Libelous Comments Spread

Betfair is the largest global online casino gambling and betting company; Betfair has a truly international base of gamblers and boasts the most extensive network in the whole of the industry. The company has really paved the way in the internet gambling industry and created a lot of new avenues for marketing and sponsorship strategies that have really boosted the reputation of the online betting industry. A recent court case in Ireland has sided with the betting company for this round of the trial – it is surely to go to the appeals court. Betfair’s chat rooms are used as a sounding board for the thousands of Betfair users all over the world – and Betfair alleges that it should not be responsible for each and every comment that is made on the gambling site.

The Irish High Court ruled that Betfair was not, in fact, responsible for the libelous comments that were made allegedly made against Seamus Mulvaney and Ellen Martin. The judge ruled to protect the rights of the internet based companies to not be responsible for each and every comment that is made by a third party on the site. The judge has only made a preliminary ruling in the case, so it will likely go further through the courts, but Betfair is pleased with the initial results.

Basically, this case would set a very real precedent in the internet industry – not just for the online casinos and betting companies, but for the whole of the industry. If it passes through all of the way and Betfair is not held responsible, then it confirms the EU protection standards that are in place for companies that host chat rooms and forums on their servers.
