Print-icon
 

The Kuwait News Agency yesterday reported British MEP Arlene McCarthy, chair of the European Parliament's Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee (IMCO), as saying there are 3.3 million regular online gamblers in Europe, gambling €5 billion.

The report said that the IMCO hosted a hearing on the consumer and internal market aspects of online gambling and sports betting on Thursday. McCarthy is reported to have reiterated that while EU member states have the right to set their own laws on gambling, no member state has the right to set hypocritical laws that discriminate in favour of domestic and government-owned operators.
