Taking a look again at the control of gambling monopolies
By Justin Franssen and Dr. Alan Littler, Kalff Katz & Franssen
It is now more than a decade since Dr Alan Littler and Justin Franssen addressed the question of “How should we define ‘strict control’?”, in European Gaming Lawyer, regarding the circumstances in which Member States can award an exclusive licence for gambling services without any form of competition. This question is one which continues to feed debate, and a recent piece by Dr Alan Littler looks back at what has happened in the intervening time whilst coupling this question with a look at the potential tripwires for gambling monopolists; advertising and the generation of revenues for good causes.
