Online Casino News from Europe

Friday, January 20th, 2025

The beginning of the new year has brought yet more news about online casinos in different countries in Europe. We first learn that those casino players who love to play online slots in the country of Belgium are not greeted with the best of news.  This time around Belgium is moving forward with its harsh and unjust new online gambling regulation, without taking into account any criticism at all. Beginning in the first month of  2025 different  Internet service providers or ISP’s  including Telenet, Belgacom, Base and Mobistar are now required by law to block online gambling web sites that do not have a license which allows them to operate in the country. The Belgian Gaming Commission has already provided ISP’s with preliminary black lists of online gambling sites that are currently active in Belgium but that are not licensed under the new regulations.

In the mean time, some reports coming out of Greece have stated that the country is now facing difficulties in dealing with unlicensed online gambling operators including those that offer free online slot games. Greek members of parliament learned more about the matter  by Evgenios Giannakopoulos, the president of the Committee of Surveillance and Control of Gaming. Giannakopoulos has stated that companies involved in unlicensed gambling in Greece earn about €7 billion a year in revenues that are not taxed. Therefore, this means loss of millions of euros for the government’s treasury. It appears that now tracking down the illegal gaming companies is extremely hard and time consuming and the committee will begin getting results only in about six months from now.

The Eurasian country of Georgia, in contrast, has an online casino practice that is moving forward. The growth of online casinos in this country is double that of the global rate. Many believe this can be traced to increasing Internet access in the country. Launching an online casino in Georgia is actually easier that getting a license in any other jurisdiction.

Canadian Online Casinos Thankful for Software Providers

Saturday, November 12th, 2024

The vice-president of the Canadian Gaming Association, Paul Burns, has stated that small and medium online gaming software businesses in Canada could deeply benefit from these gambling operations including online casinos in Canada. The gaming market in Canada is estimated at over C$16 billion. Moreover, as time goes by more and more provincial governments are considering changing  gambling laws in the country to legalize, regulate and naturally tax online gaming in their respective provinces. Ever since 1995 the gaming industry in this northern country has tripled the industry’s revenues which exceed the combined revenues of many other industries including sports , film, books, magazines, social establishments and other types of arts.

Burns has recently told Canadian gambling news: “Our industry supports more than 128,000 full-time jobs, 283,000 associated jobs and generates Cdn$12.5 billion in labor income and Cdn$8.7 billion in annual revenues remitted to the government.” He has also said that British Columbia and Quebec have already allowed online gambling and are seeing a boost from additional tax revenues. The next province to legalize online gambling including wagering on free slots and table games is Ontario in the year 2025 and they expect close to C$400 annual revenues from online gambling practices.

The latest and upcoming gambling regulation changes are likely to lift small and medium-sized casino gaming software companies out of the current black hole. Burns has stressed that: “I would estimate that gaming companies in the field will be purchasing anywhere from $4 billion to $7 billion in products and services.” Therefore, the opportunities for the online software developers will be basically limitless. “There will be a huge demand for HD technology experts for playing screens, IT security experts and IT administrators and service technicians,” he also stated. “Increasingly there is a focus towards new game delivery technology. In B.C. the lottery is planning to offer games to mobile device users”.

Massachusetts Likely to Expand Online Gambling Bill

Friday, November 11th, 2024

People who love to gamble or play free online slots are everywhere and they’re not going to go without a fight. According to a recent communication, a passage of the Massachusetts gambling expansion bill is looking like very much a possibility and the focus moves from the three casinos and the slot parlor to smaller issues. This past month of September, members of the state House of Representatives debated a number of amendments that have been proposed already regarding online casinos and bipartisan amendments are likely to have an important impact on the gambling industry and on the state’s economy.

The House Democrats also privately discussed 154 different amendments to the casino bill and the possibilities of changing it for the better. Fifty of those amendments were offered by Republicans supportive of the bill, with the rest by their fellow Democrats. Included in those amendments are incentives for land-based casinos to hire legal Massachusetts residents, the creation as a nonprofit charity casino, and according to The Herald News, banning the simulcasting of greyhound racing. Several of these amendments made by Republicans called for verification of legal status. A pair of amendments call for the casinos to use the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program to ensure that employees and job seekers are not illegal immigrants.

For now, there is no way of really known what the future might hold for the state of Massachusetts regarding the gambling laws but most insiders believe that the bill will pass the legislature without a problem. In 2023, a similar bill passed without much opposition, only to be rejected by Governor Deval Patrick. However, the governor has said that he will accept the current bill. Like in most states of the country, the 2023 election led to a lot of new Republican seats in the Massachusetts legislature, but most of those freshman Republicans support the new gambling bill.

Land-Based Casinos Suing Online Casinos

Friday, December 10th, 2023

These days anything goes if you want your business to stay afloat. Apparently, brick and mortar casinos have been hit hard by the recession and are turning to desperate measures to stop their ship from sinking. Even with land-based casinos still enjoying from their always well-liked success, these venues are always looking for new and shall we say inventive ideas to keep more cash flowing. Even if this means stomping on some legit businesses. One of the ways land-based casinos are using is trying to eliminate the competition, but not their next door neighbors but their virtual threats: online casinos.

One casino located in Athens, Greece has decided to try this out and attack an online casino that they feel wronged their business. The land-based casino called Parnes Casino is suing the online business Casino848 for revenue they claim to have lost due to unlawful infringement of the online casino in their specific market. In this country the law allows for online casinos  licensed by the government to legally operate there, however this one casino, a subsidiary of 888 Casino, does not possess a Greek online casino license.

Since this online casino did not have a Greek license, they were not allowed to operate in the country nor allowed to advertise there and this is exactly what they did. Not only did this online casino promoted themselves over a long period of time, they did it with huge billboards and posters within a very short distance from the Parnes Casino and this is what they’re using in their lawsuit alleging that they have lost a massive amount of revenuer resulting directly from the illegal advertising. In order for them to see what happens with their claim, they’re going to have to be patient or else, join in the online gaming industry for faster results as many of the Greek community are huge fans of online casino games like slots, poker and others.
