MEP cites 267 million illegal Paris 2024 Olympic streams linked to gambling ads
Italian MEP Lara Magoni said an estimated 267 million illegal views of the Paris 2024 Olympics were linked in many cases to illegal gambling advertising. Speaking in a European Parliament debate, she called for immediate action and faster cooperation between rights holders and platforms to curb live sports piracy ahead of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.
The cited scale of illegal viewing and gambling advertising puts online sports piracy on the agenda for gambling regulators and platforms.
