A little doubt against Enstonian licence policy
 June 30, 2008, 1:34 pm (12 years ago)The European Commission is paying attention to a new gambling bill relating to online and land licensing provisions, currently under consideration in Estonia.
According to the proposed legislation, there would be a need to apply for licensing for all gambling providers in Estonia where several online gambling software development subsidiaries of major European companies reside.
European Commission officials apparently have doubts about this requirement, which may disregard EU doctrines for the free transferring of goods and services between member states by forcing to get license from those EU companies that already have suitable licensing from other member nations.
The European Gaming and Betting Association are following developments with interest. Secretary General Sigrid Ligne said that the Commission’s guiding principle to Estonian supervisors are clear and say that there is no need for online gaming operators that already have a gaming license from another EU to acquire another license in Estonia.
Estonian Ministry of Finance spokesmen told local media that the there is no intention to regulate online gaming with current gaming law.
