Gambling
Study on gambling
To obtain a detailed overview of the legal and economic aspects of
gambling and games of chance, the Commission asked the Swiss Institute
of Comparative Law to carry out a study into the sector. The study is
the result of close to two years work and provides an analysis of the
legal regimes governing gambling and games of chance in the European
Union. The study also attempts to give indications on the economic
development of the sector. The study confirms that in all Member States
the sector is subject to rules and regulations aimed at safeguarding
public interest objectives. While pursuing broadly similar aims the
national laws and regulations vary considerably and often lead to
barriers to the freedom to provide services and the freedom of
establishment that are incompatible with Community law.
