New eGaming laws for Europe

A new report to the European Parliament has recommended harmonising eGaming laws across member states.

German MEP Jurgen Creutzmann put together a report recommending a common collection of laws be put in place for online gambling.

The suggestion, which would make life a lot simpler for the Isle of Man's eGaming firms, won support from the parliament, which voted to support it.

It would see the European Union bypass individual state laws and come up with its own legislation applying across the group of countries.
