Greece Targeted Next

The European Commission has been working diligently over the past several years to bring all of the rogue EU member states into compliance with the EU policy that is thought to mean that online casinos should operate freely throughout the EU. The specific EU policy relates to the free trade of goods and services between EU member-states; the online casino gambling companies are backed by the Commission in asserting that gambling sites are also a part of the free trade policies and therefore countries operating a monopoly should have to disband the monopoly and welcome foreign companies also offering internet gambling to national residents.

Greece is specifically being targeted heavily right now as the Commission investigates the Greek laws and begins stronger enforcement efforts. That is the key of where the policies lies right now; the Commission has sent warnings to a dozen or so EU member-states, like Greece, that are operating online casino monopolies and keeping all foreign competition at bay. All that is left is to now enforce the threats that the Commission made and to actually refer all of these nations to the European Court of Justice for further action and penalties.

Without actual enforcement and penalties for the countries preventing foreign online casinos access there is no way to effectively curb the activity. The European Commission has spent countless man-hours investigating each nation operating a gambling monopoly and now what is left is to take the appropriate action that will actually stop these countries from continuing the contrary policies and regulations.
