The article refers to Belgium, but if we look at other countries: Poland has been making noise about banning online gambling outright, before it was Sweden staunchly defending its national monopoly... And the list could go on... Taking into account that national governments are mostly interested in their national interests and inflate the state budget, rather than in consumers choices, consumers are gathering and developing initiatives such as Right2bet aimed at guaranteeing the right of consumers to decide which betting operator they want regardless of the country where they are based on. If you also believe in a truly open single European market, go to right2bet and sign the petition that will be presented to the European authorities.
