From April this year the following countries were under investigation by the European Commission:
Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Sweden and the Netherlands
Now, at least France and Portugal were added to the list.
If it happens that EU takes a position forcing these countries to end with their monopolies we have to thank bwin.
Please note that what is at stake on EU is not online gambling but gambling by private companies. EU would never make a distinction between online gambling and the offline version like in the US. If there are private companies operating offline, no one would block online companies of doing the same. That kind of proteccionism is not allowed.
