(Denmark).- Euromat, the voice of the gaming and amusement industry in Europe, has urged national regulators to ensure a level playing field between the online and land-based sectors. Among other national regulatory developments, Euromat members have highlighted discriminatory tax treatment in Denmark and the Netherlands as examples which could have tough economic consequences for gaming operators that currently employ more than 250,000 European citizens achieving revenues of more than 21 billion euros.
Euromat’s president Annette Kok said: “The land-based gaming entertainment industry is already highly taxed and highly regulated. Governments need to ensure that they regulate and tax in a way which allows land-based gaming companies to compete on a level playing field. Fair treatment will allow the sector to contribute positively to Europe’s leisure industry and create more European jobs.”
