Online Casino Pressure Not from EU

The online casino gambling industry in Switzerland is in for some very major changes this year and, unlike other nations, it’s not because of negotiations and pressure from the European Commission. Switzerland is not a part of the EU and as such does not have to adhere to the free trade policies that many EU member states are being called out on in the past two years. Switzerland has the right to block foreign online casinos from operating in the market, but like any other European country, actually enforcing those blocks has become a tedious exercise in exactly what isn’t working. To rectify the situation the Swiss government announced that new regulations are in development right now that are aimed at bringing a more inclusive and controlled gambling market to the country.

The Swiss officials have watched as the gambling bans went from mildly ineffective to wholly absurd – there are really no cohesive ways that nations can block the online casino gambling industry without severely infringing on the personal freedoms that are inherent in the Western world. With that in mind, the Swiss government announced plans to create more scaleable regulations that outline specifics for each major aspect of the gambling industry – and that includes the online casinos! In addition, poker, betting, bingo, and mobile gambling will all also be addressed in the country’s new, more liberalized gambling laws.

As the Swiss government examines the existing laws and drafts new regulations, the foreign European online casinos are really stepping up their game and gearing up for this lucrative and primed gambling market.
