Bwin, the Austrian online gaming giant and online bingo operator submitted suggestions at the recent Gaming Executive Summit in Madrid aimed at promoting a regulated online gaming industry environment in Spain.

Karin Klein, Bwin’s Regulatory Affairs Director for European online gambling giant Bwin, presented suggestions saying new Spanish online gaming regulations should account for the country’s  existing license and tax laws, transparency of companies, security, promotion of a responsible gaming policy and the creation of an independent control body.

It is estimated that regulatory tax policies could provide Spain with up to $1.03 billion from online gambling.  Online bingo is a growing sector in Spanish online gaming with a number of UK online bingo halls now offering online bingo games services in Spanish.

The Ukraine’s Accounting Chamber is saying not enough is being done to bring about a better regulated gambling market and that the fault lays with state bodies responsible for legislative and regulatory state policy.

A lack of dynamic action on the part of legislators has stopped effective regulation that could reduce gambling-related crimes, protect players and help boost taxes for social expenditure, according to a report by the Accounting Chamber Board.

Online bingo games operators and online bingo halls would be keen to see the Ukraine adopt a more regulated online gambling industry approach similar to that enjoyed in the UK.  At present, online bingo is a minor part of the gaming landscape in the former Soviet state, but a more regulated environment would help bingo’s spread in the growing former Eastern Bloc countries.

“Legislative and regulatory framework of [the] gambling business is incomplete and improper and disputable issues are unsolved,” the Accounting Chamber Board commented

The Board added that the present gambling laws are fragmented and spread amongst many different central and regional authorities.  The Board called for a cohesive system for the exchange of information with a  focus on the number of entities subjected to state regulation, their licenses, financial performance and budgets at all levels.

Turkey is reported to be close to privatizing the country’s state-owned National Lottery, with some estimates saying this may happen by August.

Turkey’s online gaming market needs to be liberalized as part of the country’s attempts at joining the European Union.  Due to current state-run gambling monopolies online bingo games operators and online bingo halls are not abel to operate in Turkey, something that may change in the future if the relaxing on the National Lottery is anything to go by.

A US trade delegation trip to Antigua aimed at negotiating a resolution to the ongoing online gaming dispute between the two countries has produced little hope of a settlement any time soon.

The Antigua Sun is reporting that Antigua Finance Minister Errol Cort is saying the negotiations can be expected to continue for another two or three months.

The next set of discussions are penciled in for August 1, 2008.

Bingo online industry observers have been watching for developments in the dispute which has seen the tiny Caribbean island nation locked in an argument over the US’ UIGEA legislation.  Antiguan online gaming companies have effectively been banned from doing business in the US due to UIGEA, an act Antigua says puts the US in direct violation of its World Trade Organization obligations.

Antigua-registered online bingo halls other online gaming companies suffered massive losses due to the implementation of UIGEA in late 2006.  The online gaming industry has long had hopes that Antigua’s WTO action against the US would help eliminate UIGEA.  To date, such hopes have proved elusive despite the WTO ruling in favour of the small Caribbean nation.
