✦ Synopsis

Internet Law

Currently most online gambling sites breach Great Britain's criminal laws, except for pools and online betting. This may soon change if the Budd Report's recommendations are implemented by the Government. Not only would this change make online gambling a lawful activity, but the new regulatory regime proposed by the Report would be likely to make the UK a favoured location for establishing cross-border online gambling operations.
