Eight European gambling groups call for coordinated action against unregulated operators
Chief executives of bet365, Betsson, Entain, Evoke, FDJ United, Flutter, LeoVegas and Superbet called for coordinated action against unregulated gambling operators in a joint letter, according to reports. They said their companies served 38 million accounts across 21 European countries and paid €3.8bn in tax in 2024. They also cited the Netherlands, where illegal-market revenue reportedly matched regulated-market revenue within months of new spending limits.
The groups are pressing for regulatory approaches they say can protect consumers while limiting migration to unregulated operators.
