Greece Forced Into EU Online Casino Compliance

Customers and employees of Stanleybet that were arrested for violating the state gaming monopoly in Greece have filed petitions with the European Union and now the European Parliment has noted that the petitions against Greece for failure to comply with EU fair-trade rules is worth investigating. A member of the European Parliment, Sir Robert Atkins of the UK, stated that it was time for the EC to enforce EU internal market rules in Greece, which includes gambling.

“This inaction is not even to protect a Greek government monopoly, it is to protect a company
listed in the Athens Stock Exchange,” said a third member, Roger Helmer of the UK. Stanleybet
claims that they’ve repeatedly been denied a Greek gaming license and it seems that the Greek
government will do whatever it can to protect the gaming monopoly within their borders.
