Default EU law may allow bans on foreign gambling websites

EU law may allow bans on foreign bet websites

European Union law may let countries ban foreign gambling websites if the intention is to stop crime, the bloc's top court said on Tuesday in a judgment that will reverberate through the betting industry.

Shares in Austrian online gambling group bwin -- one of Europe's biggest Internet bookmakers -- tumbled more than 5 percent on the news.

The ruling is a setback for online gaming groups, which have launched a series of legal challenges to domestic betting monopolies, because it could make it harder for them to open up shop around the 27-country EU.
