European Lotteries calls for country-by-country prediction-market regulation
European Lotteries has called for prediction markets to be assessed according to their product features and risks, rather than their labels or underlying technology, the organisation said. Secretary-general Piet Van Baeveghem said comparable risks should receive comparable safeguards; the group favours national-level analysis before a European strategy is developed.
The proposed approach could shape how gambling rules and safeguards apply to prediction-market products across European jurisdictions.
