Last week, local authorities vowed to do "whatever it takes" to keep its position as a leading online gambling jurisdiction despite Britain's looming exit from the European Union.

"Whatever Brexit may produce for Gibraltar, government will adapt its licensing and regulatory arrangements to ensure we remain the premier remote gambling jurisdiction," the government said in a statement.

Gibraltar remains the premier and first choice jurisdiction for the biggest and best operators in this industry," the government said.

Several dozen sports betting and casino gambling companies operate in the territory, employing more than one in 10 workers, thanks to its low-tax regime.

Britain's exit from the EU, which Gibraltarians massively opposed in last year's referendum, could handicap the economy of "The Rock", according to a report by the House of Lords published in March.

According to the report, Paddy Power Betfair Gibraltar employees, estimated at around 20, will be offered relocation opportunities.
