Making it Crystal Clear

The online casino gambling situation in the European Union has been a big cluster of confusion over the past several years because of discrepancies in the interpretation of EU policies. That is all changing though as the European Commission and some top level authorities voice their support for a even playing field for the online casinos in the European gambling market. In fact, the EU Internal Market Commissioner, Michel Barnier, has made it a personal task to sort out the confusion of the EU gambling industry quickly. There is a hope that the Commissioner will really focus on the current gambling monopolies and force these countries into compliance.

Barnier will not be the first European politician to tackle the EU online casino gambling industry, but he is one of the first that has enough power to actually effect some real change. There are about a dozen countries in the EU that have restricted the ability of foreign companies to access their markets, and that contravenes EU laws. France is top on the list right now because the country has still not altered its regulations despite asserting the desire to implement new changes.

Barnier’s efforts will now have the backing of a European Court of Justice and other officials that are coming down on the side of openness. Although there are circumstances under which some countries can have a protected online casino gambling market, those dispensations are tight and, for the most part, they are not going to count for the vast majority of nations.
