From Intergame – Lithuania’s regulated land-based gaming operators are hoping the government will take action to either regulate online gaming or to strictly enforce a ban.
There is significant debate within the country over whether online gambling ought to be regulated. Today, i-gaming is deemed illegal but in reality has been allowed to emerge as a rival to the land-based sector through a lack of adequate controls.
Like elsewhere, land-based operators have found that competition from unlicensed, unregulated online operators to has had a significant impact upon their business.
InterGame has learned, however, that a new draft gaming law offering greater clarification on the status of online gambling could be submitted to the country’s parliament in the autumn.
