THE COOPERATION ARRANGEMENT ON ONLINE GAMBLING SERVICES – A CONCRETE TOOL
On 27 November 2015, gambling regulatory authorities from twenty EEA Member States signed a cooperation arrangement on online gambling services1, setting out the scope, procedure and practical arrangements for this cooperation between them.
Following the European Commission Expert Group on Gambling Services launch in 20122, this arrangement is a further implementation of the Commission communication “Towards a comprehensive European framework on online gambling”3 which has set out an action plan to address the online gambling challenges in the EU and where enhanced administrative cooperation and efficient enforcement are among the proposed actions.
