"Unfortunately, I was unable to participate in the votes on Christel Schaldemose’s report on the integrity of online gambling. However, I would like to use this opportunity to agree with the rapporteur, as the report points out several important and dangerous aspects concerning online gambling. In 2004, online gambling accounted for roughly 5% of the total gambling market in the EU and the numbers have been increasing rapidly over the past few years.
It is important to understand that different illegal activities such as credit card fraud, minors having access to gambling, match fixing, etc. are currently inevitable parts of online gambling. Also, the number of people addicted to gambling is likely to rise, as for many, online gambling is very convenient.
The impact of online gambling, as the rapporteur points out correctly, has not yet been examined in depth. Therefore, in order to protect citizens, it is crucially important that all Member States perform intensive research on the effects of online gambling as well as improve the monitoring and regulation of gambling markets."@en1
