Is online casino legal all over europe?

This is out of my comfort zone to be honest as everyone knows I'm not very geographical! However, I have a very close friend you may have heard of him actually his name is "Mr Google" B) B)

 

He was able to help me out on this ....

 

I quote " Prior to the formation of the European Union, each country naturally legislated and regulated their own gambling sectors. Not all European countries allowed gambling, but a lot did, and many European governments derived significant tax income from state-licensed (and often state-run) casinos.

 

However, eventually the Wall fell, and years later the European Union was formed. Within the EU, there is a treaty of fair trade, specifically designed to encourage European countries to do business with each other.

 

Under the terms of this Free Trade agreement, an EU member country may ban a particular business practise within their territory on moral or ethical grounds – but not if the ban merely excludes foreign companies from entering their markets and protects local monopolies from competition.

 

Therefore, under the strictest interpretation, online gambling is completely legal in the EU, and in fact is a thriving market sector."

 

Thanks for asking that question actually, I found that to be a really interesting read! I hope it answers your question

Hello from me too and welcome to the AskGamblers forum.

 

This is a million dollar question I would say, Especially at the moment when almost half of all European countries are about or have just implemented brand new gambling laws.

 

Our beloved cocopop tried to give you some basic outlines of this matter, but the only way to be absolutely sure for a specific country is to check thoroughly with its own legislation.
