"I support the recommendations in the report on online gambling because they will result in a more open gaming market. At the same time, it is important to emphasise that it is not the easy access to online games that causes gambling addiction. Currently, only 85% of the 15 000 operators of online gambling in the EU have a licence, so there is a large grey market. That is something that we need to have dealt with when the markets are opened up. A common licensing system, whereby undertakings that have a licence in one country can provide their services in several EU countries, will give gambling operators an incentive to acquire a licence. I also support the fact that the report aims to combat money laundering and other crimes associated with online gambling. There is a particular risk that illegal gambling will lead to match fixing, which would severely undermine sport as a whole."@en1
