(Gibraltar).- The European Commission released a new report regarding the protection of online gamblers and the prevention of underage gambling, in which the organization praised Gibraltar for their existing regulations and principles.

Minister for Gaming, Albert Isola MP said: “These principles reflect the existing regulations in Gibraltar for ensuring online gaming services are safe and reliable. For nearly two decades Gibraltar has helped set the standards for online gaming and we will continue to do so. It is pleasing to see among the Recommendations so much of what we already do, and that Gibraltar’s own proposal for national self-exclusion registers has been adopted by the Commission.”

Currently Gibraltar licenses only 30 online gambling operators; however many of them are the largest within the online gambling sector.

“Gibraltar licence holders are the ‘top drawer’ of the remote gambling industry and much of what is recommended is already firmly in place here.” Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner PhillBrear said.
