Opening up on two fronts, European online gaming companies have attacked both US and Danish online gambling policies in the aftermath of a poor compensation deal reached by the EU and the US in their WTO spat.
European-based online gaming companies, some with interests in online bingo games products and online bingo halls, are filing a discrimination complaint against the US over its UIGEA legislation while European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) is targeting the Danish government for its monopolistic policies.
While I applaud these moves, I can not but help feel they are indicative of a sense of desperation and betrayal by our trade representatives who should have done more to improve European online gaming interests.
That the industry itself has to take the initiative and go on the offensive is a poor indictment on the effectiveness of our European Union trade representatives. Whether such action will see the return of US players who play online bingo is very much open to question. But, as they say, ‘if you want to get something done right, do it yourself.’
