Casinowebscripts,
the premier gaming company which creates top gaming solutions for operators who
seek to buy games for online casinos,
has information regarding recent declarations made by the Court of Justice of
the European Union, in which it has been stated that Italy will not be allowed
to ban any online gambling sites that are based in another EU member state in
order to favor their own financial interest. Italy used to hold a blacklist of
internet gaming and betting operators, following the example of Belgium, whose
regulations are highly criticized by the EU Court which considers that they are
against the principles on which the gaming industry in the EU is founded.
The Court
explained that if any member state tries to restrict other EU operators
licensed in another EU state who are willing to offer their products to
residents of that certain country, it means that it is not acting in accordance
with the EU law. Under Articles 43 EC and 49 EC, the Court explained that if an
online operator holds a gaming license in an EU territory, any other EU member
state must allow that certain operator to offer betting and gaming services to
any other EU country, if the gaming license complies with the EU law and it is
issued by that state’s own authorities.
