European Court of Justice says EU law allows recovery of gambling losses
The European Court of Justice ruled in case C-440/23 that EU law does not prevent a country from prohibiting certain online gambling offered under another EU state’s licence, according to the report. A consumer may seek repayment of losses where the games were prohibited in the consumer’s country, subject to national law.
The decision clarifies that an overseas gambling licence may not shield operators from claims under a market’s national law.
