EU court says unnotified gambling rules cannot be enforced against operators
The Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled that national gambling rules introducing new requirements cannot be enforced against gambling companies if they were not first notified to the European Commission under the TRIS procedure. The procedure includes a three-month review period; the European Gaming and Betting Association said proper notification allows scrutiny of draft rules for EU-law compatibility.
The ruling affects whether gambling operators can be held to national requirements that were not notified through TRIS.
