Ladbrokes said it was preparing to submit a complaint to the European Union after losing the appeal case in the Netherlands courts against an injunction which prevents the bookmaker from accepting online bets from Dutch citizens.
“The state operator has instigated legal proceedings to protect their monopoly position and the national courts are supporting them. This is a clear breach of EU law,” commented John O\’Reilly, Ladbrokes Managing Director of eGaming.
O\’Reilly also said the case would now be taken to the Dutch SupremeCourt, which has an obligation to refer it to the European Court of Justice to resolve the issue in the context of EU law.
