"In favour. The online gambling sector is growing constantly. Nowadays, according to current figures, about 10% – a figure which is rising – of all gambling in Europe takes place on the Internet or via comparable distribution channels such as mobile phones or interactive television platforms, with a market volume in excess of EUR 10 billion. The market for physical, location-based gambling and the online gambling sector are characterised by a wide range of products: traditional lotteries, but also sports betting, poker, bingo and totalisator betting on horse and greyhound races.
By its very nature, the Internet is a cross-border medium. Online gambling therefore does not stop at borders. As a result of ever-increasing offerings and the increasing number of gamblers, the current market fragmentation in this area in Europe is also becoming ever more obvious. In a host of Member States, there are total bans or bans with the possibility of authorisation, while others have a completely open and liberalised market."@en1
