Online gambling – MEPs to debate rules to combat fraud, addiction

Over 3 million people in Europe bet online on sports like football, cricket and horse racing. For most it’s a bit of fun but gambling addiction and match-fixing are darker sides of sports betting. On Monday MEPs will decide whether online sports betting should be regulated at a European or national level. A report by the Parliament’s Internal Market Committee calls for national governments to regulate it. However, some MEPs on the Committee disagree and want European rules.

    I agree that online sports betting should be regulated at a European level. The big online gambling sites operate from abroad (in countries like Switzerland, cfr. Bwin). I also have problems with all those pokersites. A friend of mine was so addicted to it, he had a depression when he lost all his money.
