OUT-LAW.COM reports that a French court ordered French ISPs to block the access for two months to a website offering games to French residents without holding a local gambling license.
This decision reminds me that Italian gambling law obliges from 2007 ISPs to implement filters blocking the access to websites run without an Italian remote gaming license that are identified through a black-list updated on a monthly basis by the Italian Gambling Regulator (AAMS).
Italian players trying to access to a gambling website run under a foreign license will end up to a page with the AAMS logo and, unless they put in place technical measures able to bypass the filters, they will not be able to access to non-licensed websites.
However, while in the past a number of Italian players were attracted by non-licensed websites where they could find better odds and higher wins, their trend during the last years is to prefer Italian licensed websites where they can rely on the higher level of guarantees provided by the Italian gaming framework.
This circumstance is leading more and more operators to the decision of applying for an Italian remote gaming license and the good thing is that very soon they will be in the position to obtain an Italian remote gaming license.
