Our Mission
The legal battles fought in recent years before the European Court of Justice by a few brave and determined operators against national monopolies to claim the right to freely offer their gaming services across the EU regrettably did not result in the abolition of said monopolies, nor did they otherwise trigger an EU-wide harmonisation of the gaming legislation.
The founders and partners of gaminglaw.eu strongly believe that the nextchallenge for the gaming industry in Europe is to tackle and drive the legal and regulatory changes to be introduced by the Commission- and eventually the national governments- to ensure, in a realistic and pragmatic way, that any international gaming operator may actually conduct business across Europe without too many administrative barriers and hurdles, though still under fair, competition-friendly and reasonable local licensing regimes.
This goal can, in our view, be achieved only through coordinated, consistent and continuous pressure on all authorities concerned (in Brussels and elsewhere), made up of a strategic blend of efforts in terms of information, dissemination, education, consultation, political lobbying and, if required, fresh legal action.
With all this in mind, and to be able to cope with this major challenge, the founders and partners of gaminglaw.eu have now resolved to organise themselves in the form a pan-European group of firms, fully-integrated and highly specialised in the provision of legal and non-legal services to the international gaming industry but also well equipped to interact with those central or regional authorities that may wish to bridge the communication and relations gap that too often in the past has tarnished their dealings with the operators.
