As announced by The goverment: “MEPs in Strasbourg have backed a report which efficiently supports the existing right of associate states to regulate online betting and sports gaming.

The conclusion comes as a problem to those who are pressing for EU-wide liberalization of the betting industry.

Deputies overwhelmingly voted in favor of an own-initiative account by Danish Socialist member Christel Schaldemose on the ‘morality’ of online betting.

Some 544 voted in favor of her record with 36 opposing and 66 forbearances.

An optional report, backed by UK centre-right MEP Malcolm Harbour, disputed that inside trade regulations should apply to betting activities but was gravely beaten.

He responded by claiming government had ‘evaded an opening’ for a further open betting business, adding, ‘Several associate states continued to have their heads in the sand, failing to recognize the actualities of a active betting market.’

He stated the condition in the UK ‘has proven how a liberalized, yet efficiently controlled business, can reach both a high level of customer protection and morality in online betting.’

Schaldemose added there had been an ‘explosion’ in online betting and was between those associates who called for action on the €4bn Internet betting market in order to safeguard young people and impede deception.
