Malta Was a Fair Shot
The accusations are being laid out clearly within the online casino gambling
industry right now and they will have to be sorted out by the EU officials. The
France situation has consumed the European market over the past several months
because there are nuances and a straight injustices within the French
regulations that unfairly give French licensed and operating gaming sites an
advantage over those licensed and operating outside of the country. The Maltese
authorities have filed another complaint with the EU about France’s internet
gambling regulations in an attempt to keep the European operating fairly for all
of the EU member-states.
Malta has fielded accusations that the Maltese authorities are filing the
complaints out of fear of competition gracefully and perhaps truthfully with
claims that it is less about fears arising because of competition from a new
licensing jurisdiction, but the Maltese authorities feel that it is only fair to
enforce regulations intended to make all of these licensing jurisdictions
competitively similar – and the specifications for France online casino licenses
are simply not in compliance and may unfairly take licensees from the market.
Malta’s complaints have actually put a complete halt to the French regulations
and all of the newly licensed poker and gambling sites are not able to operate
within the market until the situation has been appropriately resovled by the
European officials. There is a thought that this is simply not going to find
resolution until France agrees to once against liberalize and adjust their
online casino policies and regulations. |
