Common european gambling license?

Recommended Posts

I just read that my Gaming Oversight has suspended for 365 days lot of online gambling sites includes Unibet too. Internet providers should block the communication beetween the webpage and the client's computers and don't allow citizens to play via ip hiders or thor or greasemonkey. There is no worry because Unibet always created a new webpage (fe they added 1 to the original name) and we were redirected to the new one but it is a little bit scary that there is no chance to get the official license in the future.

As you can remember in the early 2000's it was enough to have a license of one european country (most of cases that was Malta) but  in the last years most of the states created their own regulation (Italy, France, Spain, Latvia, etc). Now it's not easy to play agains italian players because Italian law allows licensed operators only to play with players that hold an Italian fiscal code.

So as I see things are getting worse (2 gaming operators has excluded me due to the legislation changes) there is no change on a major poker event (like Unibet Open) in my country but still hope that Unibet will be able to get those .... license. Please response if yes:smileyvery-happy:

Yeah there are many countries now that have chosen a fenced market when it comes to poker such as italy, spain, denmark and bulgaria to just name a few. These would thus overide their european gaming license. I know that pokerstars have seperate sites for these countries and special rule applying to themn however as you said it would be interesting to find out what unibet is doing to try and preserve the italian market

There're very few things we can't comment on in the community, but this is one of them. We're a stock listed company, and therefore we can't comment on major business decision like whether or not we're going to apply for a certain license. 

We've got a local license in quite a few markets already; Denmark, Belgium, France, Italy, Estonia and the UK, just to name some.
