About Time Really

The European Commission is no longer issuing un-enforced threats to the number of EU member states that refuse to comply with the EU’s policy related to the free trade of goods and services between EU member-states. Basically, ten countries have continued for the past several years to ignore the Commission’s request for an open and free European online casino gambling industry. All of the countries either operate state monopolies or have protectionist state legislation in place that is seeking to fine and punish any internet gambling companies that enter their closed gaming markets. This has been a huge bone of contention for years now and the online casinos are applauding the Commission’s latest action – further investigation and likely referrals to the European Court of Justice for more action and a definitive ruling on the situation.

The latest justice seems to be coming for the Netherlands and Greece. Both of these countries have been outright stubborn in their assertions that their state land and online casino gambling monopolies have a right to operate without interference from outside competition. The latest news out of the Commission indicates that a full investigation is under way to determine once and for all if the gambling policies and regulations in these nations are in contravention of the European Treaty.

The Remote Gaming Association is just one of the many organizations that represent the online casinos that are now applauding the Commissions more aggressive steps to put an end to the state monopoly situation that is plaguing Europe right now and causing some internet casino gambling operators to lose out of gambling revenues from these closed markets.
