Online gambling will be made legal in Estonia in 2010 but only EU online gambling sites will be allowed. All foreign operators will have to pay a hefty fee to have access to Estonian players and will also have to apply for a license. Estonia is going to enforce strict rules for casino operators to comply with to ensure their gambling license is valid. Estonia legalizing online gambling is a great step for the online gambling industry and hopefully other countries will follow in their wise foot step.
The Estonian government has decided to toughen up its laws on land casinos and online casinos in Estonia. The stricter measure will come in the form of making it hard for smaller companies to get involved in the land casino industry in Estonia by making minimum table requirements in land casinos higher and higher minimum capital requirements. News it still being awaited on their new stance for online gambling where possibly legalised and regualted online gambling will exist. This new change to the gambling laws has been brought around by a rise in problem gambling in Estonia.
