. But what on heavens is taking so long? It’s as if the Commission is unsure of its legal standing despite the fact that EU trade policies and founding principles support the Commission’s attempts to create a free and open online casino gambling market.

It really appears as if the Commission is just dragging its heels on this subject and is forcing the European online casinos to take a stand on their own. The Commission’s decision to begin issuing warnings to those countries with internet gambling monopolies was a long time coming and was actually applauded by the online casino gambling industry. The negotiations have been going on for years and there has been very little positive movement in the cases. It really does appear that it is time to really bring in the big guns on the issue, the European Court if Justice.

The ECoJ has the power to really levy huge fines against those nations that are blocking other EU online casino gambling companies from their markets for protectionist reasons. But, on another exasperating note, the situation still seems a little hopeless. Although the threat of court action has been issued, no country has actually been referred to the ECoJ – that’s when the Commission will likely really start to seem some movement from those nations in question.
