CJEU rules Lithuania gambling-law amendment unenforceable after notification failure

The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that Lithuania’s 2021 gambling-law amendment was unenforceable against operators because the country failed to notify the European Commission, according to the report. The case arose after the Gambling Supervisory Authority fined Unigames €12,662 over website statements deemed to encourage gambling. Lithuania’s Supreme Administrative Court will now consider whether to annul the fine in light of the ruling.
