Online gambling in the EU

Online gambling and betting is a heavily regulated industry. There is no sector-specific EU legislation in the field of gambling services. EU countries are autonomous in the way they organize their gambling and betting services as long as they comply with the fundamental freedoms established under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). The freedom to provide services in another EU country is particularly relevant here.

In Finland, online gambling is regulated and subject to the state-owned monopoly, Veikkaus. See our blog post regarding the recent developments in Finland.
