Belgium Gaming Commission Files Complaint Against Online Political Gambling

Belgium’s Gaming Commission recently filed a complaint in the Brussels prosecutor’s office against Unibet.com, a Malta-based international gambling website, for allowing gamblers to bet on when the country will resolve its current political deadlock and form a new government. The commission is claiming that such betting is illegal under Belgium law. Unibet, on the other hand, claims to be doing nothing wrong under Belgian or European Union regulations. Unibet has also listed bets on elections in Poland and Norway, as well as which Democratic or Republican candidates would win the primaries in the United States.
