"The online gambling and betting sector is growing at an exponential rate. Not taking account of the development of this commercial phenomenon would be to see Europe underestimate not only the benefits that this sector brings for the Member States, but also the risks associated with it. I voted in favour of the report by Mr Creutzmann because it must be praised for coordinating and looking closely at the risks and opportunities that the online gaming sector carries. In fact, in some countries, the percentage of addicted gamblers – pathological cases, that is – is as high as 2%. Considering facts like this and appealing for coordination between Member States on fighting crimes connected to the sector, including illegal betting, is the most proper legislative route to take so that we can, at the same time, make the most of the economic potential of online gambling and its positive connections with charity and sport."@en1
