That is absolutely true!

Bet365 have already pulled their ads from all affiliate websites and Betfair pulled out of the market altogether by sending relevant email notifications to players. Rumours have William Hill pulling out as well!

However, the RGA and EGBA have filled a joint compaint to the EU about the relative law and there good be changes to it as early as within December.

Fingers crossed!

It would be nice if the EU nations cooperated on gambling, I'm with you fingers crossed.
