Why is Stanelybet Ostracized

Stanleybet’s pending case against the Italian government has set tongues wagging hard over the past several weeks as the land and online casino gambling industry prepares to process just what an effect the outcome of the Stanleybet lawsuit will have on the European Union’s gambling policies on the whole. Stanleybet has filed a massively huge Euro 1.533 billion lawsuit in the Italian courts and against the Italian government. Stanleybet’s current legal action is timed to coincide with the new legalized and licensed land and online betting markets that have come fruition in the Italian market. This sounds like the perfect situation for Stanleybet, which has spent a full decade fighting for the rights of EU gambling companies to operate in Italy and other EU member-states, but Stanleybet claims that the Italian government still continues to ostracize and specifically exclude Stanleybet from all Italian gambling activities.

The situation started 12 years ago when the Italian government forced Stanleybet to shut down all of the company’s many land betting shops in Italy. Stanleybet lost millions of dollars because of the forced closures and has since spent 12 years fighting for full reacceptance by Italian officials. With the online casinos now a whole other issue, fighting with the land gambling companies has become much less of a focus for so many governments but not Italy. Stanleybet is consistently singled out, denied licensing, and generally penalized by Italian officials because the company is a land based foreign operator.

The lawsuit specifically looks at the way that the Italian officials have treated Stanleybet, the damages this has done to the company’s reputation as well as other issues along the line with the fact that Italy’s government is now favoring foreign online casinos and betting sites but still denying Stanleybet the peace to open shops and operate within the market.
