Serbia has issued a blacklist of 70 online gaming operators that service the country’s gambling inclinations.
Among the companies blacklisted are: 888, bwin.party, Ladbrokes, William Hill, Unibet, and Betfair. The Serbian government plans to block the ISPs of these sites but they have six months grace to decide whether to apply for a license in the country.
Serbia passed a law in November which will allow for a licensing system. It features a five percent gross gaming yield and 10 year license.
Serbian Association of Gaming Operators (JAKTA) director, Aleksandar Vulovic, told newspaper Blic, “We had to prevent access to illegal sites in order to have a regulated market, with leading players who will operate under the law and allow the state will reap the benefits.”
