GAMING & RACING

There are few sectors dependent as much on government regulation as gambling and racing. Most jurisdictions in the world maintain the approach of “everything is banned unless the law allows it”. This means that a government relations strategy is crucial to any business in this sector.

 

This is even more the case today, when many jurisdictions are changing their rules. Rules are changed because of the introduction of new technologies and internationalisation of the gaming and entertainment markets. Online gaming has become Internet killer application that has no boundaries. Most governments are therefore choosing to regulate and control gambling as opposed to keeping bans or monopolies.

 

While gambling markets around the world are opening up, the European Union adds an important cross border dimension to gambling regulation, which obliges economic operators in this area to consider both national and European regulation and policy developments.
