Game Industry NewsOnline gaming industry feels it is under siegeDespite opposition from Malta, whose gambling industry brings it substantial revenue, EU ministers on Tuesday agreed on a common definition of illegal gambling, taking the first steps towards possible European regulation on the subject.The ministers, who were meeting in Brussels, briefly discussed a progress report by the Spanish presidency that could pave the way for a legal framework on gambling and betting in the EU.Gambling activities have traditionally been strictly regulated at national level to protect consumers against addiction, fraud, money laundering and fixed games. After gambling activities were excluded from the EU’s Services Directive, there have been a growing number of complaints from sports betting service providers regarding access to national markets. This has led to a number of European Court of Justice rulings on the issue and several Commission infringement procedures against member states to verify whether national measures limiting the cross-border supply of online gambling services are compatible with Article 49 of the EC Treaty, which guarantees the free movement of services.
