Integrity of sport and players’ protection in the heart of European Parliament’s concerns

16/09/2013

The European Parliament has approved earlier this week an online gambling motion tabled by Conservative MEP Ashley Fox, aiming at protecting consumers and the integrity of sport.

The approved motion sets out a number of recommendations in order to build a comprehensive European framework for online gambling, which would demand a closer cooperation between European member states. The players’ protection is one of the main points of the motion, with measures aimed at tackling issues such as addictive gambling and irresponsible advertising campaigns. The motion also requests that state regulators place a ban on all forms of live sports betting as “these have proved to be very vulnerable to match-fixing and therefore pose a risk to the integrity of sport”. Live betting has grown in popularity over the past few years. Other recommendations include harmonizing national gambling tax regimes to prevent disproportionate tax concessions and the implementation of a compulsory third-party identification control in order to exclude minors or those using fake identities from online gambling.
